- Wer in den kommenden Wochen während der "Salome"-Vorstellungen zu den Holzbläsern in den Orchestergraben schaut, bekommt etwas Besonderes zu sehen: Für die Produktion von Richard Strauss´ Oper durfte sich unsere Kollegin Katrin Stüble eingehend mit einem eher unbekannten Instrument der Doppelrohrblattfamilie beschäftigen. Sie spielt für uns das orchestereigene Heckelphon und erklärt das Wichtigste zu diesem heutzutage selten eingesetzten Instrument.

Der Klang dieses Instruments ist sehr schön, angenehm und fesselnd!
I wish they made more hecklephones, Such a beautiful instrument!
Das klingt so wunderschön! ☺️
Such a beautiful ethereal sound ☺
Was für ein wunderschöner Klang, voll in der Tiefe, leicht näselnd in der Höhe.... schade, dass man es so selten hört. Danke für die detaillierte Vorstellung!
Danke für Ihr Lob, das spornt uns an!
Sie spielen so wunderschön! Danke für die Erklärung :)
Beautiful playing... and violet really suits you ))) Thankyou
Keine Ahnung, ob es an Frau Stühle liegt, aber ich finde, dass das Heckelphon viel schöner klingt, als das E-Horn oder den Fagott.
Rough english translation of the video
Note that I'm not a German speaker at all, so the automatic captions and Google Translate have done most of the work. If anyone has any suggestions for how I could better translate certain phrases, please let me know!
(Words like [this?] are ones that have odd translations, probably due to the automatic transcript not hearing the correct german word. Corrections will be very much appreciated)

DESCRIPTION
During our upcoming performances of Salome, anyone looking at the woodwinds of the orchestra pit will see something special: for the production of Richard Strauss' opera, our colleague Katrin Stüble was able to delve in-depth into a rather unknown instrument from the double reed family. She plays the orchestra's own Heckelphone and explains the most important things about this rarely-used instrument.
TRANSCRIPT
My name is Kathrin Stüble. I have been playing 2nd Oboe and English horn here in the Staatsorchester since 2012, and now for the first time I am playing the Heckelphone in Salome
The Heckelphone owes its name to the inventor Wilhelm Heckel. We can see Wilhelm Heckel here on the Heckel company's emblem - they're actually the ones that are also world famous for making Bassoons. The Heckelphone was inspired by Richard Wagner; Wagner came to Mr. Heckel to gave him a [certificate?] about his great Bassoons and Contrabassoons, and said that he was actually missing an instrument in the double-reed family. It should be in the baritone range and should combine the sound of an Oboe with the soft but sonorous sound of an Alphorn
And then Wilhelm Heckel put in a lot of effort, experimenting for 25 years, and in 1904 this instrument was created. He was very proud of his new invention and showed it to the public for the first time in Bayreuth in the Wahnfried villa. And then he started an advertising campaign, travelling all over Germany, including Paris, and demonstrated this Heckelphone to all well-known conductors and players
Richard Strauss not only [mentioned?] the instrument, he also composed for it in his next major opera, Salome. I think his writing is very beautiful. At the back it says that the opera was played for the first time in 1909, under the direction of Max Schillings. Today I had the dramaturgy confirm that it is the same Max Schillings (or Max von Schillings) who also composed the opera Mona Lisa, which premiered in Stuttgart in 1915. His opera begins with an obbligato Heckelphone, and I will now play the beginning for you
What's also interesting is the sound cup down here. You can see it on the English horn, this [advertisement?] down here, that's the so-called "Liebesfuss" of the Oboe d'Amore. With this thing here you probably can't call it a Liebesfuss anymore - it's open here, and there's also a partition like this that you can put on the floor in between. At the bottom there's a metal plate like this and a spike like that you can put on the floor
Wow, great instrument and sound! Many compliments. Thank you!! 🎼❤
Very god informasjon on this instrument,and very nice playd.

