I love how your Persian cat is just completely unbothered. She doesn't know how lucky she is to have the privilege of having listened to this wonderful performance live.

Same here

I laughed so hard at the low notes, not because they’re bad but because it sounds so cartoonishly low😭- a cellist

I can't even begin to overstate how damn impressive this is. Seriously this is a work of art and you deserve so much more recognition for this. Good work Kris!!

You have a very dangerous video. it may encourage young composers to entrust such passages to the contrabassoon in their works :D

Interesting: I’ve never seen this particular type of contra before. Rich tone, and well-played!

I can't even begin to imagine how difficult this must be on contra omg

Wow! The tone is absolutely gorgeous!

I thought it was the end of the world in the last trill 😂 Congrats for your great playing!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Ahhh...the page turn...excuse to catch my breath...😊....I can't even begin to imagine filling that with air like that....

Believe it or not. I used to play the contrabass clarinet. which is roughly similar in size. surprisingly it's not terrible in terms of the air needed.

You are so talented! As a flautist, I struggle to make sure I get good breath support to make notes sound good which requires quite a bit of air... But seeing as you can make notes sound so good with an instrument that big is so impressive!👏👏👏

Contra uses less air than you think! Double reeds are unique like that

@@amj.composer Really? That's quite interesting, I thought that since it was so big it would use a ton of air.

Wowzers. I don't know how you manage all those thumb keys. I play flute and have 2! Lovely playing.

"hey hooman... cuddles please- oh dang, you're recording? Aight my bad my bad..."

Interesting timbre, took me a while to like it, but you sold me on the cool virtuosic etudes in this caprice. Great playing.

Love the arrangement. Love the performance. Impressive thumb work. Love the space. Nice room!

Love this! ❤ The bassoon, and saxaphone (I use to play it, myself) have such gorgeous guttural, bellowing sound that I also love hearing in the double bass and bass viola da gamba, tuba and lute-harpsichord.

It is amazing being able to listen to this beautiful performance! As a violinist who has performed this caprice many times, I'm extremely impressed by your phrasing and your technical skills. Keep up the amazing work!!❤

Beautiful work!! Some of the best and effortless-sounding upper register playing I’ve heard on contra!

Thanks Ryan

Simply amazing! What a cute cat :)

Wonderful!

And cute cat to boot 😊😊😊😊

This is last video I expected to get in my feed, but damn, was it good lol. Great playing on the contra!

Love how strange it looks the instrument, like something you'd see in a steampunk world!

Dude somehow this guy manages to make it sound like a double bass on the low notes! That takes some serious dedication and work, nicely done!

I'm lucky enough to come across such a great performance 😊

kitty

beautiful!

I can't believe what I just heard!!! Absolutely amazing!!!

Thank you for recording and sharing this!

Bravo bravissimo A fabulous surprise🎶👏🎵👏

Marvelous!!!

Amazing!

Wow 👏🏻

What the heck did I just listen to? That contrabassoon is a lethal weapon in your hands, sir! As a composer, you basically are taught that the contra is completely incapable of this sort of thing... but here's the counterargument to that! Awesome job!

Amazing atonishing 😂❤😅😊

これはコントラフォルテですね。素晴らしい演奏です。

Is it a low A extended contrabassoon？

@@bassoonkris I love how the Kronwalt low A contra is so compact. I had an old Mollenhauer low A contra on trial about fifteen years ago and the first thing the trombone section said to me was "you didn't BUY that, did you?!" and the case wouldn't fit in the back of my car. As a contra player (I play a Fox) I am amazed by all of the extra keys and I know that I could figure them out eventually but you navigate them with such ease and assurance!

truly amazing, expert handling of a very unique intrument ! mind telling us a little about it?

What a beautiful texture! As a Bassoon player I've always wanted to try playing the Contrabassoon, but our district doesn't have one in our schools :(

thats crazy

😍

God, I’d forgotten how many thumb keys bassoon has…

What type of contrabassoon is that?

Have we just found the ling ling of contrabassoon?

Die Katze ist so nett ❤️💚🧡

This is so impressive cuz I didn’t think you could play that fast on contra

Next video: Dualing Banjos with a contrabassoon-playing friend!

Tuning: 0c: A4 = 440Hz

Is contrabassoon one word or two

the focus of the camera...

I love your take on this, but I am curious: Have you ever listened to a violinist play this? Your interpretation of timing and phrasing is just so different from anything else I’ve heard! As a flutist and violinist I’ve heard many many interpretations so I’m curious! No hate intended I’m just wondering where you drew your inspiration. :)

Sounds so goofy ahah

How much does a Contrabassoon cost? And for one that plays in tune? :-))

Very nice, now play it on a subcontrabassoon
