Lol

Also crap my name is Carl i hope nobody plays me

Freddy Fuzbear No worries, I rather play the bassoon than you

There's only ONE in the WORLD.

I'd end up being the guy that has to hold it up

Normal piccolo clarinet is in E♭ (a fourth higher than the standard B♭), but that is I think the very highest one, in A♭ -- another fourth higher.

Yeah i can’t imagine playing a piccolo clarienet with how small it is

I would say the piccolo french horn is funnier

​@@gyrostabilizergracenpiccolo trombone.

@@flickcentergaming680 brass slide whistle

ME TOO!

It's in my non-orchestra band lol, it really isn't uncommon

right

Yeah! If you ask a school if you can rent a piccolo they let you. I play piccolo as a second instrument other than flute and it’s totally normal

My band literally marches piccolo

That is genius

They are voicings. Originally meant to describe what kind of vocal range a singer has. Here are all of the voicings from highest to lowest: piccolo, sopranino, soprano, alto, tenor, baritone, bass, contrabass, and subcontrabass.

@@jessecohen4517 yeah, so, piccolo in front mean small, contrabass in front mean big

@@gwgwgwgwgwgwgwgwgw pretty much

And we know that subcontrabrass is massive af

Congratulations, you are now a classically trained musician.

i play bari sax rn and im going into highschool next year so if they have a bass saxophone which is unlikely im def playing it

@ReBoT Productions Most high schools don't but the Thomann TBB-150 is only $2999

Dangg never got this much likes before

It can even make a sound similar to the string bass!

"Which it is now"

“Nah, let’s make a smaller one”

bruh moment bruh your gay

Like double bass

*hits blunt*

Contrabass trombone is just a tuba but with a slide

Those wouldn't work as the overtone series is not so nice to low harmony

_on it._

The whole entire concert hall would start shaking

Andrew J an easier tuba :D

Agreed, and the contrabass alone costs atleast like 9 grand, so I mean props to him for having that money in the first place lol

I have sleep paralysis too... (I think)

I like to imagine that the low notes are coming from the piccolo clarinet and vice versa

Does anyone know what the melody is called which the clarinet is playing?

Bass bass

Super soprano piccolo?

Subcontrabass Piccolo

piccolo flute is the "piccolo piccolo"

So does piccolo piccolo piccolo piccolo piccolo = dog whistle?

That is me favorite instrUment

No no fART

Your comment wins the internets

Saw one used in a Moonhooch show right over my head. It was an unreal sound like a bass synth.

Its just a funny Euphonium or marching Euphonium

@@cadenbarnfather1434 nope that’s a completely different instrument

@@q12aw50 it is, but in terms of pitch, key, and general sound, they are very similar

@@cadenbarnfather1434 soprano trombone=trumpet Soprano sax=clarinet Is that what you’re saying?

@@q12aw50 you miss one key difference, the instruments you mention are different in several fundemental ways, while the difference between the bass trumpet and the marching euphonium is as simple as the difference between euphonium and baritone

@@efmusic04 The joke just went over your head

@@efmusic04 When things don't work it can be for two main reasons: 1: They don't work 2: You just don't see that they work

@@wkslicex2508 I think the reason is number one.

