[@paulcisse]

Merci et bravo de nous faire connaitre cet instrument, de le faire si bien et avec autant de talent et d'humour. J'aime les musiciens comme vous !

I don't speak a word of French, so I hope schilke60fr can read English. Thank you for posting this video of an Ophicleide being played. I always wanted to know what they sounded like, and now I do. Thank you very much.

C'est magnifique !

[@trumpetermonkey]

ohhh wonderful

[@barbietripping]

playing begins at 2:13

[@ppwaterfield]

Douglas Yeo, trombone player in the Boston Symphony Orchestra, plays both ophicleide and serpent.

C génial !

[@EvanCallaway]

Fantastic ophicleide playing! I loved it, though I would have preferred it if they had saved the discussion for after the music. Thankfully, the vast majority of the ophicleide playing was still audible.

[@SotR59]

I've heard "of" these but this is the first time I heard it played. Very cool but I can see what he means. The upper register and lower register sound like two different horns. The high sounds like a French horn and the middle to bottom sounds like a trombone or perhaps a baritone. I like it though. Would love to have one for my collection.

なるほど、これがオフィクレードか…気に入った!吹いてみたい!

[@Gpe_EvonyMus]

Monstrueux... de talents... je suis sur qu'avec un tuyeau d'arrosage... m'enfin... J'ai un ophicleide dans son jus á céder... avis aux talents en herbe !

[@estebandurand]

L'avez vous encore ?

[@monteleone1010]

are there ophicléides in America? I've never seen one so far...

[@fstover5208]

There are a few. I used to own one.

[@BillyBaconBowl]

What song is this?

[@sokudumi]

Euphonium?

[@boptillyouflop]

Predecessor to the Euphonium and the Tuba! When the Tuba came out, it basically completely replaced the Ophicleide due to having a better low range and being easier to play in tune(!)

[@Ruigekerel]

@ppwaterfield so?

[@moses1202]

sounds like french horn, i think it's because the mouthpiece is similar

[@5610winston]

It certainly has a nicer timbre than a serpent, almost like a euphonium, but I do hear the intonation issues.

[@youtuuba]

A nice performance. Too bad it is spoiled by the misinformation spoken by the performer, who has learned to play ophicleide but has not bothered to learn about his instrument in other ways, and has not learned its correct history or that of the serpent. Then his nice performance is interrupted by idiotic comments by others. This performance should be re-posted without the commentary, in which case it can stand as a useful item.

@sokudumi Are you blind?

[@DONTXBREAK]

at least in the first movement it sounded like garbage

[@gagnesotti]

WTF?????
