Yes.

Oh you are totally right!

Ikr

And make 30k a year? Lol hes too good to be some glorified babysitter

agreed

+Tony Rivera Thanks! We're so glad you liked it.

You heard contrabass? Beautiful sound.

But it should never sound vulgar and brutal (to easy to do)

It's the Beast, of the Bass Bone......nuff said...

@@ashleythorpe7933 LOL

even his breathing goodness

Are you stupid or something? No musician would give up playing their instrument just to do something else. There are plenty of voice actors who still play their instruments.

#missedjoke

I swear to god I've seen your channel 3 times on different videos today.

He is so ridiculously good at the bass trombone that even that competes with the greatness of his voice (and yes I know that you didn't necessarily mean this literally)

No he's bass.

leo ?

crocodile rock t

No he's Christian Jones

I used to have a science book that contained instructions for making a "brass" instrument out of a garden hose.

Not just closed pipes. Flutes are open pipes and they manipulate harmonics just as much as brass instruments.

@@sanstheskeleton2023 and any instrument that is tuned. Strings, mallets, bells. Its a fundamental of using calculus to explain waves that arent sines of any kind using the fourier series.

@@jorgepeterbarton All instruments manipulate harmonics in one form or another. I was talking specifically about flutes and brass, where standard technique is that you use harmonics and adjust them for tunefulness, either with fingerings, or lipping around imperfect valve combinations.

TheTElleyvision You've got this backwards. As an open pipe, the flute has access to all the of the harmonics. When I practice harmonic excersizes on flute, I hit the octave, the 12th, the fifteenth, and so on. Not just the 12th, the 17th, and up. However, if you were to take a clarinet, it only has access to the odd partials, as it is a stopped cylindrical pipe.

XD

HAHA my senior be like...

I play tenor with an f key and I’m so jealous of bass trombone I want one

Facts

Of course

Literally sawtooth wave

Trumpet player here, it's not very difficult

Adachi I suppose as a string player, it's difficult for me to grasp an instrument in which you cannot physically see most of the changes in pitch. On my viola, I know where the notes are just by looking at the fingerboard. For brass players, it's much more tactile. That's part of why it seems difficult to me

I play both cello and trombone, and I'll say trombone is much easier. Why? Intonation. With string instruments intonation is so minute. Intonation is much easier on brass instruments. Think about it this way: On trombone there are 7 slide positions (6 with an F-Attachment). This gets a little more complicated since different partials aren't exactly in tune (for example, F4 in first will be sharp, and that whole partial has to be played slightly lower than other partials. Ab4 is very flat, making it pretty much unplayable in first position). On cello you have pretty much a different possible position for every half step, and they are all of varying distances (i.e. the closer to the bridge the closer the positions). That's further complicated by string crossings. Your slides have to really be on point to be in tune. I also play a little bit of trumpet. I can "see" the notes since I visualize the fingerings as trombone slide positions (trumpet is just a trombone taken up an octave). As a cello player I'm not even given the luxury of seeing positions. Anyway, that's just my opinion. Edit: I kind of forget to mention what exactly I meant by minute intonation. Basically, on cello smaller movements lead to much larger changes in intonation than on trombone.

metromatician I see. Maybe I should have been a trombonist then. I mean, string instruments are definitely very difficult, but as I mentioned before, something about not being able to SEE where the notes/proper intonation are seems daunting. I guess it's not as bad as I imagine it.

Brass is harder....end of story xD

Thanks for watching, we're glad you think so!

im with you on that one i have played both as well

I play tuba and soon bass trombone for my highschool's jazz band. Can't wait!

eyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

hambone h what kind of tuba?

Me tooo!!!! I play tuba for concert and soon bass trombone for jazz

I love the smell of trombone in the morning

It depends more on the player than just the instrument.

+John MinionGamer I think they were talking about the song.

+John MinionGamer wait, nevermind. you probably knew that. I commented that before he played Jupiter.

That section of Jupiter is near the end, where tye violins and glock play shimmering arpeggios while the trombones, euphonium, and tuba play the chorale theme. It is not the same as the chorale led by the horns and violins in the middle of the piece. This particular section starts with the low brass, then the trumpets finish the theme, them the triumphant music flares up and the piece ends.

Alex Burger-Roy it's so good

We're happy to hear it! Thanks for watching and sharing!

+Philharmonia Orchestra (London, UK) what model is that trombone?

Sebi It's a Conn 62H. If you're looking for a nice bass trombone, look no further. EDIT: Here's one if you like: www.wwbw.com/Conn-62H-Bass-Trombone-463276.wwbw

same!!

oh, look at the ipad app...

Gabriel Kyne Thank you for watching, it's nice to hear such a positive response!

We do have evidence that people use our instrument films to choose new instruments and we have heard from and met several people who chose their instruments with these films. So we are sure there are some young trombone players out there being inspired by this video.

You're most welcome.

For anyone who is wondering, that is the theme from Jupiter, which is part of The Planets, by Gustav Holst.

+Gustavo Previatto Thank you for watching!

James Heynes 😂😂😂

Yeah I thought about that one too the first time I heard this piece. It is an excerpt from Prokofiev's Montagues and Capulets. One of my fav pieces

MiNameisJäger Specifically Dance of the Knights

It is a bit interesting, to see what you were only a couple of years ago. I totally don’t expect imperial march anymore, since I know a lot more orchestral repertoire.

This is a common joke amongst low brass players whenever Prokofiev is on the docket. Here's an example: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/j9eVgpeHp83Woac.html

This is 3 years too late, but if i could request right now, it would be Gran Cassas and toms and how they go together. Thank you for all these super useful videos

Thanks for the feedback! We're so glad you enjoyed it.

I'm a very player too

@@oldmotherbasesoldier7835 lmao

We're glad you got something out of the series!

Thanks very much Marcos, we're glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you very much!

Thank you very much for your kind words, David! Do let us know if you have any ideas for instruments we haven't covered yet, as we'll be making some new instrument films soon! Thanks for watching!

well... since you ask - Theorbo, Guitar, Mandolin (former used a lot in Baroque music, the latter 2 in Mahler, some modern things) - just a thought.

Contra bass trombone?

trombone is the best instrument in world

+Ashton ortiz agreed

+John MinionGamer agreed

John MinionGamer not good enough fr your profile picture😡😤😡
