Sorry for my ignorance. What Ravel was that, the piano concerto for the left hand? I play a Fox contra; I’m impressed and pleased with Howard’s sound on the Buffet.
Nice to see someone giving Ravel a shout-out. I don't remember the story, but I think it goes that a ww1 soldier lost his right hand during the war, which sucked because he was a concert pianist. He commissioned Ravel to write him musical pieces that were solely for the left hand.
It was Paul Wittgenstein. To the best of my knowledge, he only commissioned one piece from Ravel, but did commission many other pieces from other composers.
I’m so ignorant. I didn’t even know what a contrabassoon was, but after hearing it, I am sure I have heard it before. It’s a beautiful instrument. Isn’t it amazing how many instruments there are in the world. Whenever I meet a musician, I am always curious to learn why of all the instruments in the world, why did they choose that one? It’s fascinating. Sometimes they join the school band and there’s no tuba player and they become one. Anyway I want to learn more about this instrument now.
I think I may prefer it's timbre other the classic bassoon. Which could be my novelty bias, since the instruments don't seem to be different enough to produce noticeably distinct timbres*. *Color of sound (not pitch alone)
This contrabassoon has some good sound. But what helps make the sound is the person who's playing it. And it matters how the person plays it, and he did good being able to make the notes sound nice.
Bubinga is often called "West African Rosewood", and is incredibly beautiful and a joy to work with! I am currently working on a jewelry box from heavy figured Waterfall Bubinga and Curly Oak. Gorgeous!
Adams family and a ship Horn met on one foggy and Erie night... AIN'T IT JUST AIN'T IT 😎 lols.....no seriously it's awesome,, I could see it's roll in a Orchestra... thanks.... New one for me.
Just tried out the Ravel LH concerto yesterday and today I get this in my recommendations! What a beautiful instrument. Going to think of this every time I listen now.
At the first moment I saw it I thought "oh dang... it's beautiful..." I mean, look at that dark brass bell, look at its soft coloured wood, look at the keys that melt in so perfectly in the instrument... I swear I'm loving this more for its look than its sound
For anyone curious what he means by the french sound, the french bassoon is known for it's "buzzier" and warmer sound, especially in comparison to the much more common german bassoon. This french contrabassoon similarly sounds different to the german contrabassoon
I had never realised that there were different types of contrabassoons. My friend played bassoon in high school, and in about year 10 started with the contrabassoon. Hers was obviously the german-style one. But wow, had I forgotten just how those bass notes could hit you in your bones!
Curiously, it doesn’t sound as different as I expected (different from a Heckel system, that is). Different, certainly, but I expected an even-bigger difference.
perfect "villain sneaking around in the shadows" music
Ravel piano concerto for the left hand
@@harvc741 I also love his other piano concerto. All movements are a masterpiece.
I really love his Concerto for the Left Hand precisely because of its dark character all over the work.
Bass clarinet is also used in such parts
I don't know about "villain" necessarily, but definitely gives walking around in the dark / at night vibes
Ah, finally, an authentic french sound
ah yeah, enjoying this whilst eating a croissaint with jam and french pressed coffee, with my girl friend who has a french manicure eating french toast.

