A trumpet's tube length is about 1.5m. The instrument shown here is has a tube length at least four times as great. So if you play a note on the trumpet, and then you play that same pitch on this horn, you are playing much higher up the harmonic series. This allows the player to blow notes that are very close to one another, without the need for valves to change the effective length of the tube. This allows for a brass instrument with no complicated moving parts, which can play complex melodies. The two major downsides are a reduced margin of error and fixed temper. If the blower is slightly off, they may play the wrong note. Whereas on a shorter instrument where you might be playing farther down the harmonic series, it's often enough for a beginner to be in the general neighborhood to at least make the right note play, with variable finesse. And all of the frequencies that can be played on this instrument are whole-number multiples of the lowest possible note. Temperament is a whole bag of worms that's a bit too much to get into here. But a horn of fixed length (no valves) is like a guitar that 1) has no frets on the neck and 2) you're also only allowed to play harmonics (can't press the string against the neck; light touch only) and 3) only has one string. This limits the keys that this instrument can play in, even in a solo (unless you're deliberately working outside of "comfortable" intonation, which can certainly be a thing). And it wouldn't play well in concert with most modern instruments, which tend to use equal temperament. There'd be one note in the entire scale where this instrument and the equal-temperament instrument are perfectly in tune with one another, while some other notes will sound slightly detuned, like a honkey-tonk piano. Other notes would produce a noticeable wobble called a "beat", while other notes will be so dissonant as to produce buzzing or howling sounds. All this to say, if you ever go to a concert where some instrument like this is being exhibited, and modern instruments are being played with it, and it sounds good, it means some people worked very very hard on bringing them together.

[@mossy8419]

as someone with perfect pitch, the horn in this video is tuned to f, and its fundamental harmonic resonates a perfect 11th below that of a standard b flat trumpet. as such, the tube length should be approximately 1.5m * 8/3 = 4m

[@mossy8419]

@goggles789 if you play the b flat trumpet, the note is a written g

[@Miss-cq6iw]

Thank you

[@tom_something]

@@mossy8419 I am so grateful for the engagement on this thread, and for the modicum of experience to help me understand that @goggles789 can be totally right while @mossy84 can also be right, given the context. I played the trumpet in junior high and high school (for a couple months) but knew nothing about music theory at the time. And I didn't really understand why notation for instruments was often written in different keys. It didn't affect me directly, so I kept my head down and just played what was written. It wasn't until recently that I understood "keep your head down and just play what is written" is the whole point of that. I still think it's a gray area as to whether or not it's right (I'm leaning ever more toward "yes" for practical reasons and principals start to take a back seat), but at least I finally get the point of it. Though mossy, are you sure it's tuned to that particular F, and not, perhaps, the F below? When he goes from the 1 to the 5, I feel like I'm hearing quite a few other notes along the slur. Leads me to think that the lowest note blown in this video is not the lowest note of the instrument itself. I think he's riding high, if you catch my drift. That should be the privilege of a long horn, starting high up on the harmonic series so there are more notes to play.

This is ture mastery. The trumpets we have today manipulate the sound with buttons. However this you have to use souly your mouth and the amount of air flow. Absolutly amazing. I don't think people realize how hard this actually is.

[@pedrocampinopt]

I'm amazed how versatile this instrument is, having such an old design, and also what a good musician who can make these sounds without mechanical aid from the instrument

[@robertviragh6527]

The sweet melody comes from the gentle interplay between note and BLLGLGGHGGGHGHGHGHGHHGHGHGHGHGHGGG

[@GorgonDrageil]

It has impressive range. Like going down into lower registers.

[@robertviragh6527]

composer: lower. player: okay I'll try. composer: lower. player: this is as low as I go composer: lower. player: BLLGLGGHGGGHGHGHGHGHHGHGHGHGHGHGGG. composer: Thank you that is the effect we are going for here.

[@nathanjasper512]

Finally a compact trumpet I can travel with.

[@ChuckD59]

My first hear of something like this (and I played trumpet and baritone all through high school, around about the time these were all the rage) A gorgeous sound, and functions not unlike a bugle.

[@malykoth]

If I was crazy-wealthy, I'd use this to summon my servants to me when I'm in a distant part of the manor.

[@marko7552]

too much work, i would have a servant do that for me instead

[@janaterbio8010]

I'd use it to make a dramatic entrance and exit every time I leave or return home

The poet: my manor is so small there are no distant parts, and my heart is so big my lady is never distant. The lady: will you let me in already I've been standing here for an hour? The composer: BLLGLGGHGGGHGHGHGHGHHGHGHGHGHGHGGG.

I want this guy to wake me up like that every day. That is my goal, that is the endgame

Going to have to make do with the neighbors lawnmower bro....

Rumor has it this sound is the last sound someone ever hears. Source of the rumor: the guy playing it.

