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.
Fork fingerings, this recorder player feels right at home! Would love to have one!
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.
Thanks :)
1st comment! I also came at 333 views! How kool!
The clarinet is kind of a downgrade, at least tone-wise. Not sure about range and such; I don't play either instrument.
Sorry but to me sounds exacly like a Clarinet.
That is because it is a member of the clarinet family!
@@StCeciliasHall : So, what's the difference???
@@Android_Warrior The basset horn is a lower member of the clarinet family. It was most likely created in the 1760s, when there was a lot of experimentation in sizes and 'voices' of clarinets. This could be considered to be very similar to today's alto clarinet but with a darker sound. Basset horns are still made today by modern makers so players can play the music that was composed for the instrument by composers such as Mozart.
