Who won the Biggest Range Challenge? 

Let's see tuba and French Horn! They have the greatest ranges of the brass family.

The pianist: I’m about to ruin this whole man’s career

Dear Christ, the trombonist threatening stare 😂

Lol love the effortless win

That clarinet tho 😮 And I thought an altissimo A was high that’s impressive wow

The bass and Contrabass clarinets have 5 octaves. Also the Bassoon is another one for the woodwind family with the largest range.

Everyone almost passing out playing their instruments: 😰 Percussionists with their instruments: 😃 But seriously tho, all instruments are awesome, and have their own unique properties and sounds

Sun Tzu once said “Never mess with a trombone, they will mess you up.”

the clarinetist playing both notes super short is exactly what I expected lol

the clarinetist's expression is funny

put a french horn player in there, holy shit you got yourself a high note

The struggle on the high note on trombone I feel that 😭

Trombone hitting that high high c is crazy

Despite being military personnel, they still radiate band kid energy😂

Piano enters the chat

laughter till tears, keep it coming! Bless and keep all of you safe and joyful 💖😊

Thank you so much!!! You saved my day! Please come back soon with an other instrument challenge. There are so many days to save.

You can’t just play a double C like that on trumpet. It’s not fair to the rest of us. At least make it LOOK like you’re trying.

as a drummer who occasionally plays marimba, this video makes me happy

To be honest, the trumpet had the highest range with clear notes, and I wont count the marimba as it's a percussion instrument, and not a wind instrument, unlike all the other instruments shown in the video.

Yay! Percussion!

Euphonium and French Horn: "amateurs. At least our extremes are *usable.* Tsk."

Thank you for your services

Band geeks are always band geeks, even in the army! Semper Fi Edit: small note, most liked comment of mine on RU-vid. Sincerely - crayon eater

The marimba was effortless. HOOWAH!!!

Piano - 7 OCTAVES 🍷🗿

fun fact the trumpet dosent actually have a highest note its just the highest ever recorded

The highest note on the trumpet sounded like a child screaming 🤣

Percussion goes crazy

Trumpet technically has an infinite number of harmonics so it depends on you

Marimba ftw 🤘🤘🤘

THANK YOU SO MUCH

Im dead from the EEEKK that cane from the clarinet, I didn't even know that was a note😅I've made it before on Accident by squeaking🤣

Looking and sounding great! Love you Guys and Gals!!

The clarinetist’s facial expressions are amazing😂 You guys should do one with the flutes! Subcontrabass flute, Contrabass flute, Bass flute, alto flute, flute, piccolo, etc. If you have them, of course.

i felt the oboe pain 😭

Yo, my high school got a five octave marimba over the summer

Hearing a trumpet play a note that can be comfortably played on tuba is surreal

Marimba. That's not fair!

the clarinet, short and sweet 😂

I would rock you with my harmonica within the Violoncello range

I love the trombone player's reaction after he plays lol. So cute

percussion for the win 😎

try the saxopones. they have their lowest note in the bass clef's middle or low range (except for soprano) to whatever note you're feeling like!

The lowest note I've played on bassoon is I think Eb1 (using multiphonic fingerings) and the highest is C6 (4 octaves + major6th) so I think I matched or exceeded the trombone dude's range. In real life though, my usable range is Bb1 - F5. So 22va (3 octaves) + P5. The real winner of the challenge (aside from the piano, obviously) would probably be the double bass because they can go basically infinitely high with string harmonics (although it gets quieter the higher they go)

A+ to all.

love how oboe acted so happy about it like she wasn't 2 octaves away from being second to worst

The Percussion will always win, no doubt about it.

The marimba ate and left no crumbs

Drumkit: why are we here just to suffer

The clarinet was my favorite

Percussion FTW

That Trombone was enjoying that last note.

I literally have that exact piano

3rd one is me every morning after coffee

Meanwhile me with organ- Kid hold me beer!

Percussion FTW!!!!

Percussion for the win

Where’s the tuba?!?!? We all know he has the best range 😎

trombone could go lower to a pedal C or B, but it's hard to play with a clear tone, insane that he went that high tho

That marimba has 5 octaves! So many solos that I want to play require a 5 octave marimba so I have to email the composers and ask them if they have the solo in a 4 and a 3rd octave marimba😭

As a trombone player, my record is six octaves. from the Sub pedal Bb to the Bb6 or idk the Bb above the high Bb

I have a 5 octave range on bass clarinet :)

On double bass I can go about E1 to G6 without a lower extension piece

My range My lowest note: F1 My highest note: E5 3 7/8 octaves

French horn would crush this so hard

Pipe organ: hold my beer

As a trumpet player I am impressed

Organist like you could handle a fraction of my power

Last one was obviously the most impressive

You can whistle on the oboe aswell

Man that stare got me. Right into my soul🤣

I play the clarinet

The clarinetist was so silly looking (affectionate)

The organist and French horn is going crazy right now I also play the French horn soooo

+ altissimo I think baritone sax could (maybe) take it

How high can you play? Trumpets: yes

Finally, a competition the French horn could win!

Bari sax here, junior in HS. I’ve got almost 3 octaves down, so that’s pretty cool I guess

The clarinet more like a drama 😂

Percussion always win!!

percussion always wins

pianist laughing menacingly:

Percussion is always superior

This is coming from a bass trombone it is very impressive to play that low as a tenor

as a percussionist myself I thoroughly enjoy inviting my non-percussionist friends to watch me play five octaves of a b-flat scale on the marimba

Before we changed the instrument family, trombone was the clear winner! 😂

I cant believe they did do saxophone with altissimo. But then again its for the safety of our eardrums.

The 108 Key Piano is 9 Octaves so that's the largest range.

Bari w/ altisimo would be fun to see

The flutes and piccolos: *try us, we dare you.*

Percussion always!😂

The marimba player can do that for hours! 😀 How’s everyone else’s chops?

pianist: *you mortal fools are powerless*

Don't forget about an instrument called Euphonium (can play as low as a tuba/sousa and as high as an alto trombone)

Only at the percussion section.

The trombone actually overshot that note- it’s hard note but it’s not that high-also it’s in the wrong position 💀😭😭😭

The trombone guy scared me! 😂

Welcome to percussion. We don’t give ourselves heart attacks about octaves

I Play clarinet and I didn’t know we could go that high! I’ve only went the lowest one not the highest so this surprises me :>
