Obviously, the piano was going to win. That's not even fair, lol
Shout out to Mr. Tuba. I didn't even know they could get up there!

[kurooschurros]

okay but props to the sax player for just straight hitting that altissimo

[lcope]

I've seen tubas play the full range of a piano lmao. That tuba player was good! Expected more from the horn though, I've seen horns go way lower.

[vyingforlife]

The piano guy walked past and beat everyone so effortlessly, idk why but I burst out laughing

[Sousmn]

I was amazed how easy the tuba player made it look to get up there

[Bassoonist]

Yup I feel the rolling up to the highest note on the bassoon part, but I can always pop out a low Bb lol. 😂

[KameronsAnimations]

I didn't know a tuba had such a wide range

[canalrandom]

That tuba can play higher than me with my trumpet hell nah

[incccii]

Thank you LOL I play bassoon and I love to see more bassoon content ❤

[besapods]

I found that you can lower the sax's usually low Bb to an A by playing with your leg covering the bell

[mccabecompositions]

Technically all brass has an infinite range on the high end, as the only limiting factor is embouchure of the player. I can hit 6 octaves on trombone

[JustARandomNobody]

Tuba's first note sounded like the earth was coming for me 😭

[hardcharging]

Pianist was like, "I ain't got time for this. I'll be impressed if you exceed this!"

[Koolsib]

Yes, more plz with percussion as mallets

[TimTheTiredMan]

The bassoon has way more range than I thought it did lol

[adityabehara]

You guys seriously need to do flute from B3 to F#7 (or G7) (or higher!)

[lesliebryant]

Definitely a fun challenge! The Army Band rocks!!

[Dank_Brtt]

You can go much higher on the Bassoon, I've seen one playing louder than the Flute

[Ryue-Gloamyy]

Some horn solos require the hornist to play way higher than an Ab, for example, binary sunset by John Williams requires the hornist to play a high D.

Fun fact, if you roll a paper on top of the basson (like you did on the sex) it can reach a lá instead of the si b
