$100 TRUMPET from Glarry Musical Company | Instrument Reviews

Heads up: the background music might be a little loud without headphones, so either fetch some or turn on closed captions, which are available on this video! Thanks for watching, gang! 🎺

But the "Pie Jesu" was nice.

[@RobertCardwell]

Use it for your New Orleans crew jazz playing and you won't regret forgetting you left it on the bandstand when you chased those beads.

[@SamuelPlaysBrass]

For softer stuff I think I can definitely get a few gigs out of it and not have to worry as much!

[@KMHill]

Such a bargain. I think it sounds great with your gold mouthpiece.

[@SamuelPlaysBrass]

Glad you think so! I really enjoy this horn considering the price tag.

[@callmemastermaster9875]

I own this trumpet and always thought it sounded a little off, but that it was because of me. After this video, I understand it's the trumpet. Thanks for playing.

[@SamuelPlaysBrass]

Glad I could clear the waters! This trumpet has a nice sound in my opinion but it’s a little more niche than a typical trumpet sound. Different overtone patterns, etc. The player amplifies these tendencies but they are certainly there.

[@callmemastermaster9875]

@@SamuelPlaysBrass For me it goes off note fairly quickly and has a tendency to more "bass" sounds. The difference between a ballerina and a wrestler. Not delicate and missing a certain sense of gentility found in more expensive.

How do they make a trumpet for $100?

[@Jrg42beatscr]

you should try hindu musical instruments, good video

How come a $100 horn gives ya 2 spit valves and a $3000 Bach won’t?

[@SamuelPlaysBrass]

Bach claims that having a water key on the 3rd slide can harm some of the resonances on the pitches that use the 3rd valve. I can’t speak to how true or significant the effects are, but I did feel a very strong and stable slot on 3rd valve low E on the Yamaha YTR-5330, which did not have a water key on the slide, and the same goes for my Bach 229CL.

In fairness, a practice room acoustics were always too stuffy for me.

Would be interesting to hear in an open space.
