My braithophone!

Cheers fellow saxophone players!

I just posted a clip I made a couple of years ago when I started to learn playing my braithophone.
I'm still working on learning it though, but it is hard to do two things at once.

Hope you enjoy this (kind of stupid...) tune. I think that I might have posted it before, but it's brand new on youtube.



All the best,
Jonas Kullhammar

Yes, but both sides are built to play with one hand only, so it is a bit limited if you want to play as fast as on a regular horn. But it does work.
But the one hand construction is very smart! I can play chromatic from low D to High F on the alto side, and on the soprano from low C to high Eb.

Jonas,

I had a sudden idea.

Have you ever experimented with the Tartini effect on this horn?

Because the Tartini effect involves the production of two sounds an exact fifth apart from each other, if you play symmetrically, the braithophone is uniquely suited to produce sounds making use of the Tartini effect.

See it demonstrated here



there are also a couple of videos of a saxophone players blowing a note and humming a fifth but it isn't the same thing as two instruments played together.
