[@colinstubbs7670]

for someone who is not very good with english, Leyendecker worded his interpretation excellently

[@macemaster124578]

its not the mouthpiece anymore. its his years of experience of playing the trombone that gives him his beautiful tone

[@yomearreglo]

that beautiful tone is made by the musician, not the trombone or the mouthpiece. Years of practice can make a cheap trombone sound beautiful

[@StephenWhimple]

This guy should've done more master classes

[@PumilateVFX]

i really wanted to hear leyendecker play the whole thing

[@jaimesilva8570]

Muito bo exelente aula de mussica

[@who8mahbacon]

one good trombone player.

[@Discoduchess]

macemaster124578 I applaud you. So true.

[@Mrboyboy131]

I guess the student was using the Alessi model but I don't know what horn the teacher was using.

[@ec-hi1br]

What model is this trombone?

[@ThePuyuma]

kromat

[@jessecohen4517]

The student is using an Edwards T396A while Mr. Leyendecker is using a Kromat.

[@inspicesgram5318]

2:33 how did he do that?

[@PumilateVFX]

he just blew air

[@zacharyzapico7]

The student is using an alessi model mouthpiece and horn, while the teacher is using a thein. At least I believe so, most Germans do, since thein is a German company.

[@lisah9992]

It's a Michael rath trombone

[@zacharyzapico7]

Lisandro Hernandez it's an Edwards Alessi model lmao

[@lisah9992]

Daniel Zachary Zapico I meant the teachers instrument lmao 😂

[@zacharyzapico7]

Lisandro Hernandez the teachers is still a Thein

[@hariboi8840]

That is 100% a Kromat CL-139. Thomas Leyendecker is listed as a reference musician on their website and the instrument looks exactly like the one on the picture, the only two differences being a Hagmann- instead of an axial-valve and a larger silver rim that's decorated with shell ornaments instead of a small one. But this is exactly what the Kromat workshop was crafting the last years. I don't know if anything has changed until today. On any account the fine, warm, and simply beautiful sound of this gorgeous instrument is clearly recognizable! I can only say the very best about Mr. Kromat with his team and their instruments! Here's their website: www.kromatbrass.de/E-kromatbrass_de/e-kromatbrass_de.html

[@dwightwhitlock2882]

what kind of mouthpiece is leyendecker using? His tone is beautiful.

[@PumilateVFX]

It’s not the mouthpiece that makes the trombone sound good

[@39B]

Isn't this part played on Alto trombone? I think the top note (Eflat?) is too high and too hard to be played on tenor one.

[@falloutboy7778]

A good player can play a piece on any horn ;P

[@falloutboy7778]

Yeah I could play a F0 all the way to a Bb4 when I played in college on a tuba

[@falloutboy7778]

That's what practicing every day does for you! Hard work pays off

[@CrewsTheWildDawg]

It's possible to do it on tenor.

[@MrMinorChord]

The practical ceiling for tenor trombone is considered to be G5, but some more conservative musicians will say it's D5. It all depends on the player.

[@farquell5782]

he makes the boring excerpts into pieces of music!!

[@basstrombonism]

The teacher is playing on a Michael Rath trombone.

[@archieyoung-lee]

no he isn't it looks more like a German Schagerl. If it were a Michael Rath there would be the iconic 'R' on the tuning slide

[@brassybreathing7417]

Archie Young-Lee at first: schagerl isnt german. Its a austrian company. And he play not a schagerl

[@jessecohen4517]

No, he is playing on a Kromar

[@organman52]

What does the 'story' have to do with how to play this music? Why do they ALWAYS chatter about this meaningless dribble?

[@superior_nobody07]

story of music is important, it gives the musician an understanding of what is going on in a particular piece of music, which in turns gives them an idea of how they should stylize the music. Musical story is a fundamental part of music, by understanding the idea and intent behind an excerpt, a musician can play it with the proper style.

[@Aduysvmncmkouyf]

Before asking stupid questions like this maybe think about it.

[@organman52]

@@Aduysvmncmkouyf oh - okay. Thanks for this superlative advice.

[@organman52]

@@Aduysvmncmkouyf And now that I revisit this idiotic nonsense, it is more idiotic than it was the first time. It has NOTHING to do with how to play this glorious music. He needs to SHUT UP.
