lol i found a valve trombone in my schools band room 2day...i play trumpet but i figured out how to play the valvetrombone....

[peterDiglin]

@9musicman7 cool what make is it?

[SackFulloApplez1993]

Ohh how I miss my trombone. 

[b0n3z3z]

Gah! Help me convince my band director valve trombones are a real instrument that aren't just around for brass players who don't want to learn slide positions! They have their own sound, and were more popular than slide trombones for awhile and still are in some countries!

[peterDiglin]

Yes, alot of people consider them like that just because they are not main stream. What model of instrument do have?

[b0n3z3z]

@peterDiglin None right now. I'll be playing a school instrument when Jazz band starts, but I am looking at getting my own.

I normally play baritone/euphonium but neither instrument really does Jazz, and I started out on slide trombone in 5th grade, but I like valve trombones so that's what I'll play for Jazz band.

@b0n3z3z

cool, there is'nt too much choice out there though, in an ideal world I would buy a top of the line getzen valve trom because the cheaper ones have a few issues will intonation

[TenorClef1971]

Nice playing/tone there. A lot of trumpet guys seem to double on the valve trombone as the transition is easier than having to learn slide positions. I'd assume your playing a Bb valve trombone......as opposed to the C valve trombone which makes the transition slightly easier for Bb readers to Bass Clef.

@TenorClef1971

thanks yes it's a Bb instrument, That was recorded a while ago when I first got the horn (I think/hope that i have got better since then) I heard an album with Stan getz and Bob Brookmeyer (valve tromb) and got inspired a few years ago, he is certainly something to aspire to

[SalPedi]

Great video!... I"d like to learn to play a valve trombone . Can you suggest a good inexpensive trombone? any help would certainly be appreciated. thanks.My email is: salpedi@verizon.net

[JUDYXYC]

A better sound than a trumpet!

[micropope]

is the valve trombone a Bb instrument?

[peterDiglin]

@micropope Hi there yes it is a Bb horn

[micropope]

@peterDiglin Sweet! 4 more instruments I can play on top of the trumpet XD

[micropope]

@micropope sweet! 4 more instruments I can play on top of the trumpet XD

[peterDiglin]

Look at my other video marked valve trombone and my other horns,

[bennythewayfarer]

what mouthpiece do you use here? is that the one it comes with? i think you've sold me on the jupiter it has excellent sound.

[peterDiglin]

@bennythewayfarer , thanks, yes I use the standard one, it did play a little sharp on D and C# but i think I had acclimatised to that, I really like the horn and wish had got into it earlier and had more time to practise

[elpoder08]

Is this a Jupiter 528L Valve trombone in Bb? If so, I have the exact same one. I, too, bought it brand new. And like you, I was very upset when I saw a King sold for pennies in a jar. Saddest day ever.

[euphi451]

yeah...its ok, but why you dont play it on euphonium??

[georgealexander]

Hi Peter, I bought a Weril valve bone in C for use in a bigband it saves me transposing, I have to say it's is the worst instrument I have ever owned, However the Stagg in Bb is not at all bad for its price.

[peterDiglin]

yes valves only, its a a jupiter, i bought it new, I had just got it when i posted the video and i have realised that D and C# are very sharp, it's got a nice tone, I am feeling a little annoyed today though because i just noticed a beautiful selmer valve trombone online that has just sold for next to nothing, i would have given my right arm to have it

[cleosimble]

is this strickly valves or is it a superbone and has a moveable slide to?

[SirTanqMan]

Not bad..
