Dindi - Doug Webb

[@robertglogowski777]

It's super inspiring seeing someone who not just collects all these amazing and rare horns, but goes through the time and effort to both improve at playing on, as well as performing/recording with them. It proves that even the black sheep of instrument families can add so much to an ensemble with their unique tones and timbres.

[@rochthis]

Right on Brandon, Doug and Ladd! KILLER!

[@Saxman_sam]

This is just beyond fricken cool. I love the use of the low sax’s. Especially the tubax. It seems like a very versatile instrument

[@peterculjak]

This is just about the last place I expected to see a Heckelphone! RIght on!

[@TimsTunes]

Astounding job Doug Webb. Astounding display of instruments and talent in your multitude of performances. Exceptional job as well, for David Horner, who made the entire ensemble sing with clarity and audio creativity, finding a space in the mix for each part played.

[@baffspoon]

Doug, wow, this is beautiful! Just exquisite playing on all the instruments, and Ladd's arrangement is superb! Can't wait to hear the next one!!

[@ogle1do]

[@davethomasson6571]

Maestro! Bravissimo!!

[@dcp8nts]

Absolutely stunning! I'd love to see a family portrait of all your wind instruments. Did I count 35 different instruments? BRAVO Doug!

Beautiful work by Doug and Ladd.

[@hansullrich4065]

Hi Doug, thank you very much for this impressing moment of music, especially tenor solo.

[@rosswooldridgemusic6402]

Wow! I love this! Thanks for sharing - and I saw and heard instruments I'd only ever read about. Well done!

[@darbstar1]

Not a dry reed in the house - Awesome!

[@Edspillanemusic]

A beautiful melody and sound on all the woodwinds. Love the tenor solo. The videos sound incredible. Keep them coming Doug!

[@yoelhooper-antunez1016]

Yay! So excited to hear more from Doug

[@MusicLiberates]

Wow, an incredible arrangement by Ladd and fantastic performances by Doug. Beautiful solo tenor sound!!

[@GaryMeekJazz]

Just great Doug!! Masterful

[@instrumentalheadquarters7062]

Hey Doug. I love your work, but I was wondering if you could do videos on these odd one of a kind instruments, since there is barely any (or none) informational videos on the Webb(lol) about them. Like octavin, c basset horn, contrabass crumhorn, Db flute, Bb Piccolo clarinet(I would love that since that kalison is so rare!) and the others, its sad that theres nothing out there about them. Also maybe a video on sarrusophones and what reeds you use with each size of sarrusophone. Since Ive been wondering what reeds are best for each size.

[@dougwebbmusic2300]

I tried using bassoon reeds eventually I had someone make me several custom reeds for each ax

[@dougwebbmusic2300]

The Db flute is a Haynes from the 20s I think it doesn’t sound much different than a C flute I believe Haynes still made Db pics and flutes into the 40s.

[@KenLasaine]

Fantastic! One of my fave tunes.

[@tcorman]

Exquisite writing and playing!

[@gilbertovera9428]

absolutely wonderful!

[@SharpElevenMusic]

Superb! Keep em coming Doug, this is some of the most original and beautiful music on KZbin!

[@peterlehel-finetonemusic]

Masterpiece!!! What an arrangement. Bravo!!! Wonderful playing!!!

[@frankmacchiaYeah]

This is just wonderful Doug! Beautiful playing on every instrument and Ladd’s arrangement is gorgeous! Keep ‘em coming!!!

[@dougwebbmusic2300]

Thank you frank I love your work as well

[@TheSimonsax]

Fantastic playing Doug. Enjoyed this one a lot! Ladd McIntosh isn't a name you hear regularly, but a monster arranger!

[@mikevaccaro8989]

So glad to see you having that much fun playing. You are inspiring as usual.

[@dougwebbmusic2300]

Mike Vaccaro was my flute teacher in the summer of 1978 the year I graduated from college. I was basically a beginner on flute then and he was one of the best teachers I’ve ever had. When we worked together in 1987 with Kenny Rogers I’m pretty sure he didn’t remember me.

[@PabloVestory]

Bravo!!!

[@TonyJones-drummer]

The best

[@sinnott4]

Great work, I know how much work it is to put one of these together, I'm sure it took hours! Fantastic arrangement and playing!

[@stratostones]

Yeah Doug!!!

[@VenomousBrass]

What amazing work you’re doing with these instruments! If I were ever lucky enough to compose a collection of my own, I’d want to share it the same way you do yours. Keep ‘‘em coming!

very handsome.

[@loganaut6030]

I've been thinking about this for a while now, but what genre would this kinda music fall under.

[@raffosax]

Great Doug! I have a curiosity: How long did it take you to record the entire song? Thanks

[@dougwebbmusic2300]

Around 10-20 minutes per instrument. A few took longer if I needed to find a reed

[@raffosax]

@@dougwebbmusic2300 You are incredible! I love you Maestro!!!!

[@jeffreywlin]

@@dougwebbmusic2300 and I’ve seen how selective you are with reeds

[@ericgale7707]

Just beautiful Doug! I love it! You know I dig the wild horns and the contras. Are they in your collection or are some borrowed? What a fun and deep project. How long doing all those parts? Then how long to finish the production?

[@dougwebbmusic2300]

They’re all mine. My children’s inheritance!!

[@ericgale7707]

They'll do alright then!

[@deadstar4955]

Big fan of the sarrusophone, why isn't the idea of a brass bassoon still kicking around like it should be

[@dougwebbmusic2300]

There have been metal bassoons made but Sarrusophones are very different sounding mostly due to the taper I think

[@JiveDadson]

​@@dougwebbmusic2300Yeah, a sarrusophone has more in common with a sax than a bassoon. First overtones.

[@greenebrothersband7671]

This is beautiful. but you really need a FINE HIFI to listen to it on.

[@brickboo1]

Do you own all these instruments? Did you do this in a home studio? How many years did it take? lol

[@dougwebbmusic2300]

Recorded in my living room

[@brickboo1]

@@dougwebbmusic2300 do you own, rent, or borrow all the different instruments?

[@nicolarulli7733]

Mr Webb, may I suggest an addition to your collection? Medieval european bombardes are double reed instruments with a mouthpiece called "pirouette" ( also exists in double reed folk instruments in some other parts of the world), which allows one to rest the lips much further in, and let the reed freely play inside the mouth. This is generally seen as crass by oboists since it doesn't strictly require as much focus on embouchure, however - depending on how the reed is shaped - applying embouchure to that further point in the reed can allow the realisation of various levels of muting or "chewing" of the sound, meaning that in practice this setup can compensate for the lower dynamic range of double reeds compared to single reeds. Out of the many descendants of the medieval bombarde, only a few have kept that feature. One that has maintained it, and consistently makes use of its potential, is the northwest-italian piffero. Players whose style extensively uses such articulation include Stefano Valla, Marco Domenichetti and Stefano Faravelli.

[@dougwebbmusic2300]

Thank you Nicola

[@Bunzboy-th2jj]

is this a full collection? or were some instruments loaned?

[@dougwebbmusic2300]

They’re all mine

[@Bunzboy-th2jj]

extremely impressive, would love a collection tour video! i just found your videos and was blown away@@dougwebbmusic2300
