I love you trombone ♡♡♡

My froon brazil

[@mrhiguy-pz3lf]

can anyone tell me what is the name of the intro music?

[@xHadesStamps]

The first video from you that I saw that has a pinned comment.

[@leosmusicroom824]

The fact that he named it “Snorf” is just the most adorable thing

[@TrentHamilton]

I used to have a cat named Snorf, so that's where the name came from.

[@leosmusicroom824]

Trent Hamilton that’s even cuter

This man makes the contrabass trombone look like a bass trombone with more tubing. This thing is actually HUGE

[@shonnolegario7110]

*drops it* Trent:shoot

[@montysoto8393]

Shonn olegario I laughed when I read that😂

[@emaynard28]

I saw you drop it in failarmy and dude holy shit is all I have to say glad to see the beauty still working

[@blakeorr7604]

This is the most accurate thing i have EVER seen

The contrabass trombone is back, and I remember it! I remember it being one of the many reasons that I initially supported you on Patreon, and I’m so happy that I’m still supporting you. Keep up the phenomenal content, Trent!

[@hewnrai]

Don’t hold it with your tuba again :D

[@adraelsen]

The contabass bass trombone was reason enough but the bonus Glenn Miller made my day!

[@madturklad]

YES

[@jjclark56]

Really got me in the mood

[@Marwarluigi]

Dang the sound of this beast is intimidating! I play tuba, but this is a different animal!

[@astrowolf9971]

Glad to see the behemoth is back! Can't wait to see more videos on the contra!

[@gavinreed7214]

I still can’t stop smiling at the fact that you named it “Snorf”

[@QuestionMarkG0d]

Don't break it again ;)

[@amayasydor2380]

your face of surprise when you dropped it so long ago is engraved in my mind

[@sharkmanyt4431]

It was absolutely heartbreaking when he dropped it the first time. I'm in tears of joy

[@helios5868]

Contrabass HYPE!!! No, for real, getting a new instrument is always awesome and getting out an instrument you already own is awesome too. Together...oh that's a good day. Congrats on getting your baby back!

[@jackrabbit4545]

Wasn’t he comparing it to another instrument and he accidentally dropped it and it like destroyed it?

[@ventarmadness9692]

Jackrabbit yes

[@winstonelston5743]

Ay-yuh, and you should have seen the expression on his face. Carol Burnett couldn't have conveyed that look better! I'm glad to see it's back in good shape, and I look forward to his multi-track videos. I hate to see any instrument damaged, and especially beyond repair.

[@shellshocker6475]

Just go find the video amd watch it...he was comparing to a tuba

[@nikomitrione]

That definitely happened

[@kormagogthedestroyer]

We are not going to talk about that

[@JacobForteTrombone]

I saw this on my homepage this morning and in knew I was going to have a great day. So glad to see the reunification of this man and his contrabass!

[@TracksWithDax]

Congrats Trent!! The original video was flippin' horrifying. So exciting!

[@kermitthemutantlevitatingf7836]

I never knew such things existed. I now know what my next trombone will be

[@ethanspradling]

It's been a long while when we last saw the contrabass trombone! Glad that you have Snorf back and glad to see it once again in working fashion! Have fun playing it! :]

[@TheLowest]

What a rollercoaster of emotions these videos were, I'm beyond happy for you that you have your instrument back.

[@hunteralexander9791]

It’s okay Trent. I’m pretty sure that we all drop an instrument in our lifetime. I dropped my trumpet on concrete will going into warm ups at a competition during marching season :))))))))

[@jfulton-ak]

Congratulations! It is always great to have a cherished instrument repaired and returned. Now to send in one of my woodwinds, that I dropped, to have a tenon pinned when it cracked hitting the floor...

[@morganmcfadden5430]

I remember when he dropped it... it was like when Spider-Man told Mr. Stark he didn’t feel so good....

[@pauls5745]

Trent: this thing is heavy... sousaphone players: hold my beer

[@THines-el9wl]

I read the title and description in German! Thank you very much! Love the video ...

[@waynesteffen8459]

The look on Trent’s face when he gazes upon his beloved...hope Mrs. Trent doesn’t get jealous.

[@bbone1964]

I'm really happy for you,Trent!

[@bzyboy9639]

AYYYYY CONGRATS!!!!

[@Rocjhead118]

Congrats!

[@kristinecarroll5835]

Yay! I am so excited. I missed your contrabass trombone. RIP

[@jamesparlane9289]

Good on you for getting it fixed.

[@oddi_bun]

I have a trombone audition for regional band and I'm so nervous!! It's this Saturday and I have to play my scales, chromatic scale, and my solo. Also you make awesome videos :)

[@oddi_bun]

thanks!

[@enchantedgamer9428]

No need to be nervous. You'll do fine. That is if you know all the required material. My freind did the same thing and turned around and got some of the best positions in the band

[@dyllonross3714]

I did so bad at all state in Georgia, got a 34.7/100 lol

[@Anthony-xc1qv]

Good luck man i made all region and it was fun

[@oddi_bun]

THE WORST PART IS I DECIDED TO USE MY OLD TROMBONE INSTEAD OF MY NEW ONE AND I CAN'T UNDO THAT. I HAVEN'T PLAYED IT IN MONTHS AND I'M NOT USED TO IT, AND IT'S TOMORROW Oh, Lord...

[@kevinsolis7862]

Congratulations

[@JamesDiamondDurant]

I’m glad you’ve had it repaired.

[@nightshifter3162]

I’m IN THE MOOD to see you drop it again

[@Isaac_the_customizer]

I’m so glad the contrabass trombone is fixed and back! :) 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😀😀😀

[@winstonelston5743]

So glad it could be repaired. It sounds---uh---great. Kidding. I may have to look into such a thing myself.

