Hey, this may seem weird or odd but I saw that you got first at TMEA all state and wanted to say congrats! Next year, I intend on audition on contralto/contrabass and wanted to see if you would be able to assist me in achieving this goal. If there was another messaging platform I could message you on that would be great. Again, thank you and congrats!

Great playing! Wish one of those flutes (or another higher pitched woodwind?) was better in tune...but this is one of my favorite pieces and you did great!

In Tchaikovsky Symphony No. 4 Finale Bari Sax covers Tuba, Tenor Sax covered 1st bassoon (some parts up an octave due to range), 3 Bass Clarinets covered second bassoon, 1 Bass Clarinet covered 1st bassoon, 1 Alto Sax covered 1st French Horn, 1 Alto Sax covered 2nd French Horn, 1 Alto Sax covered 3rd French Horn, 1 Alto Sax covered 4th French Horn. We only have one bassoon and it was playing first part which is why we had so many people covering second bassoon. In Of Our New Day Begun I covered second bassoon since we only had one bassoon. The rest just played parts from the original band arrangement if they didn’t have a part in the orchestra arrangement.

Hey nice playing, I was in the audience for this! What mouthpiece are you using?

@braydensanchez 10 ай бұрын

Thank you! I’m using the Selmer C* that comes standard along with the Selmer Silver Plated Ligatures and Vandoren Traditional 3s! The reeds are more inconsistent than the Légères, but when I find a good one it sounds and plays way better!

@braydensanchez 10 ай бұрын

I trialed the Clark W Fobes mouthpieces at TMEA. From my experience they were terrible… (They were the ones made for the Selmers and not the Leblanc bore sizes) I haven’t tried the Vandoren.

Sick we have the same setup! I’m new to contra and I’m having trouble with throat A and Bb; they’re super unstable, sharp, and want to jump to the next harmonic really easily. Did you ever experience this problem? I tried a LeBlanc mouthpiece and it didn’t have the problem for some reason (although it didn’t sound as good as the C* overall)

@braydensanchez 10 ай бұрын

@@jackwoodruff7889 Are you having this problem on the B♭ Contrabass? If so, I have had this problem to an extent. What I found is that the angle of the mouthpiece entering your mouth plays a large role. Have the instrument a lot lower on the peg than you would otherwise do and angle the mouthpiece at an angle similar to how a B♭ clarinet mouthpiece would be entering your mouth. This is my experience with the Selmer B♭ Contrabass. Unfortunately I realized this after TMEA, so you can’t base the angle off of this video. However, it does sound like you might be biting or not keeping your corners tight enough as well. Make sure you’re not suffocating the reed, nor making your embouchure so loose that your corners aren’t securing the mouthpiece. Another thing that has helped me is making sure the instrument is adequately warmed up. It usually takes 15-20 instruments for the B♭ Contrabass to be warm enough for the tuning and response to be stable.

Hey man thanks for the response, I’ll try what you said! We’re playing this piece at my university so I volunteered to play the contra part… the instrument is a beast but so fun to play, especially in this piece 😄
