This is exactly how Strauss intended it to be played

[@GrahamSlam]

Trent: "Just because you can doesn't mean you should." Also Trent: Here's a duet for contrabass and piccolo trombone.

An elephant playing music with a mouse!

Wait, is he playing music along with a mouse, or using the mouse as an instrument?

I love the contrast between that beautiful intro song to the monstrosity of 2 instruments so far apart that no meaningful harmony can form! That in of itself is beautiful

I never knew I needed this in my life until now.

DigitalObilvi0n no, that’s something completely different

@DigitalObilvi0n Go watch trents video explaining why it’s called a piccolo trumpet

11:30 is some weak shit.

Now THIS is ART. Give this man a master class

[@alphabeets]

This definitely belongs in the Museum o’ Fart.

[@pixelator9002]

I get that you are not from the US, but I think it would be pretty cool if you played Stars and Stripes Forever, and used the piccolo trombone for the piccolo part. Also, that was pretty neat to listen to. Piccolo trombone is pretty comedic as an instrument.

[@alexcarter8807]

Our man Trent needs to do a multi-part rendition of the Liberty Bell March by John Philip Sousa and preface it by saying "And now, for something completely different"...

[@hirokokueh3541]

PROTIP: Make sure the Contra and the Piccolo are in the same key

[@nat6639]

Eyyyyyy

I don't know why it took me so long to figure out a couple of these intros have been barbershop tags. That's really cool!

Finally, a video in which you play an instrument before the ten minute mark!

Haha! Another piccolo contrabass duet to add to the collection... right next to the Piccolo Contrabass clarinet duet on Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy.

[@toastboi5106]

Did you also get the sopranino and contrabass sax duet too?

[@jeremiah3355]

That intro was smooth af

[@zaraak323i]

That reminds me when our marching band to Parade of the Tin Soldiers, with sousaphones and flutes carrying the melody in unison.

Great video especially because its 2:30 in the morning

I clicked the time stamp and it broke my browser, thanks.

[@RockStarOscarStern634]

The Contrabass Trombone is like a Slide Tuba, Piccolo Trombone is like a Slide Piccolo Trumpet w/ a very Baroque type sound from the past.

[@prstudios3256]

I love how despite how hard it is to make a reasonable sound on piccolo trombone, needless to say in tune, Trent still went through the effort. Thank you.

[@edwardcooper7711]

Hi Trent. Well done, this really is a great video

[@ohshitnotanotherknob]

Eyebrow top notes, brilliant!

[@Binlaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

Gotta love the use of polytonality in the arrangement

[@Th3Messenger99]

This is the cutest thing ever! Mommy and baby trombone playing together.

[@snoproblem]

While I enjoyed this unlikely duet, I have to wonder. What would possess somebody to design and build a piccolo trombone? Novelty? Engineering exercise? Pub bet? I wonder about these things. : /

[@ABeardedDwarf]

There's a guy who invented a baritone trombone... and he's working on a contrabaritone trombone... the piccolo trombone is not so crazy.

[@mrdonut1533]

Quite extraordinary

[@schnitzel9003]

You managed to take two polar opposites and make them come together to form a work of beauty

[@thinkerly1]

Splendid.

[@HammondDirk]

I just recorded a trombone quartet with soprano, alt, tenor and bass this week, well, contrabas and piccolo are still to come I guess... :-P

[@bjrnmikkelsen3790]

That is very nice

Would love to hear this piece as a multi track recording like the Jubilee March.

Insert Hydlide reference (because that game's theme is just that; only 1 melody line and 1 bass line and are 3 octaves apart)

Trent Hamilton if I went from a bb tuba to an eb tuba and played the same piece with the same fingerings? I know it is different for the cc tuba, but what about eb, or even f? Thanks

Should be a bass trumpet and the piccolo trombone. Two instruments that have no reason to exist at all. A perfect duet.

TH, a question about your background instruments, Right to the Hamilton sign is a piston valved F-key bass trumpet that I have played in the past, and still currently do, I simply do not know the name of. What is it called?

I, like you, play many different instruments but I can’t afford to buy any really good instruments, especially a trumpet. What would you recommend for an advanced trumpet player that is under $200?

A good trumpet is possible for under 200, if you look hard enough you could find a good Olds or a used Strad.

Toss standard bass and tenor trombones in to make a quartet, find a decent quality piccolo trombone with player (sorry Trent), get the contrabass out of it's "blat" range, and it just might work.

[@willemkossen]

I think the words out of tune dont even begin to describe the problems with this rendition. You might want to try autotune ?!?

Piccolo trombone is so out of tune

If only there were some part of the instrument that could slide in and out to adjust the tuning. ;-)
