Великобритания
Добавлен 9 сен 2020
St Cecilia's Hall is Scotland's oldest concert hall and the home to the University of Edinburgh's world famous musical instrument collection.
Learn about the fascinating history of musical instruments, their performers and makers on this channel. We feature demonstrations of our collection, concerts performed in our historic building, behind the scene tours, interviews with experts, and silly facts about musical instruments and historic performance.
ABOUT: We are a small group of people who are passionate about musical instruments and their history and who work at St Cecilia's Hall. Technically we are organologist (people who study the history and development of musical instruments) and have many advanced degrees between us, but let's be honest - we are instrument geeks!

Instrument Conservation: A Talk by Conservator Dr Jonathan Santa Maria Bouquet
If you've visited our museum you've probably seen into our conservation studio and wondered what on earth goes on in there. Or perhaps you've been to a concert here to see one of our historic harpsichords played and asked yourself how we preserve these instruments to keep them playable and why we let people play them at all.
If you want to learn about why, what, and how we do conservation here at St Cecilia's then enjoy this short informal talk by our conservator to get a glimpse into the wonderful world of instrument conservation.

MAKE IT FART
Basicamente um oboé d'amore só que maior
I'd be interested to hear him playing it after about a week of practicing on it. He doesn't seem to really know how to play it.
Every performance is improved with practice. Historic instruments can often to be difficult to play - especially if it is one of a kind, like this particular example is. There are no 'fingering charts' or method books for the Anaconda, so playing the instrument is always an adventure.
I have no idea where my hieland laddie's gone, but that's a cool instrument.
Lovely video, very informative, but still quick and digestible!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Amos Midwinter played Pochette perhaps dimly dreamed as violin by John Buchan …
Sounds like the background music at the end of a war movie
ok nerd?
It would have been much easier to play if the bridge was on its historically correct location: between sound holes and tailpiece! See The Galpin Society Journal, LXXI, march 2018, pp. 35-56, pp. 145-147, and Early Music, Volume 48, Issue 2, May 2020, p. 225-250.
Having only enjoyed visiting the finished building, it's fascinating to see the process of redevelopment and restoration.
Hadn't even noticed this video. The RUclips algorithm does work in rather strange ways..
This is beautiful. I'm a trombone player and this is now my new favorite
So glad you liked the video and the instrument.
Thanks! It’s like a mix of saxophone and brass
Wow!
This feels as a good alternative for playing violin in a seemingly to me more comfortable placement-way to get initiated in a string instrument and her "typicals" (articulations) for translating this into my "sample library"-played keyboard system. Just a first pop-upping thought.
Fork fingerings, this recorder player feels right at home! Would love to have one!
sweet job
The clarinet is kind of a downgrade, at least tone-wise. Not sure about range and such; I don't play either instrument.
Very interesting indeed. Thank you!
Almost has a bowed string-like quality reminiscent of a hurdy-gurdy or a viol or something. Would be interesting to hear a whole section of these playing chords; I suspect in a wind band they could easily take the place of tenor string parts.
This must be the violin Mr. Krabs was talking about 😭🎻
I saw one of these back in 1978 at the IDRS festival at Occidental College.
Quite the cute, little instrument. It packs a big punch, for it's little size.
Very cool. Question, that's a full size violin bow, right? Would there traditionally been a pocket sized bow to go with the pochette?
Yes, the performer used his own bow, which was a smaller baroque-style bow. There were bows made specifically for pochettes (kits) and we have a few in our collection, but they are not in playing condition, so we could not use them for the filming. Here are some links with examples: collections.ed.ac.uk/mimed/record/14743?highlight=bow collections.ed.ac.uk/mimed/record/17503?highlight=bow
It has a sweeter tone than the modern clarinet, I like it better.
Agreed! We think it is important to remember that with musical instruments modern doesn't always mean "better". Many instruments of the past have beautiful sounds.
Thanks :)
🥰
The keyed bugle sounds so much better than a valved cornet! It seems to have so much more expressive possibilities than modern valved brass!
Beautiful instrument, beautifully played. Thank you for uploading this. ❤
The one time I've heard a baritone oboe played in person was when the Paris Conservatoire orchestra performed Edgard Varèse's Arcana in concert at Radio France, December 1984.
I play pontic lyre It's almost same traditional instrument we have here in Greece on pontus!!!
How very cool! I wasn't aware of the similarity between the two instruments. Thanks for sharing.
Hola...que bien suena el violín Stroh yo tengo uno y no me suena también...por favor que cuerdas usas.. gracias un abrazo ..
Hola Tito, gracias por tu comentario. Usamos cuerdas de tripa en el Stroh. Aquí está el sitio web de la marca: aquilacorde.com/en/shop/early-music-strings/violin-viola-cello/violin/set-violino-en/baroque-violin-setup-according-to-todays-criteria-in-lamb-gut/
Wow. -Didn't see that one comin'. I think I woulda marked it off if I hadn't have heard it first. I've never seen this instrument. -And I know everything.
Before they putted electronics in them?
Thank you 🙏🏽 for this vid
This video is a couple years old now, so hopefully someone is around to anwser... Im curious, are these the very pipes that are drawn in the Cocks and Bryan book as half-long pipes?
Hi - sorry for the slow response. Yes, these are the same pipes. There are some very slight alternations in the drawing from the original, but yes, the drawings are based on these pipes.
@@StCeciliasHallThat's awesome! Thought it looked familiar. I recently 3d printed a set based on those drawings! The drones are lovely, but I never was able to get the chanter to play in tune with itself
@@user-nc2dx7em1v isn't that typical of all bagpipes (just kidding!).
Calum, thank you so much for all your explanations AND giving us an example how a basset horn actually sounds! As you can easily see you‘ve reached already 2,000 interested clarinet players … Could you ask Anton Stadler if he played Mozart on a basset horn or a basset clarinet (or even his own construction)? I am getting confused and hope to hear more from you in another video. ;-)
Thank you for the comment! We will pass it along to Calum.
Something for a traveler to pull out at the inn, maybe get a free drink.
Only in the West have music and musical instruments reached such a level of complexity and sophistication.
Is this what they used in the Star Wars cantina band?
Nope
Finally a way for me to signal my mock sympathy
So do you leave the paper design glued to the parchment? Thanks, all the best!
One of the cleanest natural horn playings out there.
are those ysl wyatts?
Sabía de su existencia, pero nunca lo había visto. Gracias por el vídeo y la interpretación !!! Por lo que veo es una octava más grave que el oboe.
De nada!
Thank you Adolph for the bass clarinet 🙏🙏
He modified the bass clarinet. He didn't invent it.
@@gregmonks He improved it beyond any other maker.
@@vacuumlover1 So? He still didn't invent it.
Nane of the piece that she plays first?
Bulchenska Ratchenitsa by Ivo Papazov-Ibryama
Thanks, I was about to ask the same question. Got to look this tune up.
This instrument sounds so distinctively brilliant! Excellent playing as well!
Thank you for the lovely comment!
It’s an unruly child because the keys in the base are short with little leverage to raise the jacks
It seems to me that it feels very pleasant to the touch, and the tuning is wonderful.
Thank you for your lovely comment. Our musical instrument conservator takes extra care to tune each of the instruments to the historic pitch and temperment.
