For anyone wondering about the holes covered by his right hand fingers, they're a modern invention made to fine tune some notes, because the notes in the harmonic series are a bit higher or lower than the same notes in 12-tone equal temperament, so the holes are now included so they can sound more in tune to our modern ears.

Like others, I wish you had discussed the use of the vent holes and how they affect each pitch in the partials.

"Trumpets were the Ferraris of the 17th century." Classic trumpet mentality 😂. Quality video

He does not address the topic of vent holes at all.

I didn't know Arthur Weasley was a such a good trumpeter!

If you are interested in the holes on the trumpet, they are use to finetune the notes. As the notes go higher the notes are detuned. I believe that those holes later developed into actual valves. The same situation is with the natural horn.

Finding teachers with the necessary historical knowledge is very difficult. You have a very important role in society.

I came here looking for an example of the clarion trumpet used in the Brandenburg concertos. I had no idea that the recorder was used instead of the traverso, but of course it was; 😵 it makes so much more sense to have a flute with a little more carrying power. Bravo! Lovely playing! 👏

...and what about the function of the small holes? he didn't talk about it...

If you drop it and it lands wrong is it baroque-en?

David Blackadder is an amazing name :3

Wow. Such incredible control and fluidity! Interesting history, as well. Thanks.

David sounds amazing as always! Very nice way of explaining!

Time 4:15 *The natural trumpet in F was replicated in more compact form* as a configuration of the U. S. Field Trumpet 1892, which used two loops in the tube to shorten the net length (versus the Baroque orchestral trumpet, which used only one loop with small vent ports for finessing pitch).

It sounds lovely. So clear and robust.

Bark was a great composer.

When did Mr. Weasley begin playing trumpet?

But, how does the instrument work? It looks like he covers holes with his right hand. A tour of the thing would have been nice.

Having a listen and some informative history I so want one of these now -!

Wonderful !!!!

The baroque trumpet sounds incredible.

I can't help myself, but "Make way! Make way for the King!"

you should make a video of how the trumpet develops over time, featuring various valved trumpets

I really love "The art of the baroque trumpet" (Nonsuch [label]) Edward Tarr is ace. The book "Heroic Art of Trumpet and Kettkedrum playing" by Ernst Altenburg (1795) is a fun read. There is a Berlin Post stamp with the score of the 2nd. Brandenburg and a pic. of Gottfreid Reicha holding his horn like trumpet. You can clearly see one tone hole.

Excellent, thank you very much

Fabulous!

very nice

fascinating!

Fast paced drinking game: Take only a swig of beer each time he vocalizes his pauses. Falling down drunk in three minutes or less.

More playing from you guys on these videos!!! :)

Great Player!

I learned more about the trumpet in last 7 minutes then I have in the past 41 years.

Great explenation!

This is how the sci show guy will look in 20 years

So cool!

Allison Balsom, the great British trumpeter, plays this and she knows how to use the vent holes.

I’m sure there’s a cunning plan in operation.....love the notes it produces.

Great playing at 5:33

Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment Bach wrote various parts for this instrument.

Isn't it funny that modern compositions (especially soundtracks) "mimic" Baroque melodies and we immediately connect that sound to that time and circumstance... but it's not because it was a "style", it was because the instruments back then literally couldn't do anything more variant?

Good video, batter than many on this series, where the players almost seem to only know things about their instruments that they got from reading the first line on the Wikipedia entry, or else they are so in love with self-derogatory bits of doggerel about their instruments that they present them as fact (much in the way that airplane pilots love to say things like their aircraft 'glides like a brick' even though they know that is very untrue). My only real criticism of this video is the lack of mention of the presence and function of the finger holes, and failure to actually mention the term 'clarino" when discussing the upper range playing, and failure to really describe how the much longer natural/baroque trumpet tubing, compared to modern trumpets, is necessary in order to allow the instrument's clarino range to fall into a musically useful range.

Where's the spit valve? Don't tell me you have spin it over to drain the spit out.

The man has amazing control, practices almost constantly, and has a natural talent.

Did I miss you explain the holes on the side? This looks like a a perfect no moving parts for the pbone company. And for hobiest like me with tubing and time.

what about the cornetto? was it previous or did they both coexist?