As a french person, I can confirm we're always using these sounds to speak. That and musette too.
@@ericolens3 fun fact : croissant are from Austria, not from France
Pardon my french
I've been to France, can confirm that the French sound like this
Only the old men
Yes
(traduction in french: "brjfkslamfkjf")
HAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA😂
I don’t get it
as a resident of the United Kingdom (that actually beat the French in Agincourt, by the way), I can confirm that the French sound like this.
As a Frenchman myself i can confirm it's an authentic french sound
I can tell you are authentic by your spelling mistake!
Like a long fart..
As a guy who took French lessons in the 8th grade and eat french fries I confirm!!
@@feraudyh All Frenchmen are not good spellers, ask me how I know? I took French lessons in the 8th grade and I still eat french fries to this day,
So there,,,,
@@feraudyh there is no spelling mistake!
I can really hear that brightness in the tone.
It’s gives me a 1920’s vibe as you walk around the slums of France with people shivering in the cold next to little camp fires trying to get warm!
Authentic french sound. Proceeds to create eerie frog sounds...
What else to expect from something called ✨Contrabassoon✨
LOL
You are what you eat
@@mriganksutariya3256I expect much more, much more okay!
Bro, that is cheap! (and very funny)
Bassoon: “Oh, you want steampunk? I’ve got your steampunk!”
i agree, coming from a steampunk enthusiast.
Ah yes, that sounds authentically French
I don't know... It didn't say "merde" 🤔
I didn't know my tummy had an "authentic French sound!"
That instrument is beautiful I can’t take my eyes off of it.
Those low notes are fantastic 🎼
Such a lovely rich tone.
"it has the authentic French sound"
*Immediately plays solitude in e minor*
*SNOOOOOOOOORE
No, it's Ravel Left Hand Piano Concerto

YEAH E MINOR!!!!
I much prefer this style of contrabassoon than any other. Its the only contrabassoon I’ve heard that has a clear tone without being muddy and grumbly
The contrabassoon is a very underrated instrument.
Edit: Is this my most liked comment?
ye
The price deters many from using it
@Sbeve At that point, we could just get a 3d printer and the materials for half the price lol
Bro 600 likes is not alot
@@Justin14379 it's alot bro, I've never had more than 5 likes :( :( :(
Tougher and dense and thinner are fairly accurate for most French that I have met, while traveling abroad…and who doesn’t love that sound!
Will there be a full video on this? What a beautiful instrument
Hi Liam, thanks for the comment. There's more on my personal channel, including this video... th-cam.com/video/CAWkArhGVtA/w-d-xo.html
How does one ever come up with such a design?!? Incredible
I can literally feel the vibrations from my phone as he plays it. Amazing.
Wonderful bass, beautiful, deep and full sound!
Now THAT'S a bassoon!
Regularly heard at Walkabout Creek Pub.
As soon as I saw the instrument, I immediately heard the exact excerpt of Ravel that you ended up playing. That was deeply satisfying.
Sorry for my ignorance. What Ravel was that, the piano concerto for the left hand? I play a Fox contra; I’m impressed and pleased with Howard’s sound on the Buffet.
@@charlieshoemaker4327 Piano Concerto for the Left Hand, indeed!
Thanks. I have it in an excerpt book; I’ll dig it out soon and learn it. I’ve played the other piano concerto(G Major), but not this one.
@@charlieshoemaker4327 Both Ravel Concerti have absolutely amazing Bassoon parts :)
I could literally listen to that all day long 😁💜. What an amazing instrument.
I love the automatic captions for this. While he's playing, the [Music] is interspersed with a random [Laughter].
Honestly they sound so cool. I play bassoon and I hope one day I get the opportunity to play a contra
I love the sound! BASS is king.🤴
**brrr buhh ummm ruihmmm**
Ah yes, the authentic French sound 👌
🤤😂😂😂😂
Oui oui, 🤌🥖
That's a fu*king beautiful instrument! Very steampunk. And, as a drummer, I love how the Bubinga sound. I want to buy it just to have it lol

@@laurencefinston7036 In case anyone's wondering: yes, he was Ludwig's brother.
Awesome 👏 🎷 instrument
Wow. Very impressive and very educational
RS. Canada
Perfect drum and bass thing
'Slightly different to the contrabassoon you would normally see.' Now thats a sentence
Oh my God ..Lung full of Breath Required to play ..Superb n. Unique ..Great instrument.
Thank you! The sound is unforgettable! ❤
Another banger from Buffet Crampon. The man don't miss.