Was für ein vielfältig einsetzbares, wunderbares Instrument. Danke für die Bekanntmachung.
Setzen Sie es im Orchester ein. Es bereichert die Musikfarbe. Danke für ihren Mut, es zu spielen.
Zu dem gegen Ende erwähnten Komponisten Max Schillings sollte vielleicht noch angemerkt werden, dass es sich bei ihm um einen aktiven Nationalsozialisten handelte, der ab 1933 - als Präsident der Preußischen Akademie der Künste - aktiv die Entlassung jüdischer und regimekritischer Künstler vorantrieb, vgl: de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Max_von_Schillings
Ja, er war leider das, was Tichon Chrennikow in der Sowjetunion war.
Danke danke Fraulein, wonderbahr !!!!!
The best demo of a Hecklephone I have ever heard. Now if I only had a spare $50,000 USD hanging around. She plays it very nicely. Another instrument I would like but will probably never get.
Geiler Sound. Die Baritonlage ist meines Erachtens eh wunderschön, auch wenn ich diese Lage nur vom Baritonhorn her kenne. Da hat der Heckel aber einen super Job gemacht.
I love your tone on it!
So ein schönes Instrument. Schade, dass es nicht öfter verwendet wurde.
Wahnsinnig sympathisch.
Beautiful music. Greets from Schweden
Was für ein wunderschöner, weicher Klang, auch ganz wunderbar gespielt! Hat mich aber eher an die höheren Lagen eiens Fagott erinnert, nicht an eine Mischung aus Oboe und Alphorn...
Excellent ! now we can admire the instrument as it is played. Danke. Mona Lisa is one of my cult operas.
Katrin please get some solo recordings on Spotify! Or itunes! Something. I'd love to hear these solo recordings right here. But without the interviews. What a beautiful instrument.
Beautiful. rToo bad this instrument isn't written for more. Though I believe it is used in R. Strauss's Elektra.
Thank you. Yes, that´s correct, Strauss used this instrument in many of his works, Elektra among them. If you are interested: We have many more movies about musicians and their instruments on our RUclips-Channel ruclips.net/user/staatsorchesterstuttgart
Salome
Love this instruments, I wrote a movement for orchestra in which I wanted to implement this instrument as the main soloist but it's just so rare; it wouldn't be practical
Please do! We need more literature for this instrument! ;-)
Please write it! It may encourage more people to take up (and manufacture?? What's the deal with the patent??) the instrument.
seeeeeeeeeeeehr interessante!!!
love you!!!
very unique tone. liking a lot
This lady sounds excellent on a frequently awkward instrument - like a sort of giant English Horn. Her tone and pitch are dead-on, and not everyone's is. I wonder whether she actually owns it (few people do, they cost as much as a big car or a small house), or the orchestra she plays in does, and someone said, "Here. Take this and practice it. We don't usually need it, but when we do, we need somebody who sounds good on it."
Kevin, this is Robert. It looks more recent than that, it has the rollers, the bell septum and an automatic octave mechanism.
Note that she quotes Max Schilling's Mona Lisa, this was played in Carnegie by the American Symphony last February, Harry Searing used my HP for the show.
You possess a Heckelphon personally? Magnificent!!!
Are fingerings on the heckelphone similar to the oboe?
almost exactly the same
I never the heckelphon came in grenadilla/black finish.
I've seen quite a few heckelphons, but never have I seen one in black. At first I thought she was playing a bass oboe.
Traumhaft schön! Ich hätte mir nie vorstellen können, dass das Heckelphon einen so vollen, runden, geschmeidigen Klang haben würde. Und die Erklärung von Frau Stüble ist sehr detailliert. Weiss jemand, ob das Heckelphon mit einem normalen oder mit einem speziell dafür geschnittenen Rohr gespielt werden kann?
Total schöne Serie. Vielen Dank!
Da der Klang ja unten herauskommt, muss es doch einen Unterschied machen, ob man auf Parkett, PVC oder Teppich spielt. Oder?
Bei Holzblasinstrumenten kommt der Klang hauptsächlich aus den nicht zugeklappten Tonlöchern heraus. Das heisst, nur die tiefsten Töne werden aus dem Liebesfuß ausgegeben. Bei denen hört man ja den Einfluss des Bodenmaterials, was im Video 4:34 erkennbar ist.
Is the Heckelphone being used in this video a newly built instrument?
Ausgezeichnet! Vielen Dank...ich hab' alles genoßen!
Fabulous !!! Nice to see the Heckelphone finally get a descriptive video on it's own ! BTW which serial # is this instrument !? Thanks for posting this !!!
Interesting demonstration (and adorable Heckelphonist !), but why is this instrument painted black ? It looks so much better in the cherry stain that Heckel uses on its bassoons and contrabassoons.
Thank you. The Heckelphon is a member of the oboe familiy. Therefore it makes perfect sense to have it in a black finish according to the colour of the oboes. But clearly, it is a matter of taste... ;-)
The Heckelphone is not technically an oboe. The bassoon might be, but you wouldn't paint it black would you ?
Sorry Mr. Houston, but the Heckelphon belongs to the family of oboes, at least according to this: de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heckelphon
and this: www.heckel.de/de/prod-heckelphon.htm
In our orchestra it is played by an oboe player and sits in the oboe section. It might be unusual to paint it black, but we have seen this in a lot of german orchestras...
In his book The Oboe Philip Bate devotes a small chapter to the Heckelphone - "...the heckelphone is allied acoustically to the oboe, and indeed is often called an oboe, even by its makers. It is, however, better considered as an instrument "sui generis", for the following reasons. The bore of the heckelphone is of porportions vastly different from those generally adhered to throughout the normal oboe group, and its origin and developement were entirely independent. It was in fact designed from the beginning to meet a specific orchestral requirement, and owes little or nothing to pre-existing types. "
The bassoon is not an oboe even if it has a double reed. The heckelphone is essentially in the oboe family. It even looks more like an oboe than the bassoon does.
Sec as I switch on the subtitles.
