Holy Cow. At 1:51 it shows Julian demonstrating the range. There is no straining or red face and the guy plays what sounds like notes above DHC and low notes that sounds like its lower than a Bb trumpet can go. This guy can kick butt and he's informative. Thanks! -
No strain? Just look at the contortions of his face...

Here's strain.
On a side note, now that people actually hear what these notes sound like, this high note snippet will be some people's Holy Grail. -

Loved it! I’m a history nut, so it was right up my alley. I’ve performed for around 25 years in a small brass group using original mid-19th century instruments. They are more demanding to play than modern instruments, but the sound is very unique. We strive to present a fairly accurate representation of what a band of this type would have sounded like, and also dress the part. That’s me, front row, far right.

Dr. Downing, 26th NC Regt. Band, sent me several of that group's recordings several years ago. I discovered "Butcher's and Drover's March" in a museum here in Arkansas and provided it to him. The band's arranger produced a band arrangement from the piano score and the 6th performed it. The march was from 1860's Philadelphia and composed by the first black band leader in the city. I believe his name was Johnson. I ran the Ark. 5th Regt. Band for a few years. We played in 4 states and performed for the national SCV convention. Never could afford replica instruments, but the Robb Stewart horns looked great.
