Gotthelf Heinrich Kummer: Variationen für Ophikleide

[@brendenvarty3266]

Beautiful. Such a mellow, fragile sounding instrument. Too bad it is so rare.

[@and7barton]

Not rare these days. Several major manufacturers produce the ophicleide.

[@gregmonks]

It's good to see the many younger (compared to me) players coming along.

Bravo!

[@bsk5898]

sound is like horn + euphonium!

[@MrMala10]

Showwww.... congratulações

[@nicolagallino1808]

Meraviglioso!

[@MrMala10]

Como é onde consigo um método de ensino do ophicleide?

[@fspinterpretation]

Perhaps the Schule für Ophicleide by Erhard Schwartz www.koebl.de/de/category/Schulen/Schwartz-Erhard-Schule-fuer-Ophicleide-_000544617/index.php?page=1&db=Noten&id=*000544617 Another publication by our team is in preparation.

terrific.

The ophicleide looks tough to play. His upper hand seems to be playing the lower notes and the lower hand playing the upper notes. It's like he's trying to play upside down and backward.

[@TheodoreBrown314]

The way the ophicleide works is effectively backwards from a standard brass instrument - when you press a key, it opens a hole instead of closing one (the exception being the thumb key). The RH keys would therefore raise the pitch by a small amount, and the LH keys would therefore raise it by a larger amount. Because the high note harmonics are close together, you wouldn’t need to use the LH keys very often (Hell, I know you didn’t ask for an explanation, but I figure you might be interested?)

Injustement relégué aux oubliettes de l'histoire , ce bel instrument mérite de revenir au coeur de l'orchestre symphonique .

Bravo! Ophicleide in C? Made by who and what year? Danke!

[@fspinterpretation]

Yes, it's an ophicleide in C, a replica made by Konrad Burri, Zimmerwald (Switzerland) in about 2008.

[@jomarluke]

@@fspinterpretation Wäre der geehrte Herr Burri dazu bereit, noch eine zu machen, oder ist diese Ophikleide die erste und letzte, die er vorhat?

[@fspinterpretation]

@@jomarluke Grundsätzlich steht einer Bestellung nichts im Wege. Am besten kontaktieren Sie ihn gleich direkt über die Website www.blaswerkstattburri.ch/

[@someperson6329]

Is this being played on a genuine ophicleide or a reproduction?

[@fspinterpretation]

This is a reproduction - but of course it is still a genuine ophicleide (yet built in the 21st century).

[@demotester3095]

Gut gespielt, aber dieses Instrument ist völlig zu Recht aus dem Orchester verschwunden.

[@jomarluke]

Komm doch.... Es kann schön klingen. Klar es hat seine Intonationsfälle. Schon von Patrick Wibart gehört?

[@MrHank645]

Obwohl von einem Könner gespielt, wird offensichtlich, weshalb dieses Vorläuferinstrument durch andere, etwa das Euphonium, ersetzt wurde.
