This is beautiful. I'm a trombone player and this is now my new favorite

[@StCeciliasHall]

So glad you liked the video and the instrument.

[@SerpentDemise]

Thanks! It’s like a mix of saxophone and brass

Thank you for sharing; an interesting demonstration. Thank heavens, like the serpent, this instrument- with its manifest limitations- fell in to obsolescence.

Oh, I just answered my question in the other video. I fear you have your titles mixed up for ophicleide and quinticlave. Thank you for posting them, though! Now, do you happen to have an Eb contrabass ophicleide at the ready? :D

[@jpendleton4331]

This is a Quinticlave but It is still in the Ophicleide fam.
