“Clarinets one of the most recognizable instruments” **shows an oboe**

[chrisaitken]

This guys mouth needs a mute button so we can actually hear the music he's trying to show us.

[crooklin]

Good video but I wish the guy would have shut up long enough for me to hear what the instrument sounded like not 10 second clip that was played

"Clarinets are one of the most recognizable instruments"
*Shows Oboe*

[minun]

I can’t believe the theremin is not in this list.

[derrickbunn]

I gave up when the "recognisable" clarinet was an oboe and the B flat Clarinet was an E flat.

3:37 "Clarinets are one of the most recognizable instruments"
- Shows stock footage of an oboe. Nice

[mcspikes]

It would have been great to hear the music but the narrator just wouldn’t stay quiet.

[sethcragan]

My goodness the amount of misinformation in this video is absolutely unacceptable. And not featuring the actually sounds is just bad form. All in all, a trash video.

The "j" in cajón is pronounced closest to the 'h' in the word hat. It's not a cashon. It's spanish for big box or drawer.

[cropshabsund]

Hey, if you're hiring, I'd love to be hired as your pronunciation checker

[brendenspudsbenjamin]

Great video but what's the point of making a video about instruments if you don't let us listen to the instruments without talking for a bit??

[ZA-mbdi]

2:10 don't forget the hammered dulcimer, which looks almost exactly like a santour

[jacob]

3:39 If you’re gonna act like an expert on instruments maybe don’t say an oboes a clarinet

[buzzkemper]

"The clarinet is one of the world's most recognizable instruments...." Video shows close up of an oboe.

[FoxMulder]

BRO! I WANTED TO HEAR THE INSTRUMENTS, NOT JUST ONLY YOUR VOICE!! DAMN!

[adamkrauss]

As others have said, you didn't leave barely a second here or there to hear the instruments.

[BaddaBigBoom]

"Clarinets are one of the most recognisable instruments" ...zooms in on an oboe.

[kureigu]

in the Philippines, we weirdly call the Cajon a "beatbox"

[Rammstein]

You know what would have been great? Actually hearing a good demonstration of the sound, not a 3 second clip with the rest drown out by narration.
