I’ve been the proud owner of one since the early 1980s.

As a tuba player, I approve of this message.

The sound made me laugh immediately so I think that qualifies it as good at something lol

I quite like it, the sound at least, the valve system seems both restrictive and needlessly complicated (but im not sure if the complicated element isn't comon or not, but it would just be cool if there was an option to play the bells together)

Pretty sure I heard this thing as a fail horn in a game once...or a Caddicarus video...or both.

BTW, THANKS, Trent!

It's the BIGGEST. No argument here. But: it might be nice if you can demonstrate how the RANGE is different than the regular BASS trombone range. The notes you played can easily be played by a bass trombone. Just sayin' . . .

AAhh... to err is human... the trombone...can't forgive you. Man, tough luck!

The teenage baby of a tuba and trumpet

Not gonna lie, I would buy one

small trumpet

Man why don't they just make like tuba shaped cimbasso so its not like all big and all over the place

I literally put this video into a tuner for alto sax and it worked… he is an alto in disguise (he was playing a d9 and higher 😅😅)

I love this song very much

Let's talk facts. Start by realizing the British bugle is a flugelhorn, not a trumpet or cornet. The British double-wrap copper bugle was designed by Capt. Ridge in 1812 to replace the single-wrap 'bugle-horn' used at that time. It is a descendant of the Hanoverian 'Halbmond' signal horn which is an unwrapped semi-circle of tube, a member of the flugelhorn family. Since the British Bb double-wrap is a flugelhorn, always use a FLUGELHORN mouthpiece and practice gently with it taking breaks until it is easy. Just a matter of putting time into it.

I wouldn't call it awful really. A cross between a trumpet and an oboe maybe? A trumboe? In the right hands, it might create something really nice. The saxaphone was considered awful, and a joke for quite a while after it was invented too. You might be surprised what a real artist could do with that thing.

he starts playing at 0:34

Ten years ago already It didn't feel that long

2:10 oh course Scotland the brave.

아ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

I’ve done this. It’s really weird and I’ve done trumpet with trombone mouth piece

Straight up trumpet with a replacement as a slide

What is the piece Trent played?

1:37 eaaafff

Where did you get your piccolo?

Wakanda instrument is that?

the cheek puffing is killing me

I dig the sound of a reed brass instrument. That kicks all kinds of ass.

no no no. If you wanna play a trumpet, get a beginner trumpet. A plastic trumpet may sound like a good choice, but it misses one crucial detail: TONE! If you want to get better at trumpet, you should stick with the ones made of actual brass! Plus, if you get a plastic trumpet, you can be made fun of. So you should get a beginner's trumpet, and if you don't like it, then you can just return it. If you like playing and you wanna improve, then you should start moving up to an intermediate trumpet and eventually an advanced trumpet. Overall, plastic trumpets are not the route to go.

I marched with one of these in high school. I didn't sound as good as you, though. And we all played it thumb-out, except when we were playing one-handed.

As always, wonderfully clear. Thanks

As far as I know this instrument was often used in the GDR (East Germany) within streetorchestras. Honecker, the last political Leader of that Former country, himself was a player of this instrument. I would not say it is awful, even though it got just 8 pitches! I guess it is much easier to learn how to play than other wind-instruments and this would be a plus! Probably it becomes a bit boring after a while, though. If I remembrr correctly the reeds are made out of metal, ss they are in accordions and harmonicas.

Trent i would absolutely love to see a review of one of the thomann house brand instruments like one of their c trumpets or their piccolo

Showing a euphonium ❌ Flexing his instruments 👍

You should have started the video by playing it, or at least have done it way earlier. You also played it too shortly. If I see a title about "a very bad instrument" I'm instantly interested in hearing it. Less saying, more playing please.

I understand the desire to Rick-roll, but why did you waste the opportunity to play some Chuck Mangione?!

“Hey, Ron, I just thought of this: how small _can_ we go?” “Idk man let’s find out” - a pair of friends in the trombone factory

There is no inherently incorrect way to hold or press down a valve. As long as the valve goes down as fast as you can make it go down while it stays comfortable you are using it correctly. Most people would advise against using the middle joint of your finger but i find it quite comfortable for playing my contra, whereas i use my fingertips for my concert tubas because they have rotary valves instead of the basic pistons. Finger placement always comes down to 2 (3 if it’s in drum and bugle corps) things. 1. Comfortable…ness (if it feel right, it is right) 2. Functionality (if the valve moves right, it is right) 3. (only in DBC/DCI) uniformity (if we all look the same, its immediately better) TLDR; it doesn’t matter as much as you think, just hold it the way it feels right

oh noooooooooooooooooooooooooooo :((((((((

It’s not that small😢

Your voice sounds so little.

O som parece o trombone!

My guess, and it is only that, is a military band e-flat horn, easier to play while marching.

Clarinet and flute lol

i completely thought it was a baritone

Where can buy

I want to take this to band class and say “uh, I think I got the wrong trombone
