Live Subcontrabassoon Low E (20.6 Hz) with

from the preconcert talk before our January 7th, 2023 concert which featured the orchestral premiere of the subcontrabassoon (covering the 2nd contrabassoon part on Gorecki's Third Symphony, one octave lower than written).

Repent and trust in Jesus. He's the only way to Heaven. We've all sinned and deserve Hell. Sins like lying, lusting, etc. Repent and trust only in Jesus, and you will be saved! You can be saved because he took the punishment for our sins on himself when he died on the cross, just like someone can pay your speeding fine in court, and you get off free.

Given how the later low E sounds, together with the double bass's low E, we now know that if the first note was meant to be E, it was out of tune.

[@Subcontrabassoon]

The low range of the instrument does indeed tend to be flat. But it's not just the world's first prototype subcontrabassoon, but the first subcontrabass double-reed instrument in general. Given that, I'm actually very pleased the intonation. The closer the 1st prototype was, the easier the 2nd prototype was to design.

[@HeatMiserr]

@@Subcontrabassoon doesn’t need to be perfectly in tune, note that low supposed to be tense anyway, sounds fucking incredible, coolest thing I seen in a while, would be so sick to see in an orchestra. Amazing work

[@mattmilford8106]

I've read about organs built with 64' pitch pipes that use the same pipe for more than one note because once you get down that low the exact pitch doesn't matter as much. A pipe of 10 hz and one of 11 hz will be very different lengths, but still only beat at 1 hz against each other. That would be considered pretty close tuning in higher ranges.

[@JoEbY-X]

@@Subcontrabassoon I don't think she meant the E sounded flat, I think she hears what I do: An undertone from the rattling of the instrument that sounds like the C below the intended E. Only at the end of the note as it fades away do I hear the E emerge. As a pianist, I'm only familiar with overtones, but a quick glance at Wikipedia on undertones indeed says they can be physically produced by "overblowing a wind instrument."

Traveling with a subcontrabassoon must suck. Aside from the bulk, every customs official is like, "We have to examine your luggage because we're a bit alarmed by whatever the hell is in there and we have to make sure it's not a surface-to-air missile system."

Repent and trust in Jesus. He's the only way. We deserve Hell because we've sinned. Lied, lusted stolen, etc. But God sent his son to die on the cross and rise out of the grave. We can receive forgiveness from Jesus. Repent and put your trust in him.

[@Subcontrabassoon]

I'm not even remotely religious, but I love the implication that you actually listened to my instrument and your first thought was that "we all deserve hell". Of course it's just lazy spam, so I'm afraid I can't bestow it the heart that I truly want to.
