Fascinating. Do please post more.

Interesting to hear how fluidly the turns are executed.

I bought one of these a couple years ago. Had been hanging in a garage in New Hampshire for years.

[Philbatrom]

I like it! People say that this is an ugly sounding instrument but I think it sounds beautiful.

[MrQuieregato]

bravissimo!

[Tageine]

Wow! As an experienced trombonist, I am in awe of your technique and tone! Beautiful! I think this sounds better, dare I say it, than euphonium or trombone? I am amazed at the seamless transitions from the high to low ranges during the arpeggiated passages! I want one!

The timbre is almost exactly midway between a bassoon and a euphonium. Remarkable playing.

[ericoschmitt]

sounds like french horn, but with more precise notes

[Chidogerardo]

@ericoschmitt It does NOT sound like a french horn

[ericoschmitt]

@Chidogerardo ok.. maybe an euphonium then.. it is wide conical bore, they will sound similar

[ErosBombardino]

me encanta el oficleide!

[trandbone]

You're the best Patoch'!



[MarciusJV]

Un instrument dangereux à jouer car l'ajustement des notes n' est pas facile pour un amateur. Mes compliments au soliste. (Où puis-je en acheter un?)

Incredible playing toward the end.... It's sooooo fast! The names of the musicians are shown at the end of the clip. For those who don't know, Hummel was around at the time of Beethoven and was greatly admired by him. Sadly forgotten today, although he was quite a prolific composer and famous in his day.

aussi bon à l'ophicléide qu'au serpent ! merci pour cet excellent concert hier à Dunkerque

[ApolyonTheSoulRender]

sounds like a euphonium! wonderful sound

[SnipeHear1]

@ApolyonTheSoulRender

[barbietripping]

[gsmonks]
