There is like $150,000 worth of instruments in this room

[@brandonh8944]

Actually probably quite a bit more

[@epicbrumoment8810]

I’d say probably 320,000-400,000

[@MusicGuyFK]

Bro it’s way more than that.

[@puke_818]

like almost half a million

[@captainwaffles9785]

I’d say it’s quite a bit of money

[@LiopleurodonFerox]

This is very probably the most contrabassoons to ever be in the same room at the same time

[@kishascape]

They dropped the ball though by not doing the cantina song instead though.

@@epicbrumoment8810 he is talking about contrabassoons and not the subcontrabassoon

[@Thebestbassclarinet]

I’m surprised the house didn’t fall down from the seismic waves being produced by all the contras

the greatest cult in the orchestra
11/10 performance

[@xellv8268]

this is 100% some kind of ritual circle

[@DarkBraveStuff]

the stuff in this room probably costs more than the deathstar....

[@lindsflea8634]

the fact that there's a cat in the background just chilling is amazing

[@fat.ginger-cat]

The cat wouldn't be able to hear it, so it's probably so confused

[@ThirdLawPair]

You didn't play The Imperial March?

Somewhere, on the other side of the world, whales are being summoned.

[@carolime13]

this was worth wasting the minute of my life for, thank you

[@lucpraslan]

Absolutely fantastic! You are a pack of bassoonatics 😂

[@etiennedauphin]

The gig was actually scheduled for two days before it was filmed, but they were all late.

[@alvinong6395]

Amazing. In my country, we can't even find a second contrabassoon out of the whole country... that's sad... I live in Malaysia btw.

[@laurentdarcq5624]

Superb ! Mighty contrabassoon !

[@minasmigkosgymnastics8742]

Imagine hearing that from baroque contrabassoons💀💀💀

[@goose4054]

What kind of Percy Grainger instrumentation is this

[@JayBassoon]

There is like 150,000 meters of instrument tubing in this room.

[@ComposerBiz]

i feel like if it was maybe 7 bassoons and 2 contras it would’ve sounded a little nicer…

[@kylejahimiak5010]

consider this: an ensemble of 9 contrabassoons is funny

There is a reason these are rare instruments. As proven here. Ouch.

[@DDMultitracks]

I love contrabasoon don’t get me wrong. It is amazing. But literally all the harmony is down in the basement sounds like poo.
