I love how they have a treble clef on the counterweight of a TROMBONE

KZfaq knows me well. I know nothing about trombones, I got this recommended to me, liked the video for sure.

...is my preferred lubricant, In the music world and beyond." Erm.

mouth of euphomum killed me

"the lubricant i prefer in and out of the music world" LMAO

Sooooo glad my old man bought me a Conn 88H when I was in high school. 44 years later I wouldn't trade it for ANY other horn. It's truly one of the greatest trombones ever made.

Doesn't seem like it sounds much worse than a typical student model. Certainly very viable for a beginner, and it looks like the case holds up. Very unlike the trumpet which seemed mainly fit for the pits of hell.

the 1 dislike is the guy that made the trombone

still has a better tone than any of the trombones in my school xD.

This guy thinks that trombone sounds bad? I have one that sounds like a big metal kazoo.

i know the perfect accessory for this... a lead tester.

The cheapest trombone is rusty and free.

This was in my recommended, and I have no idea. I know nothing about trombones or do I care about them. But I have to say I love this guy, don't understand what he's talking about, but he seems great so I subscribed, cheers trombone fella

i bought a trombone for 8 bucks at a flea market

Look up trombones made by Stagg. Significantly more expensive (my student model was $400), but comparable quality. The slide, in terms of corrosion, was actually worse. My spit turned green, because that's the colour brass corrodes as. With a light tap I completely bent the spit valve out of position. The Case was also awful in its own unique ways, with the handle coming off and all the padding actually being empty space, resulting in a massive case for no real protection. Upon getting it out of my life, rather than donating it to my local high school's music department, I donated it to the drama department. It was better served as a prop that could be bumped and pushed around without fear of damage. The music department actually *rejected* it, a free horn for a cash-strapped music program, because of its quality. As a result, I not-so-endaringly for most of its use called it the 'ghetto-bone'.

I'd like to have seen it side by side with a much better trombone.

I'm sorry . . .did he say AN case?

I'll be honest I just clicked this vid cus I saw a Trombone. I heard you play in the beginning and was like "wow this guys shit..." then later on in the vid you called out all the stuff I heard on the trombone so the fact you can hear the garbage emitting form that disgrace makes me happy. I revoke my previously incorrect statement,

This is clearly a instrument for kids that are just starting, the gloves gave it away.

Maybe you should have played a few licks on this horn and then on a "proper" trombone so the viewer could hear the difference...

I love your sense of humor, I was laughing for a good part of the video.

I'd call it a tin slide whistle that doesn't even measure up to my original trombone in it's dinged up, home done soldered together, bent slide state my mother bought new for me in 1967.

This guy is like the Sean Connery of the brass instrument world. I love it!

I am a grade 4 trombone player who has played for two years and i recently stumbled upon your channel, by far the most helpful yet. I think that the triple tonging video was very helpful so thank you for that, keep up the good work.

I gotta love watching TH’s back wall collection of instruments grow, in the videos following this one after December .

NEVER TRUST AN INSTRUMENT THAT CHANGES SHAPE WHEN YOU PLAY IT...

Why does it have a treble clef sticker?

World's cheapest tuba/euphonium next?

I loved the visual festival part. Thanks for making my hangover go away from all the crying an laughing that occurred. You rock.

Why does this keep showing up in my recommended ! 😂

I don't even question what videos I end up in on KZfaq anymore. Good video, Trent.

I don't regret this video being in my recommend. Good Job.

"Slide Mix; my favorite lubricant both in the world of music and out of it." - Trent Hamilton 2018

Even though I'm not a Trombone player, your exposition of this Trombone in this video is absolutely glorious. Congratulations.

Trent's videos are always fun. This one is hilarious!

as a player myself, the thing that bothers me most is that treble clef decal

What is remarkable to me is how good you make this shabby horn sound. You'd make playing the phone book sound fantastic.

Hmmmm... thats a nice $80 case you have there. And I see it even came with a free trombone. What a bargain!

Swap mouthpieces with something that is usable and larger, might fix some intonation issues if the instrument and improve quality. Overall seems like it would be good for marching :) probably the only practical use though.

that trombone is a 10000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000% MISTAKE AND A DISGRACE TO ALL TROMBONES

Our directors 10 year old daughter joined us in pep band one day. She brought her own trombone, which was a smaller version, but also plastic and purple.

Who else caught the slide-o mix joke?

it comes with tiny gloves im fuckingf crying

"favorite lube both in the music world and out of it"

You make it sound good to my ear!

