The Linton (Orsi) contrabass clarinet is a unique and semi-rare instrument which has been the subject of several internet myths. Here I discuss the instrument and debunk some of the misinformation out there.

All the contrabass questions I never knew I had, answered! Thanks!

@AFN2750 9 месяцев назад

Sounds absolutely massive. I didn’t know I wanted one, and now I do. Cannot even approach affording one though.

@Vitamin_D_ Месяц назад

The bore size of the neck and the size of the mouthpiece is absolutely insane!

@joeldiaz222 10 месяцев назад

Really nice video, Jason! The information you share about this instrument is very interesting.

@organist1982 10 месяцев назад

Very cool! I LOVE the resonance of those low notes with that huge bore!

@martinreid1510 10 месяцев назад

Thanks for the video! It satisfies my curiosity around the Linton contras so I don’t need to buy one. I had a chance to purchase one of these about a decade ago but I ended up with my EEb paperclip instead. It sounds like I made the right choice there.

That mouthpiece is HUGE

@balderdash14 6 месяцев назад

I actually rented a room in that mouthpiece a few months back, pretty spacious.

I am a 3 year bass player, hopefully a low-c model soon. I have made all state honor band in 7th hopefully 8th too. I might end up playing subcontra for jazz band, Idk yet. also nice cuts.

Two of the high schools in Huntsville, AL had them in the late ‘60/early ‘70s. I’d always see them at All-State band auditions. I think they were BBb horns. I had a Bundy and used Rico contra reeds. They must have used Vandorens. I’ll reach out to a friend who played in those band and see if I can get more info.

I haven’t had the chance to play one, so I don’t know how they really sound compared to a Leblanc. My biggest concert is the quality of the metal and if it’s too soft. It seems like all the ones that come directly from china get dented in shipping, but the bigger issue is how that affects the keywork. It’s fairly complex and needs to be in regulation to play properly. If the metal is too soft and bends easily it will easily and constantly go out of adjustment

Is this the same Orsi as in “Orsi and Weir” (which the make of my B-flat)?

@JasonAlder 10 месяцев назад

The Weir is John Weir in Toronto right? A quick google search looks like he had some collaboration with Orsi before changing to Taplin-Weir. I don’t know if it’s the same Orsi (Milano) or not, but could be worth asking him?

@timothybonenfant5448 10 месяцев назад

Yes, it’s the same John Weir. I bought my instrument from him before he switched from Orsi to Taplin.

Where did you get linton instrument manual?

@JasonAlder 9 месяцев назад

It’s not a manual, it’s a sales catalogue. Finding them is part of the research

Помню, лет 20-25 назад у ORSI в каталоге был контрабас из палисандра с позолоченными клавишами. Такой Вам не попадался?

@JasonAlder 3 месяца назад

That’s Ripamonti, not Orsi. I have seen it and played it, but it was very badly out of adjustment so I could not get a good assessment of it. They had both BBb and EEb instruments like this. I don’t know how many they ever sold… I only ever saw them at conferences but don’t know anybody that owns one. I have tried asking Flavio but my emails weren’t returned. They don’t appear to make them anymore, but instead sell the Jinbao copy of the Leblanc paperclip branded as a Ripa

@francoisvillon1300 3 месяца назад

@@JasonAlder Thank you!. Yes, that's right. Ripamonti. Do you know if ORSI and Ripa are still in business? BTW, was that Ripa contra down to C or an Eb?

@JasonAlder 3 месяца назад

@@francoisvillon1300 ripa is still in business, but not selling this contra anymore. It went to low C. It was really a beautiful looking instrument. Orsi I am not sure about… I know they still have some factory but I don’t know what they produce anymore
