Ophicleide with a Saxophone Mouthpiece

Wherein I take a Bari Sax mouthpiece and put it on my new Ophicleide. And I try my Bari Sax with an Ophicleide mouthpiece.

[@Subcontrabassoon]

No sound I have ever heard has compared with that of a bari sax mouthpiece on a sousaphone.

[@organist1982]

As an organist, the first time I tried that (which was between class periods in high school), I immediately thought of the 32' Contre bombarde stop. Unfortunately, one of the band directors didn't appreciate the sound AT ALL, and he came out of his office and demanded that I stop! I was so excited and crushed at the same time!

@@organist1982 He demanded that you "stop?"

[@matthewsaxman1028]

That instrument has been written for. "Tyrannosaurus Rocks", By Mike Hannickel. Epic tyrannophone solo at the end. Earth shattering.

[@drishd6571]

Never knew John Green could play an instrument

[@nlv7125]

GG, you created the simple-reed sarrusophone 😂

[@Jared_De_Leon]

That worked way better than I thought it would. Thanks!

[@DynamixWarePro]

Could you try it with a bass clarinet mouthpiece? It was experimenting with a bass clarinet mouthpiece on an ophicleide, that gave Adolphe Sax the idea to create the first saxophone so wondering what the two sound like together. I am guessing it would be similar to the bari sax mouthpiece you tried.

[@youtuuba]

Although many people assume that Sax got the idea for the Saxophone after sticking a clarinet mouthpiece in an Ophicleide, the historical record does not support this.

[@putriscool]

@@youtuuba bold claim with no evidence

[@youtuuba]

@@putriscool PutrisCool, yours is a foolish statement. The OP made a statement without merit or historical basis. I responded that the historical record does not support his guess. YOU have now claimed that my statement is a "bold claim" (apparently you don't even know what that means or how to use it correctly), and you suggest that there is no evidence to support my claim. So, logically, you compound the OP's ignorance with your own, and think that somehow contradicts my statement which is based on reading much history and research. Geez, KZbin lets anyone make unfounded comments, more is the pity.

[@MewingC]

thats what I was looking for

[@zxertsz]

@@youtuubado you still believe this??

[@iantheorem]

I’d like to see you and Trent Hamilton in a brass wrestling match. Would be a fun sight to behold

[@BretNewtonComposer]

Sadly, I'm not a brass player.

[@duckserenade]

Just as Papa Berlioz wanted it.

[@mitchelljroth]

This man delivers on his promises

[@pukalo]

I once put a trumpet mouthpiece on my alto saxophone and had a small amount of success.

[@CH3CH2COOCH2CH3]

The sound of Saxicleide fits Berlioz much more

[@unoriginal422]

The saxophone ophicleide sounds like The Shining

[@willemkossen]

Interesting. Well, as a kid i tried assembling instruments together from the segments of others. Several size recoders, flutes and my clarinet and the bulgarian caval. Maybe this is just the kidlike desire to just see what happens. Sax was just more successful or lucky than me ;). What else can you ‘stick a mouthpiece on’v

[@mihailmilev9909]

A fellow Bulgarian?

[@willemkossen]

@@mihailmilev9909 nope, but I was interested in music from Bulgaria and other countries in the region. The Caval was especially interesting as it has an interesting way to make the sound by blowing on the edge of what is basically just a tube. in fact: I'm Dutch.

[@matthew0757]

Could you do it with a double reed eventually if you made like a giant bassoon reed?

[@raphael.cavalcanti3301]

Should've done it with a clarinet mouthpiece :b

[@l3v.b]

thanks

[@jaysparc]

It gives bagpipes a run for the money.

[@Mcode11Youtube]

sounds like a sarrusophone

[@FahsaiVchanCh]

this is thing that ophicliede could be

[@abedinsubashi]

Basically a bass sax

[@youtuuba]

Abedin Subashi, people who actually know what they are talking about would disagree with your comment

[@GRONKIN]

Actually it is a subcontrabass sax sound

[@mingusman84]

Yes, bass sax range - exactly correct. Bass saxophone was the first invented by Sax, as evidenced here.

[@jomarluke]

The part with the ophi mp sounds kind of like a bad serpent. Sax mp with ophi is creepy. I may need to buy a Bari mp one day...

[@rafaeltrindade6414]

A bigger mouthpiece should work better on the baritone. Try a tuba one.

[@orifox1629]

that makes sense. i was kinda feeling like the tone was a little thin with the ophicleid mouthpiece on the bari sax

[@asterl-b4772]

A bassoon bocal should fit into the ophicleide similarly to a tromboon...

[@nathanpillsbury2631]

Bb or BBb? ;)

[@kaziiqbal7257]

I believe it’s just Bb, same length as a euph I think

[@jacobeverman5694]

If you look in the bottom right corner you’ll see the satanic verses on the shelf

[@BretNewtonComposer]

Which I've read cover to cover. Not an easy book by any means, but an important one.

[@arisowizard7178]

You know that you're supposed to use your tongue to seperate the notes from each other?

[@BretNewtonComposer]

You know, in nearly 30 years of playing that's the first time I've heard that.... (Also, I rewatched the video and I literally tongued every single note I played)
