A0: Still a note Ab0: Still a note G0: A vibrator F#0: Air Pump F0: My washing machine E0: A motorcycle A-1: Helicopter Overhead Unhearable (inaudible?) is a funny way to put it. Since we can hear it, it just doesn't register as a pitch. We hear individual clicking noises, which is just the reed slapping only 13.75 times per second.
Right but those clicking noises aren't a sound at a frequency of 13.75Hz. They're sounds of much higher frequency, happening 13.75 times a second. In other words, if you listen for a little over a second, you're not hearing a whole note of A-1. You're hearing 16 16th-notes that are a few octaves higher.
Haha, though in all honesty the subcontrabassoon is plenty low enough for any reasonable musical purpose. I will admit that my personal line between "absolutely necessary orchestral instrument" and "obvious joke instrument" isn't always clear to everyone else.
You should have posted a clip from his gigarackett video. Richard bobo is a living legend. I can only imagine how incredibly difficult it must be to create a new member of an orchestral family of instruments
Theres a very low frequency noise that earthquakes make before they happen. I experienced a 7.0 and sat in my basement for many hours listening to this baaaarely audible noise before each aftershock that week. It sounds like some asshole blaring an ultra low bass from his car stereo two blocks away. Its so faint but once you get attuned to it, you can't unhear it. The big trucks rumbling by at my sort of nearby intersection make the noise too. Its like a low low low bass. Now i have earthquake PTSD.
A huge bravo for this huge feat! You almost break records but as a clarinettist I would like to point out that to my knowledge the lowest instrument is a clarinet descending to C-2 (4.09). Stop there to get tired of the clarinets this huge record 🤣🎉
How does the jump between two notes happen at 0:45 - 0:49? Is that an air pressure thing building up inside the tubes or caused by inconsistent breathing?
Listen to Tony Levin play bass guitar on some of his sessions. He plays notes so low you can barely hear them, but you can certainly FEEL them, and they will destroy even a good subwoofer if you're not careful.
but there are so many other frequencies coming out ... how are you supposed to separate out the note ? you got harmonic resonance PLUS a whole other note in there ... I hear 3 things including a percussion... If you got something above the note you're playing that ain't it. the 8 below didn't work
When the pitch goes so low you can use it as a metronome, that's when you know you've reached the ultimate goal
Just need like an octave or two then it's within a usable range for metronomes
I can hear the darn sine wave
@@AlbySilly The fastest tempo of a standard metronome is 208 bpm, or 3.47Hz, or about A-3

its referring to the fundamental not the harmonics

Actually, a small number of humans can hear down to 10 Hz. But most cannot.
I'm a contrabass clarinet player.
This is a brilliant demonstration. Wonderful work.
I wish I had a Contrabass Clarinet
Contra sax, clarinet, and bassoon should all play together
@@saidoof9369 too bad, bass sax superior
thanks for letting us know, i guess

I went to college with him :) he taught me about subharmonic undertones on string instruments. Good to know his bass adventures didn’t stop there.
When you have to prove that you have perfect pitch.
- What insteument do you play?
- I play HYPEROCTOSUBCONTRABASSOON !!!

A-1: “unhearable to humans”
humans: clearly hears sound
The actual note not the popping sound
@@saidoof9369 that _is_ the note...
@@aimbot_user19 I know
overtone series along with physics of the reed is what you're hearing, lesson the A-1 pitch
@@aimbot_user19 What you're hearing isn't the note, they're harmonics and mechanical rattling of parts.
Playing at 2x speed helps to hear the low notes
Doesn’t that raise the pitch?
@@sithlordmikeypindeed It does
i can hear all of them without it though
@@rami-succar7356 your hearing noise, but not the actual tone being played. If you could hear them you'd be a super human
@yaelram12 i can't tell what the pitch is but i can tell what they are relative to eachother

Bro give me more info or video with this 4.09hz clarinet. It's sooo interesting
"not hearable to humans"
*makes a very audible rumble*
A rumble, but not a note. We perceive the individual pulses, but not the pitch per se. At least that's what I understood.
Notes are vibrations. You hear 10 Hz, for example, not as a musical note but as noise.
You hear it just fine, not as noise, as rhythm.
when you hear each individual vibration of the Hz
Waiting for the inevitable “concerto for hypersubfexlicontra bassoon and orchestra”
The last one sounds like an American Big Rig jake-braking.
Bro got the whole plumbing system on his instrument
Professional downstairs neighbor
"The contrabassoon us the lowest instrument"
This guy: hold my beer
why the frick have i been laughing to this for like 5 minutes😂 is it supposed to be this funnny
I remember sticking a hosepipe into my clarinet to play A4.... this is on a whole other level
We are getting dangerously close to the browm note
Starts to sound like somebody snapping a ruler against a table towards the end. You can count the cycles!
Elephants say, "Dang, that's high."
that might be the loudest un hearable note
I've got food poisoning today, and this is my song.
Awesome. Longer and/or bigger instrument means lower pitches. Vice versa for smaller and shorter ones.
Finally, an instrument to challenge the low range of a bass trombone
Hell yes brother
The very low notes sounds like a jackhammer farting
Sounds like the noise coming from the sewers near the Federal Reserve building.
That’s prolly a $40,000 instrument right there
Reminds me of an acid trip when i witnessed the walls peel back and reveal the vibration behind all matter in the universe. Best 20 seconds of my life
At a certain point you can hear the overtones louder than the actual note, I like that!
I love
deeper 😩
I was able to hear the last note 😎
E0 sounds like my lawnmower
Not even 10 seconds in and it already sounds like an air compressor.
E-flat -3 it's just me beating eighth notes on my belly
Oh fk... I'm not human
my skull almost said imbouttoblow
last one sounds like a helicopter
My neighbor used to have a motorcycle that idled at A-1...
Good enough when it sounds like a V twin engine

What do you think about symphonies of wind by Stravinsky?
bros jaw is like crazy
My Laundry Machine:
It has reached the frequency range of drum players making rolls
Sounds like subwoofer test tones
Wait till he finds out about tuba
Crazy to think JD Sumner could sing a G0

Give richard bobo credit where it is due!

You can hear each hertz
Guy looks like he's making excuses to pull bong hits
These last frequencies glued off the battery from my phone. Also, never look up the Polish word for a bassoon.
i can feel it vibrating in my brain
but in a good way
I wanna hear a chord with this as the bass.
brown note
How does the jump between two notes happen at 0:45 - 0:49? Is that an air pressure thing building up inside the tubes or caused by inconsistent breathing?
Pipe organ
The last one sounded like a helicopter lmao
But weirdly the pitch of some others were higher than ones before?? Idk
@@Miracle7Sevenits probably the stronger harmonics on the big instrument
:o

0:05 Bad word
i still heard that last note
Edit: turns out im actually a dog
0:50 old helicopter
Well, then you can instead of measuring pitch of all, measure every single vibration as separate note. Kind of reverse extratone.
At 0:51 bro that is either a helicopter or a T-rex breathing.
0:51 if it's below human range what we can listen is what? Harmonics?
Yes!
I don't understand because I can totally hear it.
i can still her a-1
Why ya gotta go and make me shit my pants?!
Not cool, man.
Just kidding. I was constipated for almost a week. Thank you!
At this point just get a large gear ratio which creates a speaker pulse every 100,000 rotations
Cool but what's it sound like in a song
Brown note?
Hehehehehehehe
Lmao

If you got something above the note you're playing that ain't it. the 8 below didn't work
It's hard to remove harmonics from an acoustic instrument, since they just exist. A digital instrument is the only way to remove natural harmonics.
