Awesome!

[@LeonoraBassisty104]

Great instrument presentation and I love the fact that you show Gilbert&Sullivan music as exemple!

[@linkyblade703]

Respect

[@yugandali]

Mentioning your teacher's name would have been a nice tribute.

[@BCSchmerker]

+OrchestraEnlighten *Thanks for the briefing.* The _Flauto piccolo_ emulated the range for the fife.

Unfortunate the bit at the end is only in the left channel.

I have a Db Rudall, I can't make it sound as good as you 🥲

[@bigsarge2085]

👍👍

[@ab-zg8pt]

It was converted to a closed G# ... what a shame.

[@qwaqwa1960]

Shouldn't you be playing at that higher pitch then. Whither authenticity...?

[@TurboBinch]

Well, pitches were all over the place, at that time, so getting wind instruments that are all at a London pitch might be problematic
