Love that ending with the octocontra. The ordinary sopranos in Bb and A sound like such little pipsqueaks by comparison.
Jane Feline jumped up on my desk and found the whole video quite fascinating. However, when M. Mercadier got to the "Unlisted" one, her body recoiled but then she crouched, thrust her head forward, flattened her ears and waggled from side to side: feline indecision for, "I think that's supposed to be a musical instrument, but maybe I'd better get into attack-mode in case something nasty crawls out of that right-hand speaker."

There's a very nice album featuring the Ab clarinet in ensemble:
Thalia-Schrammeln "Music from Old Vienna" on the Naxos label.
I downloaded it in .mp3 from Amazon. There is no option to buy the physical CD there.
(One of the reviewers claims that the clarinet is in G, but I don't think it is, it being a Western European ensemble. Also, the Naxos "liner notes" speak only of a "high clarinet," and don't mention the actual key. I'll investigate.)

Those are both awesome videos and very instructional too! I wonder how he got his hands on that Octacontraalto - is he in cahoots with the LeBlanc company? I thought I read years ago that there were only two of them ever made and one octacontrabass.
Sweet.
