4 Learning & Playing Tuba/Trumpet/Euphonium/Baritone/Flugelhorn/French Horn/Cornet

[paploothelearned]

I didn't hear this mentioned on the video so I wanted to clarify for a beginner that might be confused: On a trumpet the fundamental is not playable in a normal way (that is, via vibration of the air column), so for any beginner player, the first 6 notes would be read as C G C E G Bb, though for a Bb trumpet is concert Bb F Bb D F Ab. The lower harmonic is available through pedal tones, but these are made in a different way and are too difficult for beginners.

Okay, what about under-tones? A.K.A. "Pedal tones."

[PianoWallaby]

Pedal tones are the "fundamental tones" on your instrument. They are not always themselves producible. In any case you must be very relaxed in order to acheive them. I would say the pedal Bb on a bass trombone is probably the most common usage in brass instruments.