First time I've heard a contrababoon... amazing!
OH MAN!! ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL, as a former bass baritone clarinetist i can appreciate its sound and Beauty
It sounds gorgeous.
I think I may prefer it's timbre other the classic bassoon.
Which could be my novelty bias, since the instruments don't seem to be different enough to produce noticeably distinct timbres*.
*Color of sound (not pitch alone)
I play Bassoon Contrabassoon and Sub Contrabassoon now i want to play this
You play sub contra? Are you Richard Bobo?
Imagine having an apartment neighbour, who is a professional contra-bassoon player practicing 8 hours a day 😂
This contrabassoon has some good sound. But what helps make the sound is the person who's playing it. And it matters how the person plays it, and he did good being able to make the notes sound nice.
“Buffet crampon” sounds like a fancy mountaineering shoe store
That is one of the world's top woodwind houses.
Sounds really smooth. I like it!
Please, we need this beauty back!
That contra surely is a beauty and sounds amazing too
Bubinga is often called "West African Rosewood", and is incredibly beautiful and a joy to work with! I am currently working on a jewelry box from heavy figured Waterfall Bubinga and Curly Oak. Gorgeous!
Incrivelmente baixo. Que ronco! E as notas altas soam lindamente. Que belo instrumento.
Vc toca fagote?
Super sound and very atmospheric!
This is deep. Really, really deep.
Buffet Contra says: you may have your ideas, but I'm in charge now! More vibrato!!! Great range of comments, and well done, Howard.
Luv the unique tone. Wonderful!😃
Beautiful looking and sounding.
Love! Dark and beautiful.
Such a beautiful instrument!
I love that deep rich hum. I’m surprised indie bands are all over this yet.
Beatiful
Thanks Dr James Gill
Finally! An interesting short video. Thank you!
heard the words “this is a French contrabassoon” and immediately tapped the like button
When you hear someone make a sound like this, always make sure to ask if they happen to be French.
Omg its so cool ❤️
ohhh this is gorgeous! I'd love to have one, I always loved playing the contra and this one sounds beautiful
Very beautiful sound!!!
Was just about ready to skip the video, but I surprisingly really liked the sound of this instrument. It's something I'd like to hear more of.
i never have seen one of this. amazing. more videos please!
Buffet Crampon is killing it as always.
Adams family and a ship Horn met on one foggy and Erie night... AIN'T IT JUST AIN'T IT 😎 lols.....no seriously it's awesome,, I could see it's roll in a Orchestra... thanks.... New one for me.
thanks for the piece. the best melody for a contrabass in times
I love the design of the contrabassoon, it’s pretty
Just tried out the Ravel LH concerto yesterday and today I get this in my recommendations! What a beautiful instrument. Going to think of this every time I listen now.
What an extrordinary instrument
I love the tone. Cool instrument
Wow this is amaaazing!!! Love that colou😍
Thanks for the intro of the left hand concerto :)
At the first moment I saw it I thought "oh dang... it's beautiful..."
I mean, look at that dark brass bell, look at its soft coloured wood, look at the keys that melt in so perfectly in the instrument... I swear I'm loving this more for its look than its sound
I like seeing how there are more and more cables as the video goes on

Beautiful sound!
Funny how I recognized the piece from the first two notes 😅
U would have been PERFECT on "Name That Tune!"
Introduction to the Ravel sets the sonorous tone for the entire piece!
I bet those bass notes feel so good to play
Wow, what a sound!
What a great sound. Reminds me off Peter and the Wolf.
Brilliant sound!
Me: I wonder what the "authentic french sound" is 🤔
You: 🎶HONK🎶
Me: Hon hon hon, tres bien, Monsieur 🥖🇫🇷
That is a beautiful instrument...
What a marvellous sound ! (Here Ravel). Bravo !
It’s amazing how different it sounds to a standard contrabassoon
What a beast
Amazing!
I need one! I couldn't play it but I want it!
Curiously, it doesn’t sound as different as I expected (different from a Heckel system, that is). Different, certainly, but I expected an even-bigger difference.
Sounds amazing
Fascinate sonido..!!!
