The Ophicleide

Posted on November 9, 2007 by Gandalfe

There is a discussion going on the Sax on the Web forum about unique and rare instruments and the Ophicleide came up again. I have not checked this instrument out in the past but the Ophicleide.com does a very nice job of not only showing you pictures of the instrument but provides sound bites too.

    Sounds like someting that should be discussed on a Baritone/Euphonium page.    One of those strange instruments.