Amen to that

Wow.... that's acually quite accurate

That's ironic, because the fog horn is actually a form of diaphone pipe or "valvular reed" organ pipe. Instead of a beating reed against a shallot (the way most pipe organ 'reed pipes' work; sort of like an all-metal equivalent of a clarinet or saxophone mouthpiece, enclosed in a chamber called a "boot" with a tuning wire adjusting the length of the reed and instead of a person's tongue on it), the diaphone has a VALVE on a spring which is adjusted to oscillate the correct frequency, setting up the air column vibrating within the pipe / resonator itself. The diaphone was invented/developed by Robert Hope-Jones in England, who is considered the father of the theatre pipe organ, although his earliest organs were meant for churches etc. He pioneered high-pressure pipework, electrical unification, consoles with stoptabs rather than stopknobs, and other innovations in organbuilding, some which really caught on with both newer church and theatre organs, others of which remain mainly the domain of the theatre pipe organ. The diaphone pipes were/are intended to give a bass end to the diapason as an alternative to the large scale actual diapason pipes that would otherwise be used for the 8', 16' and 32' octaves. I am not so sure that a diaphone can be made to play on low pressure wind like typically used for most conventional church organs, so I think they are typically found on higher pressure instruments (like 10" and up). Wurlitzer (who took over Hope-Jones' organ company in 1910, and with whom Hope-Jones was associated until his untimely death in 1914) built diaphone pipes as the 16' and 32' octaves of the diapason in most of their pipe organs, and other builders also built them (such as Robert-Morton and Marr & Colton), in addition to other organbuilders (Barton, Smith, etc) ordering them from pipe makers (like Pierce/Dennison; Gottfried etc). Diaphone pipes, when well made and well voiced, can actually have a really nice tone, but especially in the lower register, they literally are tuned fog horns. The largest organ pipes in the world, the 64" Dulzian, built by the Midmer-Losh Organ Co. as part of the largest pipe organ in the world (at Atlantic City Convention Hall, Atlantic City, NJ) are actually built as diaphone pipes and have a beating valve inside the boot at the bottom part of each pipe.

@@andrewbarrett1537 This is way more information than I can process at once, but thanks for giving me a jumping off point to start learning!

Yeah, piccolo is really common. Sopranino clarinet is also pretty common

@@schnonk if you mean E-flat clarinet, then yeah it's pretty common.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the soprano saxophone also pretty common.

@@waltoncummins719 It showed a sopranino sax. They aren’t that rare, but they also aren’t as common as the main four saxophones (soprano, alto, tenor, baritone).

@@schnonk I'm a little rusty on my saxophones, my band has 1 alto sax and no others. Also, what's the difference between a soprano a sopranino saxophone?

I got to hear one in person this week and I learned there is a double subcontrabass flute. And only four exist in the whole world

@@oceanbread9720 I wonder why it didn't catch on.

@@GomerfromIsaan probably because it’s hard to make, expensive, hard to play, and just absolutely terrifying to hear in person

@OceanBread woah

@GomerfromIsaan it’s satan’s flute that’s why

more tubing= lower sound

@@blossom5097Comparatively to sub sub woofers, you don’t see a lot of explosions in contemporary music.

Oh yeah just saying but the clarinet family has one of a kind octocontrabass and octocontraalto clarinets that are now forever in a museum

have you seen an octobass. it's ludicrously large, and can reach above a full octave below double bass en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octobass

I play bari sax :D

chUwUbs same

No joke, I played contrabass clarinet in 8th grade, and because there was no contra part, I played the Bari sax part.

@Nickola120 YT did you just say the contrabass clarinet was *comparable* to the bari sax?

I have a concert this month and in some songs i play the bass clarinet but in other songs i play the bari sax

There're some others types in between those. It goes like this: SubContraBass > ContraBass > Bass > Baritono > Tenor > Soprano > Piccolo. This is right as far as I'm aware.

@@willjones6234 not sure if it goes before or after soprano

@Galactinova one time at bandcamp

Ikr

They sound much better irl :)

It might be the maker, not to sure on that on aswell

Exactly.

I'm sure it has to do with it being a piccolo flute, not just a piccolo. There may be some kind of difference between the two

No, the terms "piccolo flute" and "piccolo" actually refer to the same instrument.

or a famous albeit useless cannon from the civil war

It also sounds like a jack hammer

Adriana Nino Artigas yeah no joke that bass flute was a unique sound. That piccolo trumpet can make amazing solos

Guess we won't see these in rock bands anytime soon

Also if you kinda defocus it sounds a little like a string instrument, absolutely wild

@Peter Griffin same

raynbow sprinkles, it’s actually called the titanic tube but it has a human name

Peter

yea most piccolos sound so nice because it doesnt have much tubing so the air just goes straight through. thats why most piccolos sound super good

but at the same time. piccolos are stupidly hard to play.

It’s so cute too

Yeah, but, as a flute player i have to say that piccolos require more air to effectively play a note