[@mathematics117]

You can tell how much he loves that thing, the love in his eyes when he looks at it. Sucks that you had to be separated

[@jcon5698]

This warms my heart

[@NJEsperantist]

Glad you were able to have it repaired.

[@theapexanomoly5354]

Not gonna lie, the way he said “yeah” right at the end of the video made me laugh. Give me a good little chuckle

[@williamringler9304]

YAYYY you restored it!

[@aidenyork4962]

Trent:”i forgot how heavy this thing is” Me a converted tuba marcher: Ahuh alright

[@tthatggguy]

Glad to see it Trent

[@cakebruh1838]

Trent Hamilton...You are the reason I joined Trombone. C:

[@juanrojas6941]

I’m glad that you got back your trombone 😀

[@SipsNumberOneFan]

Insane idea: You should 3d primt one of these (or a tenor at the least) Putting it together would be like the trombone equivalent of assembling IKEA furniture

[@jonathanj.4800]

He would never have dropped it in the first place were he not entertaining us. Seem to recall he took his eyes off the horn when it fell. It was our fault, and therefore we should all support him. ;)

[@darylynn621]

Fill it with helium ?😉

[@jonathanj.4800]

darylynn621 and therefore it should play higher? Not succumb to gravity?

[@DNKG669]

He also would never had dropped it had he not been possessed to try and hold it upright by a single brace

[@mausisbestwaifu8376]

Yes yes yes i am soooooooooooo happy for you man i said i would buy you a new one sorry i diddnt😔

[@nightlife9907]

*I SAWED THIS TROMBONE IN HALF!!**THASSA LOTTA DAMAGE!!*

[@carlenger9707]

Hooray! Also I just noticed that that is a SNORF branded Contrabass.

[@crusher3413]

Yes the contra has come back to life!!

[@pukalo]

THE BEAST HAS RETURNED

[@tommyharris5711]

Anyone else listen to his intro music with headphones and find it REALLY satisfying?

[@cobalt._.27]

Tommy Harris yes.

[@hollypongratz9879]

Glad it’s fixed!

[@patrickl.2303]

THE PRODIGAL SON HAS RETURNED!!! One could play on the phrase "Where's the beefer"? (meaning the B-flat CB T-bone) To me, one could say that "The beefer is back"! Glad to see you have it back. Now you can start playing those "belch tones" again.

[@johnmayjr862]

That “yeah” at the end tied it together

[@hackermctapper5041]

Gotta love in the mood ❤️

[@BigDogCountry]

3:15 Never heard _In The Mood_ on Contrabass Trombone B4

[@owensmith7530]

The mouthpiece looks like a Vincent Bach 24AW tuba mouthpiece. I used to play one, but I changed to a Dennis Wick 1L for Eb Bass and a Bach 7 for BBb Bass.

[@bdragon1445]

Holy crap, that thing is a shoulder-mounted slide tuba.

[@Europecouldnever]

The amount of times he said we weren't going to talk about the "incident" 😂😂😂

[@wigwagstudios2474]

Everyone: I don’t need no rules!

[@GrantDolanMusic]

Looks like you got a few of those “shipping dents” out as well. Looks good.

[@ES_ETP]

The thing is back

[@Brendan45600]

Hi Trent, watched you a long time now. I'm glad its back with you. Have you fought yourself to play brass instruments?

[@hanj31]

He's definitely getting in the mood here

TRENT, THAT IS ONE HELLOVA TROMBONE.

[@wwemario12345]

In the Mood on contrabass trombone :O

[@brokenwrench1]

there is a band instrument repair school the final exam for trombone repair is they take an old trombone and run over it with a truck lengthwise. your final test repair it to play-ability and looking as close to an undamaged horn as possible . the finished test horn is displayed against a minor repaired horn after a overhaul. so when i saw the damage you showed after the damage i knew the contrabass trombone was not a hopeless cause. i am glad you have it back

[@TrentHamilton]

I'd love to do an actual instrument repair course one day.

[@brokenwrench1]

this location is across the road from the old getzen factory www.badgerstatesupply.com/ they train repairman from all over the US

I'm glad snorf is back in working order again

Haha, wonderful news! :)

HOORAY

[@naught1977]

YES

[@jakejenkins7101]

Hey I have a question for you. I play the tuba, and I just got braces. Will that effect my playing at all?

[@winstonelston5743]

I've been watching Oystein Baadsvik with Fnugg. How do multi-phonics sound on that horn? As an aside, I wonder how a Tuvan throat-singer would sound playing multi-phonics....

[@brianduffy6254]

What is that tune that you included for your outro music? It's nice.

[@theGameBrass]

Love the end of the video. High Bb - ✋*yeah*🤚

[@lisablumenfeld8198]

Can you make a video about that two valve trumpet that's over your left shoulder please

[@dkrapenthusiast7064]

IN THE MOOD

[@mypantsareonfire420]

WOOOOOOOOO

[@Saxshoe]

....yeah!

[@CharlesStaal]

With the slide resistance, just use some lapping compound.

[@cyndie26]

I or someone else may have asked this already, but what need is there for a contrabass trombone if the bass trombone's pedal register aligns with the contrabass trombone's range? And no offense, but wasn't the modern bass trombone made so instruments that large (e.g. bass trombone in E) didn't need to exist? Or is there still a purpose for the contrabass trombone that I am not seeing?

[@kawikapagan4871]

great, i remember when you dropped that trombone, ---but the one guy that disliked this is a dalek