[@JohnDoe-oo9ll]

What an artistic accompaniment of spacial cinematography. Very suiting and even enhances the performance.

[@nigel900]

Hauntingly beautiful… 👍🏻

[@nickshryock7470]

Beautiful tone, dramatic expression and finely tuned just intervals. A real treat to hear.

[@Beccati.sto.trapezio]

Is so strange to hear a sound "from" the past,amazing

[@robertviragh6527]

Once you've heard the sweet sound of BLLGLGGHGGGHGHGHGHGHHGHGHGHGHGHGGG

[@kilo3989]

I'm a trombone player, so I know exactly how hard it is to be hitting all those partials as accurately as he is. That doesn't stop me from wanting one of these, though.

[@thevoiceharmonic]

I can find 17 notes on my Bass Bugle. I can transpose tunes into at least 3 keys, sometimes to dodge the strong harmonics that can make some notes almost impossible to play. Boogie woogie bugle boy from company B kzbin.info/www/bejne/aX-nqKZodrmNpLssi=glO9RWBmMNifKt88

How is this even possible!? So incredible! Thank you for sharing this with us! :D

[@silviadelvalle3947]

Emocionante.Me transporta a un lugar y tiempo desconocido.Instrumento musical fascinante.Gracias.

[@albertodelpuerto430]

Qué máquina! Sin pistones, todo con armónicos naturales del propio instrumento. Bravo!!!

[@FoxyfloofJumps]

Lovely tone and stability of pitch.

[@user-zb4hk2ir8q]

Fabulous, never seen or heard this instrument thank you. Amazing scales and range.

[@sethfoulk6990]

(A trumpet player myself) THAT is an amazing instrument! Pretty much a valueless trumpet and a slideless trombone and a French horn all in one! I bet it's really hard to bend the notes with it! He has really good tone quality!

[@bergerfonkoenig6997]

What an Instrument !!! What a Sound !!! From the times of the ancient Pompeii !!!... BfK. 📯⭐📯⭐📯⭐📯⭐📯⭐📯

[@ВикторСуслин]

Alle Nachbarn werden dieses wunderbare Musikinstrument lieben. Besonders morgens.

[@fernandocavalarianopatriota]

Que som lindo ! Bravo ! Majestoso e imponente !

[@stephaniecarrow4898]

What a stirring, haunting sound. And to achieve all that without keys, just by changes in breath ~ amazing.

[@BeezyNgeezY-ul1nu]

He is making absolutely beautiful tones on that. He's making it look/sound easy but I can tell you that what he is doing is anything but. He has to move substantial air while making the most delicate change to his embouchure

[@macsnafu]

I've seen pictures of these, but never heard one played--until now. Thanks! It's a lot like early valveless trumpets.

[@thomasmiller4642]

This is awesome! I’ve never seen one of these before. He plays this instrument beautifully!

[@ICGedye]

I googled this instrument after struggling with its name in a crossword! What an amazing tonal range, and a terrific demonstration, wow.

[@Chick3nScr4tch]

Sent a chill down my spine!

[@-johnny-deep-]

Wow - that is one cool looking and awesome sounding brass instrument! Quite suitable for "blowing down the walls of Jericho!"

[@ChainsTheChef888]

This what you hear at the end of a war movie when the war has finished and you see stuff on fire along with a silent destroyed city and some remaining soldiers paying honors resting as a group and giving thanks that it's over now, such a wonderful instrument this is

[@marianosozio7377]

INCREÍBLEMENTE HERMOSO EL SONIDO DE ESTE INSTRUMENTO,LÁSTIMA LOS TEMAS MUSICALES ROMANOS QUE EN EL SE TOCARON,JAMÁS LOS PODREMOS RECUPERAR A NO SER QUE SE INVENTE UNA MÁQUINA DEL TIEMPO.

Some serious playing skills there. Hauntingly beautiful.

What a unique and monumental musical piece. Just loves it!

[@elijahbutterfield4869]

"Over the ages, war has changed, Cross the skies, its always raged For field where be battles, Or crests over mantles. But a closed eye sees true, Remembering years of youth, Eons apon themselves ago, I, the ageless, doth only know. The smell of blood, the cries of fear, The losses waxed strong every year. But in those days of my youth, With my eyes keen and my aim true, The feelings stirred neath our skin, Our stomachs churned, fit to win. The drums would pound and the blades would crash, With trumpets sound, when fields turned ash, The loss was great, so too the win, As the trumpets sound for our dead men. Those were the days when I was young, When this would sound, with beating drums... E'en old I've grown, still, I grow, That my body spread for all to know, For all to know that blood still spills, From brothers hand, to kings on hills. I am war, the god, the great. I cannot die, for I am eternal hate, I say all this, for this is your fate, Death you will meet, before heavens gate..."

[@dukecity7688]

I was transported to a time and far away place. Thank you very much.