Nice Bach passages

I like these videos except for the fact that I can hear other people talking in the background of every video done in this style.

Thank you for discussing J.S. Bach.

I love the higher register of teh baroque trumpet! 😐

Why am I not seeing any Blackadder jokes?

Bellissimo

The royal Swedish mounted band uses them!

lol, bit off topic but it seems so weird to me hearing other people's voices in between the shots. While you're filming these great videos do people just chatter on in the background? or is a secretary office nearby? =D

The Baroque Trumpet is also twice the length of a Modern Trumpet

What is the ball like thing on the bell called, and what's it for?

Like just because of 1:56

Mr Blackadder! Mr Blackadder! ...I got a tunin' plan!

Nice.

Excuse me, can anyone explain what the holes are for?

This would have been interesting if I hadn't just watched the ginormous contrabassoon vid, it makes you immune to being impressed by normal sized instruments.

It looks like the trombone and trumpet were fused together

good luck miles

I bet it’s a green screen on [4:13]. Notice the trumpet is cut off a little.

What about Vivaldi’s trumpet concertos?

I’d argue that one trumpet player declaring your arrival with a fanfare is still more of a status symbol than a garage full of Ferraris.

Create a modern baroque trumpet that (instead of holes) has valves

1:30 Somebody edit titanic badly played on flute or epic sax guy here please.

I have heard many times when I was in any class or band that relates to music is that the first trumpets look so much like a trombone. It kind of seems weird though! I like it! But I am wondering what trumpets looked like before the Baroque, like in the Bible periods. I know in Scripture it talks about trumpets, flutes, and cymbals. So it is kind of making me curious how instruments looked like back then.

How does he vary the notes? Just by breathing harder or softer? I don't see any hand movement

They need to use these trumpets in the Studio Ghibli Orchestral shows.

No way, this guy is in the BLACKADDER family tree?

How I love Bach

Fuck trumpet, this guy's last name is Blackadder? I am speechless.

i spent all my money on one of these, now im baroque

0:50 is what you want

A new Baroque trumpet. Does that mean we still live in a Baroque era? :D :D

humming sound in the studio...

Thank God for piston valves.

Trombone?

Was Haydn's Concert written for this trumpet?

Brandenburg #2, if anybody doesn't know.

Who the heck was chatting away in the background? Doesn't she know you're recording??

If I had one of those, I'd name it Obama. "Hey guys, look at my new Baroque, Obama"

I Baroque my trumpet when it fell, but it didn’t sound nearly as good as that.

You didn't mention that all folk tunes can be played on these (made of wood to heard livestock). Especially, the low range of the trumpet (5' long) was used to play well-known tunes in the round, such as "Row, Row, Row Your Boat", "Brother John", "The Farmer in the Dell" etc. Since triadic chords are created (and are perfectly in-tune as opposed to the 22 cents sharp Pythagorean-tuned fixed pitched instruments), they are the basis of harmony in our modern scale. No one knows this. You ought to play these tunes on short trumpets to demonstrate how old this is. All of these tunes in the round which survive in children's tunes clearly show the fanfare motif of rising triads.

It’s called a Bork trumpet

I definitely prefer baroque trumpets over modern ones.

Like Trombone

When he plays it why it look like he trying to eat the mouthpiece

When was it invented (Specific year)

a trumpet without valves, and having only one harmonic series... is that not a bugle? its just a bugle that hasn't been coiled as tightly. and don't tell me about conical vs cylindrical bore.... i still think its a bugle.

It’s quite shiny Me: ............

No need to worry about stick valves anymore

Can anyone tell me how to find 5:35 in a piece?

Dang why is he shoving the mouthpiece so hard into his face

It has to be said for all of the authenticity and that, Bach would probably have murdered for a valve trumpet in his orchestra. I myself was a trombone player once, so we had an instrument way back in renaiscance times that could play all of the notes, and the ones inbetween which neither a baroque nor a modern trumpeter can do :)

But can it play the lick?

Wait. Wait. ...Blackadder?

Nowadays it is the sound system you have.

sounds like sunday morning
