Engebert Brepsant: Duett für 2 Ophikleiden

[@bandicoot5412]

The smoothest presentation of the ophicleide I've ever heard.

[@fstover5208]

Excellent. I wish to compose a concerto for ophicleide.

[@fspinterpretation]

What a great idea - please keep us informed.

[@CoryLeavitt]

Wish they would keep these great instruments around for people to e joy playing.

[@MarechalVI]

The ophicleide is basically just a brass basoon

[@elyzsabethahne2116]

Sweet and mellow!

[@theafellacomposer]

It’s nice to know that Sam Winchester and Kevin Tran play Ophicleides.

[@instralikesoranges1659]

Bassoon + Baritone = this

[@Swedbander]

This + Bass Clarinet mouthpiece + Boehm's key system for the Flute + Bent in a different way to fool people thinking it's something new + Adding "ophone" to your name to call it by = Saxophone

Bravo! Excellent job!

[@davidrockefeller2007]

Can these play a chromatic scale

[@fspinterpretation]

Yes, they can do with their nine to twelve keys.

[@aminthasangel6393]

Sehr gut!

Hello from Germany, is there a way to obtain the score for that? Best wishes

Up next the tromboon made popular by P.D.Q. Bach.

Halfway through I started laughing uncontrollably, don’t even know why

[@Felix-nh5pw]

Ophicleida sounds bad and tune even worse. Just as Berlioz said its more suited to bloody druid ritual.

[@riythemusicguy7696]

I disagree, if they're played correctly, like in the video.

[@Felix-nh5pw]

@@riythemusicguy7696 Guys playing it on the video are very good players. My point is that ofiklejda was indisputably overcome in literaly all ways. The sound of ophiklejda was so diferet that didnt fit with french horns niether trombones. I do not see reason to use it apart of sentimental reasons. I hope that some moron conducter would not want me play on this in the future as cimbasso. (also instrument that should no exist).

[@riythemusicguy7696]

@@Felix-nh5pw i understand your point with the ophicleide, but I disagree with your argument about the cimbasso. It's certainly a useful instrument when attempting to play maybe not classical pieces, but I've seen it used in many a jazz band and other non-classical arrangements.

[@Felix-nh5pw]

@@riythemusicguy7696 Well the name cimbasso is mutilation of c-basso. It is was sign for an bass instrument with mouthpiece (serpent, ophicleide, bombordon,tuba,peliton etc. and finally contrabastrombone). The thing is that Verdi dindnt like sound of conical bas instrument and prefered 4 trombones section. That become a tradition in italian opera... If you see old contrabsstrombone in f- it is basicly "modern cimbasso". The shape of cimbasso is mainly because in Lascala orchestra pit was not enough space. Also mouthpiece for "cimbasso" and for contrabastrombone is nearly the same. Cimbaso is just F trombone with valves. I dont see reason for tuba player should play the trombone.

[@Felix-nh5pw]

Also some conductors say use cimbasso because the autentcity of sound. I ask than what is the point of having only one autentic instrument in orchestra to make the sound authentic 🤣. There should be all trombones with valves and narrow mensura.
