Trent, I mean this in the best way possible - you've gone from a tuba to a euphonium! Next up, tenor horn!

[@literally_just_beeb]

Such a weird compliment💀

[@majcrash]

You are looking much healthier. I hope that is the case.

[@schlatta-dirtydeeds9351]

That was my reaction as well, put a smile on my face :)

Yes. I myself am trying to get down to my original weight - 8 lbs 6 oz.

I haven't watched for a while but you look to be in less pain and have lost some weight. I hope you and your family are in good health. Thank you for providing these videos to us Mr. Hamilton.

[@cameronakagi1274]

As a Kansas Citian, you're pronunciation of the Paseo is actually right on point (pa-SAY-o)

[@Android_Warrior]

Well, "Paseo" is a spanish word meaning "to take a walk" so it actually spells (pa-SE-o).

[@TrentHamilton]

Here in New Zealand Paseo is actually a brand of toilet paper.

I actually met the owner 2 years ago at JEN in New Orleans. Very nice guy and the paseo is also in my opinion my favorite trumpet I've ever played. He was really funny and the first thing he brought up was the fact that he cut his finger off while working on an instrument.

Tule, tule, tyttö, nyt kanssani tanssiin Kun meillä on riemu ja suvinen sää! Säkkijärvi se meiltä on pois, Mutta jäi toki sentään polkka! Kun rakkaimmat rannat on jääneet taa, Niin vieraissa kulkija lohdun saa, kun Kuuntelee soittoa kaihoisaa: Säkkijärven polkkaa! Se polkka on vain, mutta sellainen, Että tielle se johtavi muistojen.

I like the ring for the thumb. Now I know that my thumb isn't going to slip off of it like it always does. Also it looks like you lost some weight. Nice job!

[@Telamon8]

My Schiller trumpet has the thumb ring as well, and I have such a hard time getting comfortable with the typical u-shaped bend now; especially when kicking out the slide, having a ring makes for a much nicer movement.

Had my OLDS and Sons TIS model overhauled by them, still play it and truly is the best horn I’ve played after they did their magic on it!

[@natenallmusic]

BAC horns are awesome!

[@51362879]

For $3000.00 US, they should be. Lol

[@brokenwrench1]

B A C company bought out the Kanstal company in 2019 which bought out a lot of the F E Olds tooling and patents from the bankruptcy court in 1980'. i can see the influence of the F E Olds special trumpet in the horn you played. any pro model trumpet with a copper bell will have a warm rich tone in all ranges GC Conn and F E Olds built horns with copper bells. i love the sound of the model you covered

[@tsori8717]

I noticed their website specifically mentions this horn was made with tooling from " a respected trumpet maker in anaheim, CA" which would be Kanstul of course. I was sorry to see Kanstul go, but watching this video makes me glad to see the legacy of craftsmanship continue.

[@joshuathedank9661]

Yeah rip kanstul but this is good

[@brokenwrench1]

@@tsori8717 Zig was one of the last of the master horn builder whe begane his aprentishship with F E Olds in LA in 1952 . Olds was an open shop you built your 12 horns per day and was paid $2.50 per horn that passed inspection and only $0,50 each for anymore than that. Zig had a large family to support so he was building 40 to 42 horns per day because he needed the money.. after Olds went out of business in 1979-1980 Kanstul bought out the tooling from the FE O;lds bankruptcy court and began building horns under the Kanstul name in 1981. Zig died in 2016 which lead to the sale of the company assets to BAC in 2019..

[@tsori8717]

@@brokenwrench1 thanks for the info. I was aware of most of the story apart from the the olds bankruptcy and the pay by horn! I had the pleasure of corresponding with Zig briefly when I bought my Kanstul horn back in 2004. I was a introduced to him and his instruments by the late Mike Tunnell who was a teacher of mine at the time . Zig really bent over backwards to make sure I was happy with my trumpet. And to this day, it is a truly fantastic horn.

[@njmaugbill]

I bought a Kanstul Powerbore G bugle in 2004.It's the best bugle I've ever played. (I've been playing for 50+ years!). in 2018, I purchased a Kanstul Coliseum model Trumpet, and I'm loving it. I'm glad you are keeping Kanstul line alive...

I got to try this horn at NAMM 2020. With the copper bell and all I expected it to play all dark, but man if you step on the gas that thing lights up like crazy. I think it has an interchangeable leadpipe system, too?

[@carsaboy6544]

[@ichirofakename]

Naïve question: why the copper bell?

[@uni-byte]

Sex appeal. Higher copper content in the brass produces a warmer quality to the tone. Probably not the thing for a fist chair in Big Band, but first chair in a Symphony Orchestra, or a lyrical soloist might want to have one around.

You should test out a Monette trumpet....they are the best imo.

[@michaelfoxbrass]

Very fine horns indeed. Many consider them the best ever made. I’d suggest that their prices are a HUGE barrier for maybe 99% of all players. BAC is making truly excellent horns which while priced at a premium for the top-tier line, are still quite affordable for most players. I’ve found the BAC horns to also have excellent characteristics for blending in with the full trumpet section.

[@NarutoSages]

Could you do a video on euphoniums I'm looking around for what would be the best brands but I don't know how or what to pick.

You should google Algirdas Matonis. Euphonium. He is a pro eupho player and last year did comparison tests on euphs. Trent is great too, but Algirdas specialises in eupho. A great player and teacher.
