The music they chose to put over the video actually made me chuckle. Made it seem way more intense than what is actually happening (at least in some parts), but I loved it! Thanks for sharing.
Wow - I find this kind of stuff fascinating. It's cool to me the craftsmanship that goes into these instruments that allow making musical art possible. Thanks for sharing!

Woodwinds are complicated pieces of gear. I have a couple of saxophones and a flute. I've taken them apart to clean and reassemble, and there are a lot of pieces. Counting the soldered on pieces, I think a sax has about 800. Much more parts than a guitar, but I would much fewer than a grand piano.
I'm just glad I get to play 'em and make a living doing so.
I was surprised at the amount of manual labor that goes into the manufacturing of a Clarinet. I would have thought that robots would do a lot of it but it is really nice to see humans on the production line instead of robots.

64 bit Win 10 Pro, the latest BiaB and RB, Roland Octa-Capture audio interface, a ton of software and some hardware.
Wow, cool to see the manufacturing process from raw material to finished product--clarinets are a complicated product.
I'd guess that woodwind and other instruments made with wood can be tricky. Wood and other organic materials can be pretty unforgiving. They can warp with time, which can obviously affect their use and the quality of sound they can produce.

#TBT - The Introduction of Xtra Styles PAKs for Band-in-a-Box!
We've just released Xtra Styles PAK 9 for Band-in-a-Box® 2020, and to celebrate we've put ALL of our Xtra Styles PAKs on SALE until June 30, 2020!
Xtra Styles PAKs were first introduced in August 2016, and required the Band-in-a-Box® 2016 and higher UltraPlusPAK, EverythingPAK, or Audiophile Edition.

Xtra Styles are RealStyles created by our development team. They've taken our existing RealTracks and RealDrums collection and remixed them to make the new and unique arrangements heard with every new Xtra Styles PAK released.
