Get more than 1 meter, please

[@yugandali]

Back in about 1960, Dennis Brain played the Mozart French Horn Concerto on a length of garden hose connected to a mouthpiece. Hoffnung recorded it, if you are lucky enough to find the CD.

[@fuzzincedinnadon]

The length indeed is important for the pitch. We once played the 1st act of the Nutcracker in my orchestra and it needs a "children's toy trumpet" tuned in C. It is of course impossible to find such a thing, but then we used exactly this trick to produce the sound of one (if the funnel is small enough, it sounds like a toy trumpet anyway). During the rehearsal weekend we used scissors to tune it. Knowing how long the hose should approximately be, we just cut small pieces from it. It was awesome!

[@nickpie548]

Who knew you could play a beer bong.

[@TigranAbgarjan]

aahahaha xD

[@spasticpug5209]

[@72marshflower15]

🤣🤣🤣

[@briaalynnie]

i play a brass instrument and this is definitely NOT fake. get any horn without keys, and this is exactly what it does. btw, this is amazing. you have to be really talented to do this.

[@alanmacbay2063]

Kinda makes you think what's the point of spending a fortune on a brass instrument when you just buy a plastic tube.

[@nexus1g]

Well, I suppose so you don't look like a homeless loon blowing into things he found in a dumpster.

[@juliettesinclair2662]

nexus1g I would give that homeless loon money for ingenuity

[@bigmaclily]

alan macbay you can't hit every note, only one position's worth of notes, like Bb, f, Bb, d, f... not Ab and all those others

[@supertornadogun1690]

alan macbay because its sound more perfect and also you can only play 1/9 of the notes

[@shiningarmor2838]

So you don't have to carry around 4 horns to play

[@The_Gallowglass]

Congrats. You've made a bugle.

[@HandwhistlerBen]

What a great set of lips! Wonderful sound and technique.

[@Mitchman240]

this was gold. well done to everyone involved.

[@SimComProductions]

Stumbled from GA...This is just to cool!

[@michaelskinner1979]

I have a test tomorrow why am I watching this!

[@pcfirewire7923]

[@seosamhv]

hahahahhah yes me tooo

[@Joseph-bb8dl]

Same

[@JM-ms4hu]

How'd it go?

[@yinghanli6863]

sameeee

[@bassoonhero95]

this is amazing! and it is SO not fake. it seems anything on a brass instrument is possible if you've got the chops to change the notes like he did!

[@stevenfeil7079]

Bugler players have been getting ripped off for centuries.

[@DE0DAT1989]

Mind Blown. BLOWN. GET IT? DAD JOKE.

[@AznLoLStar]

I'm more amazed at how clean the tone is when he buzzes on the mouth piece. Transfer that over to a trumpet and....wowza!

[@StarCrusher.]

Makes you think what they need the buttons for on the real trumpets.

[@local1667]

StarCrusher sorry for the late reply, but the valves on a trumpet do serve a purpose. With a setup like this, you can only play a series of notes that are farther apart in pitch and get closer the higher you go up. Look up “harmonic scales” the valves on a trumpet change the length of the instrument, allowing for a greater variety of pitches to be played. A lot of notes would not be able to be played on this instrument, known as a baroque horn.

[@nuttysquirrel8574]

Interesting, but we did this when I served in H.M. Royal Marines Band (UK) back in the 1970s! Our top brass players would tape the funnel to the tubing and, amogst other things, would swing it around whilst playing. They also fixed the tubing to the spout of an old fashioned kettle, take the lid off, and hey-presto yet another, fun, 'musical' instrument........ in fact, this can be done with any object that has an entry, and an exit. Ah, those good old days!!!!

[@PIPEHEAD]

In the 1980s at some stage, in a free gig in the art gallery up the road, a French Horn player from the Liverpool Phil did this mouthpiece and hosepipe demo. He was just a tad cooler than the cool cat herein depicted, he showed how to get a Wah Wah effect by swinging the hosepipe round your head whilst playing - well, you've got nothing else to do .....

[@tatuleproso1043]

the dislikes are from people who bought a 500 dollar trumpet instead this amazing instrument

[@SweetSpotGuitar]

Interesting how his mouthpiece placement is decidedly off-center. I love how people make their own adjustments to make their best sound.

[@n3v3rg01ngback]

Music comes from the mind, hands, mouth, and lungs. Instruments are just wrenches.

[@david4d35]

Nice lip trill.

[@enti7y]

the quality of the tubing, the length, and the quality of air (volume, speed and accuracy).. determine the quality of sound.. the fact that he can make plastic tubing and plastic funnel sound like a hybrid between a trumpet and a french horn is outstanding. just coil up the tubing a few times and play a show! :)

[@itlog.sa.chicken]

To get it straight, everyone here used stumble upon ? Outrageous ! Stumbled from Philippines, lol

[@johnsonjuliam]

Stumble from Calgary, Alberta, CANADA!

[@Teuhcatl]

come to think of it in the midle ages there werent any valves on brass instruments so this is pretty cool

[@glennojordan]

I reckon he and Linsey Pollak would get along really well!

[@SamiTheAnxiousBean]

"what instrument do you play?" *T U B E*

[@bonumfatum457]

High guys! I was able to play the same range of notes (harmonic) on 9ft of tubing. However, i would recommend more for a more trumpet-like sound.

