Massive octocontra-alto clarinet video, plays down to Eb0 19Hz

[ixlramp]

Slightly off topic but of interest to subcontrabassists. The very rare octocontra-alto clarinet has recently been recorded for the first time.

Unfortunately there are no sound clips of the larger octocontrabass clarinet (centre and below right) That plays down to Bb0 15 Hz.

There's something about large lengths of folded tubes of brass that I love. That sounds awesome.

Apologies for posting this thread in the bass guitar forum and for it having to be moved ... at the time i thought it would be of primary interest to bassists

More videos of this instrument at their channel: Ocarinettor's Channel - YouTube

Holy cock, that was low.

You know it's low when you can tap your fingers as fast as the frequency of the sound waves