If a plastic trombone is better than this, then you know something's wrong.

this is my favorite youtube channel

You are so goddamn sarcastic in every thing you say I love it

You are good on all of the instruments I have heard you on but somewhat better on trombone and baritone. Thank you once again for the informative and entertaining videos.

Would you say it was a rusty trombone?

There is a trombone and trumpet at my school band room that are literally made entirely of plastic

that's the trombone my school gave me to play

I'm a Bass Clarinet player and even I can tell how bad this sounds.

I dunno why I like this channel so much I'm not even a brass player

I love this "Worlds Cheapest (insert instrument name here)" series. You get to see quality manufacturing such as the "Mouth of Euphomum".

You have the best humor ever

I think the better thing that come out of this is the mouth piece box, it just seems more fancy then it should be

It sounds very sharp and also very bright. Sort of airy or breathy even

god, it sounds as if there was a dead animal inside it, make it stop

Great display piece, wall hanger, restaurant/bar/pub decor.......

I don't know much about music, but I do like this channel.

I think the treble clef on the counterweight is a great touch.

This completely gives me nostalgia of my first trombone

A glove and box review too? How exciting!

This or the world's cheapest trumpet: which is less worse?

Why was this recommended to me at the side of a Corvette ZR1 review? Not complaining though that's a really cool vid you got there. thumbs up :)

Oh hey I bought one of these once. We used it as a prop for a film. Works great as a prop! I can vouch for the fact that the slide feels like you're scraping material off, though.

Thanks! I was about to by that one instead of a Bach for band class back in 2018!

5:00 I love how the first image is "MADE IN CHINA" XD

sick video!

Thank you for providing this public service. It would prove your point even more to the un-initiated if you played those excerpts back-to-back with a quality instrument.

not a trumpet person at all, never played one, and it sounds just fine to me.

Great companion video to the "world's cheapest trumpet". Thanks!

Very cool Video. I play trumpet and trombone and its pretty fun. Also I just subbed

This came in a recomended for a nintendo switch video. That's incredible, that is hillarious.

Gotta love some of that euphomum.

This came up in my recommended very interesting haha.

I did enjoy the review , i myself do play trombone and have had a selmer largo , king 4b, and for the last 35 years have played on a Reynolds Contempora w/ red brass bell and an Argenta solid nickel silver

It seems like it's guaranteed to make the player "clam" a few notes! 🙂 You make it sound much better than any student could, yet it still seems like it would serve best as a wall decoration. (The person could brag, "and it actually can be played!") I'd like to hear a side-by-side comparison, of the same piece, between this cheapie and a really fine instrument. In fact, it would be interesting to hear a quality MID-PRICED "student" instrument, (say $400-500), compared, too! Great videos, Trent! You are obviously a virtuoso brass player.

I love that people realize what the meaning of true brass music is, I play the Trombone myself, And I have a passion for the sound of wind instruments, They mean alot to me

the slideshow sold me

I love how when you play a cheap instrument, a slideshow starts with pictures of everything wrong with The Cheap Instrument.

If it doesn't fit, you must acquit.

The quality lapping air tightness of the joints and slide contribute greatly to the ability to phrase well. I picked up a trombone at a pawn shop that they just wanted to get rid of. I was able to seal a leak in one of the joints, but I had no remedy for the poor tolerances in the slide. It played a little better.

Basically in life, you get what you pay for.

Beautiful

I am a euphonium player and I am so hurt that they didn't change the spelling on the box, they just kept euphomum

If this is the same company, I have a similar model with an F trigger. It was gifted to me by a friend, and I'm getting some okay tone out of it, albeit being 7 years removed from regular trombone playing. I'm still grateful.

wow i have never listened to his intro before with headphones holy crap the stereo

“An case” You ruined my morning.

I like how the mouthpiece box says “mouth of euphomum” 😂

Maybe they put Grease in the slides that's why there are black oils in its slides,the grease is very dangerous for the Trombone's slides and even on its players..

That mouthpiece box is the same box as my tuba mouth piece... Best mouthpiece I have ever owned

i've played trombone for 2 years and i almost died watching this because of the pictures

So its just another instrument of torture...

An case

I am a trombone player too and really enjoy your videos

because of you I found my passion playing trumpet and hopefully the euphonium now I'm the second best trumpet player in my school and I'm only in 7th garde

"If the glove don't fit you must acquit"

I would melt the "Trombone" into brass, send it to Yamaha or Jupiter and say, "Here make a trombone out of this, this was once a hunk of brass that was not a trombone."
