    For some reason that Dance of the Sugarplum Fairy duet at 1:00 was hysterical. Probably because of the juxtaposition of a teeny instrument with high pitched doots and a large instrument with deep heavy doots. Though the Piccolo Trumpet had to be my favorite, maybe just because of how amazingly it was played, but I love the sound. I feel like I've heard both it and the Piccolo Trombone, and just didn't recognize either of them for what they were.

    The piccolo flute is very very common. As is the piccolo trumpet. The piccolo is playing probably a Rossini overture, and the trumpet (used a lot during the baroque, although not with these mechanics) is playing from Haendel The Messiah. So it couldn’t be strange, that piece is played many times every year all over the world.

    There was a jazz musician Adrian Rollini who played some unusual instruments, especially bass sax. He was active from the 1920s through the 1940s. In addition to bass sax, he played a type of tiny clarinet he called a "hot fountain pen," and a multiple-reed instrument called a "goofus." In the late 1930s he switched to vibes, becoming one of the first musicians to specialize in that instrument.

    • @andrewbarrett1537
      @andrewbarrett1537 2 ปีที่แล้ว +35

      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.
