[@CedsBritishBrass34]

Me to. As stated before. The Euph is a beautiful instrument with alot of tasks actually. Sometimes we play the filling part. The other time the bassline. And often of the times we play the melody along with the Flugelhorns or Trumpets but a octave lower. Or sometimes we need to play really high. Thats why i love the Euph. Bc of it’s warm sound and it’s versatility. It really is a jack of all trades. 😁😁😁

Happened to me in an exam.I couldn't use what was my normal instrument as it was playing up, so I borrowed a friends, which was a newer, far nicer version of the same instrument. But it ended up having crazy sticky valves, which took away from the performance. I was happy if not for those valves.

[@troyhawkins1452]

Can you make a video on a trigger euphonium please?

[@ephronium]

Troy Hawkins the 4th valve have the same function as a trigger does for example let’s say if you were on a Bb the trigger could get you to C on a trombone (yes i know your talking about euphoniums) without having to go to 6th position which is like 1st and 3rd valve on euphonium and the 4th valve on euphonium can get you to C

[@joshuafuentes5411]

My high school didn’t have any euphoniums after last year because the last one we had graduated so I switched from trombone and now that I have found this I aspire to play that fast and clear

[@kingconrad726]

I can’t believe I posted this two years ago. I’ve gotten to the level of buying my own euphonium, which I just realized is the same euphonium that is being used here. I have ordered a Besson Prestige silver gold model. I can’t wait to play it.

[@hesp9942]

I'm a bass trombone player but I still love watching these videos just because it's so good also I've never seen that thumb key on a euphonium before can anyone tell me what it does

[@therearebeesinmyeyesplease9650]

It's just like the key on bass trombones used for reaching notes easier.

[@hesp9942]

@@therearebeesinmyeyesplease9650 well yeah, I figured that, but I'm wondering what it does specifically, like how on bass trombone the first trigger lowers the key from B flat to F and adding the second trigger on top of the first drops it from F to D. I know the valve on the side of the horn drops it from B flat to F, but I've never seen the thumb key on the front before

[@sethbutler4709]

@@hesp9942 It's a main tuning slide trigger.

[@therearebeesinmyeyesplease9650]

@@hesp9942 I think that one is for alternative fingerings so it's easier to play the really fast rising notes.

[@Matonizz]

It's just a main tuning slide key, you press it down, note gets a bit lower in pitch. It's called trigger :)

[@jaymejrjohnson9345]

Hey what type of euphonium are you playing in this video?

[@rezalzalahmusic7605]

what model is that? I love the tone! I'm looking into an instrument to purchase. I'm currently a student in high school, and I've had a Wessex horn for about a year now. I'm looking to pursue music as a career, so I want to look into a better horn. Besson, Yamaha, john packer, XO brass, these are all brands I've looked at. I would especially like one with an intonation trigger system on the main tuning slide. throwing price range out the window, what model should I go for? all feedback appreciated! once again, wonderful videos. your clarity in your upper register is something I continuously strive for. meh, all with practice, I suppose!

[@kaylenseykenss9312]

GameRex i would personally recommend a besson sovereign/prestige or a sterling virtuoso. Both of these brand have a trigger on the main tuning slide and the instruments are just great. I personally play a besson sovereign

[@noahsharp7192]

Hey Matonizz! Awesome video! I was wondering if you could explain to me your thought process on warming down after practicing or performing, i can’t really find a definite opinion of warming down and I’m curious as to whether or not it’s a necessary part of the routine

[@Matonizz]

Lots of opinions on this. The idea is to relax muscles after playing so the warm up is easier the next day. I normally prefer I very extensive warm up and unless I really over do it in a concert, I would not normally warm down. Same time, some of my colleagues that are great players always warm down. It comes down to time management and your personal preference. Hope this helps friend. Best, M

Noah sharp? It marshall, funny I found you here lol!

It is called treble clef and it's written in bass clef because if it was written in treble clef the sheet would have a lot of under aditional lines and wouldn't be practical

[@p1mplul576]

@@rgibeli ah ok thanks for the answer... so you cant compare it to the european standards in sheet music with treble clef?

[@rgibeli]

@@p1mplul576 i'm from spain. I play the trumpet but i have friends who play euphonium and they usually get both clefs depending on the composer or arranjer of the sheet music

[@patrickv.3979]

For secondary school players, there is an option for bass or treble playing. However, in more professional styles, you're essentially required to learn both clefs, as well as another clef, called Tenor clef. Tenor clef is the midpoint between the two, as it allows in-staff playing, but reads as concert pitch notes. You can see all three being used here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gKjQlI1ujZ57r6M