[@rlrsk8r1]

What he made here is a bugle. A proper bugle (the kind that looks like a valveless trumpet) can play about 5 notes, each many notes apart. Think about most bugle calls, like Charge!, Taps and Reveille. These are played on a trumpet without the use of the valves (or, by holding the same combination down for the entire bugle call to change the key). Once you've built up your lip muscles, it isn't hard. Just remember your own strength when it's time to kiss the girls.

[@Dominescu]

that's awesome! I can't wait to find the trumpet mouthpiece and try it! haha!

[@yukislost]

That 12 years ago comment.

[@ArtMad1]

Wow, what a great player! Bravo!!

[@tren5724]

Take away the mouth price and that there is a beer bong.

[@jean-lucpicard3012]

Keep the mouth piece and it's a "one time at band camp" story

[@BransonKP]

This is so thrilling! I know what my weekend project is!

[@yukislost]

First like👁️👄👁️🤼

[@JpChannelOne]

Unbelievable, how deceptively real the "Bach trumpet" sounds with the plastic filter

[@TFBtrumpet]

it is true, thats how natural trumpets work. the only differences are in the material, and a slightly more gradual expansion to the end of the bell in a brass made trumpet.

[@Jessbaberox]

Stumbled from Los Angeles, California!

[@walikai]

to change the length of the pipe, when you press them down they divert the air through different pipes, and a trombone uses a slide which changes the length, instead of buttons

[@GBrushProductions]

stumbled from ct. he made a trumpet out of a beer bong. 20 points to that guy

[@joshniv]

and then, you funnel your beer for a drunken orchestral moment

[@chriswellz5993]

Same. lol In order to find this video, I had to type in the search bar "I wanted to show you a very primitive piece of equipment trumpet" and boom! This video popped up. lol

[@benvaldovinos9137]

this versions fruity

[@Kramlets]

Link please?

[@nojus7348]

Can anyone tell me the link for the dubstep version?

[@joedee1863]

I can't believe you got that sound out of a plastic hose ! ! !

@TheJoshhaglund wtf me too (Perth) and whats weirder is ive seen this vid b4...

[@meunier251]

@SycamoreHill14 not a joke. this is legitimately what trumpets used to be. valves were only invented about 200 years ago. All trumpets were then were metal tubes. You control the pitch with air speed and embouchure (lips movement/position)

[@lhopperstad]

The Best video on youtube I have ever seen

stumbled from yuma, AZ!

[@Gunbudder]

its a straight trumpet! my old instructor got an actual straight trumpet (a normal brass one) for free once because it had been thrown from a truck driving down the highway. i couldn't believe how nice that horn sounded after he fixed it up. it still looked super nasty though

[@ofadetergentsud]

Give this man a beer!

[@60secondsormore]

stumbled from GA AWESOME...i play trumpet , I'm gonna try it

[@johnbtheperson]

OK, just to clarify, this instrument CANNOT do what a trumpet can do. It can't even come close. He does a very good job of masking this by playing only the notes that are in tune, but there's more to making a musical instrument than just a mouthpiece and a tube. However, don't let that stop you from buying some vinyl tubing and a mouthpiece if you want to have some fun. That's how I got started anyway. There are two main differences between this instrument and a trumpet: a trumpet has valves, and a trumpet also has a conical bore, whereas vinyl tubing has a cylindrical bore. This means that the overtone series for this instrument is different from the one used by a trumpet, and the notes don't line up the same. The purpose of the bell of a trumpet is not just to amplify the sound -- it's to tune the harmonics. If you want to see a musical instrument with a conical bore but no valves or keys, I recommend the bugle or the alphorn. You can do a lot with just a well-tuned overtone series.

[@thekitkidchannel146]

at first i thought he was playing bonetrousle

[@sparky3489]

...into the future. Time keeps on slippin, slippin, slippin...into the future.

[@fantage_lukeh2o]

Yeah. It'd be pretty cool if it had everything a trumpet had (valves, slides, extensions, water keys, etc.)

Wonderful demo! Thanks! I will use this in my music sessions for people with disabilities.

[@kalleklp7291]

Aaaaand..you just invented the "Beer Bong Trumpet".

[@nathanvanmiddlesworthmedia]

He's pretty good at that!

[@kyteman]

a trumpet works the same way, you don't have to touch your valves to change your tone. the higher you get, the smaller the distances between the notes become. I will give it a try later on this week, cuz if it works, I'll have a new instrument to experiment with! thanks for posting this vid!

[@TheChallenger1000]

How'd it go?

He's pretty darn good at playing the Lowes Hose.

Just a heads up, in the more developed parts of the world where the metric system is used, 3/8th of an inch is known as 1 cm. Yes, just 1. Instead of 0.375 inches.

Just a heads up, in the more intelligent regions of the world, people know both conversions and don't have to bitch about it one way or another.

gooby goobton Yeah, the thing is, it is very inefficient.

[@Baelfyr]

***** is there a point to having two systems? just use the metric, why in the world anyone would need two systems to measure the same thing. Just use the one everyone else uses and is what the imperial systems uses to get the imperial system in the first place.

It's the moisture produced by his breath.

[@strobx1]

@bsanj1025 That called a "condensation key". The tubing acts like a still and distills the water vapor from your lung when you exhale. It the same thing whales do when they exhale. You get mainly water vapor with some saliva & mucus.

[@RuralProduct]

[@DraconicXX]

You realize that most notes on a trumpet are played without using the keys. Which is exactly the same to what he's doing with the tubing.
