There's more to music than what you can hear. There's something to be said for the inaudible impact that an instrument has on the body. If you've ever gone to an orchestral performance in person, there is just a certain something of a physical impact that the instruments have upon the body that don't exist in replayed recordings. Even if it's the same music and the same notes and they may have the same emotional effect, but the notes just feel hollow without that physical presence. I believe that the intention behind the octobase wasn't to create a nice sound, but rather to have a resonation chamber so large that it can effectively project its presence across a large space.

You can still feel 16hz. You can feel down to 10 hz in your bones.
Sadly, he never got around to his true masterpiece, the Hexdecobasse. It stood 3 stories tall and required four to play it, two on the bow, and two working from the fret bridge, an actual bridge in front of the neck of the instrument. I hear there was even a song written to feature it called "The Coming Earthquake."

Nathan Benitez strings on regular double basses can snap and they do. They have been known to take out the eyes of players in the past.
As an oktavist that knows how to sing subharmonics I never thought I'd find an instrument I could harmonize with. What a fun in idea, if only it worked out, imagine the madness that could be heard.
It is absolutely beautiful! Thank you for showing this. When I was little, I dreamed about this sound, and I could never find it! This is it! Only took me 55 years to find it, thanks to you!❤️❤️❤️

Exactly my kind of instrument ❤ Because the lowest note is beyond human hearing, you just hear the overtones - fascinating 😎 And you can hear the strings actually vibrating, because they vibrate slowly enough to hear (and even see) the vibrations 🎉

Whilst human tonal perception ceases around 20Hz we can still perceive single cycles below 10Hz. (hence seeing those strings vibrating) A friend made reel tape recording of himself playing the organ in Winchester Cathedral, whilst the lowest notes were heard (and felt) in the Cathedral they were not picked up by the microphones. Those deep pedal notes definitely do contribute to the music. If I can hear our 50Hz mains hum I can tune to that as the bass note G is 49Hz. The open E string of a bass is 41Hz, we have "octave" effects that can halve that to 20Hz and that is audible. Sadly our computers (and KZread) are not really capably of reproducing these low notes.

We wiggle around the Earth's axis at a frequence of (about) 1/86400 Hz, and we can perceive that circadian rhythm as well. It just doesn't register as sound anymore...

I have a full size cello, and was amazed that a bass was the size of me without the pin out. I'd be TERRIFIED to stand next to one of these gigantic beastly instruments😆 ( and that wording is meant with all the love in the world, I love strings with every bit of my heart. )
So an interesting fact about these instruments that not many know about is that the octobass was eventually canceled by the music world because it's sound became obsolete compared to it's cousin instrument “the lawn mower”
I played the octobasse once. Now I've got some whale who won't stop calling me.

When u stop hearing it u start seeing it. Wonderfully made. We can hear the harmonic squeak though, and their tones, and sometimes the low-wobble was clear recognisable bass notes. Cool to see it spool & flam like that. Uncovers mysteries.

What a wonderful instrument! The church I went to as a kid had an organ with a sub-sonic pipe. Memory tells me it was 32 feet long. I used to love it when the organist hit that with his left foot. It shook your body. I've listened to your video on very good but not perfect headphones. I can kind of hear the 16 Hz. It sounds like a vibrato on top of audible overtones.
What a beautiful sound! Well, whatever the opposite of that is.

Fascinating!!
Great demo, thanks! The MIM collection is amazing. I don't know of anything like it anywhere.
Thing is it sounds funny in an isolated context but imagine this low thunderous rumble underneath a full orchestra. God it would sound tremendous!

Unfortunately we only know of seven in the world. One of which is currently in possession of the OSM (Montréal Symphony Orchestra) and is featured in some of their work. Their official KZread channel shows a little bit of its place in a symphony. (kzread.info/dash/bejne/pnatuciGkcW_hpM.html)

Rhea Morales simply search OSM Octobass and you ought to come up with the video I linked. It’s on their official KZread channel so it isn’t too difficult to track down.

I haven't confirmed it yet, but I heard Richard Wagner himself was one of the first composers to use this monster in his orchestra because he, indeed, wanted to create a particularly scary sound effect that he could only find in the Octobasse.

Seems practical. I wonder why they’re not more common.

I love it. I’ve played flute and piccolo for 46 years, and also oboe, alto and tenor saxophone, euphonium, sousaphone, F horn, bass drum, etc. My favorite instruments however are the contra bassoon and the bass violin. Maybe because I’ve always played high pitched instruments, who knows. But I love the low pitched sound. Hits you right in the gut. 🙂

Why didn't you choose cello or double bass or bass clarinet. I don't like the high-pitched instruments. My least favourite is piccolo. Of course, it's used for effects. Nobody can listen to it for a long time.
Super! Danke!
