Hello all,
here is a compilation/comparison between a valve ophicleide, an ophicleide and an F tuba based on some orchestral passages from Richard Wagner's opera - The Flying Dutchman.
Have fun and enjoy!

Thanks for sharing, that was interesting.
I would think the average audience would say the F tuba version sounded better, not being as interested in historical accuracy.

I would agree with the average audience, at least with a modern trombone section like in the video. I'd definitely be interested to hear a similar comparison with 19th century trombones.

I agree on both counts.The Brute Squad wrote: ↑Tue Nov 01, 2022 10:59 am I would agree with the average audience, at least with a modern trombone section like in the video. I'd definitely be interested to hear a similar comparison with 19th century trombones.
I myself liked the F tuba version better.
But I wonder if I would have a different take if the trombone section were different.
