[Haganeginkafan333]

[rathalosrevenge70]

[footballfanmc]

[Tageine]

[googlemaster6380]

I had an orgasm when he trilled!

[Tgreenfi08]

@googlemaster6380 lol

[swordaen]

Imagine having a big bass trombone and say "Wait, I cant play that low on this." And pull out an Alto, and play a double pedal Bb

[eyeammi]

Sounds like a french horn dubbed over a trombone to me.

[rowdyruff12345]

AWESOME!!!

[mbrsart]

That thing has a nice, sweet tone. I like it :D And that lip trill was epic.

[MrLexington45]

so beautiful.... can u teach me...?

[dudepower100]

its not considered a trombone its considered to be a trumpet

[iamdavid132]

@dudepower100 actually it's a soprano trombone that's often called a slide trumpet but all trombones are just lower versions of the trumpet with slides

[blocklandpilot]

alto trombone never heard of it i have heard of the bass trombone is it the basic trombone used for most band classes

[TriggerTromboniste]

@blocklandpilot tenor are the trombones used at schools

[mongdex]

trombones 4ever!!!!

im lookin for a bass one on a tenor right now:p

[TromboneQueen2012]

It's so cute! :) but I actually love the slide trumpet the best. I call it a slumpet :)

[colinpownz]

everything sounds just like the octive higher...

[madpaintbalerx]

It actually sounds similar to a Flugelhorn, jsut a bit smoother

[Bqxvids]

ive seen a serprano trombone!!!!!!

[colinpownz]

@Bqxvids they are really small xD

[18844lea]

wow. what a great sound!

[NooneEatsCandyCorn]

WTF!! KEEP PLAYING!! Why only 15 second man make this video 5 minutes I think this dude is extremely talented! My Idol!!!!!!

[amrein]

[tboneking5]

[hardplayproductions]

Now that is a tiny trombone!

[colinpownz]

Check the Soprono! It's even smaller :D

as big as a Trumpet

[stutzand000]

go look at a soprano!

[MannDexx]

WOW!

[Jitenon]

Oh man, alto must be so much easier than a normal or a base trombone :S

[atoman88]

wow... i love that lip trill

muahaha i am awaiting the arrival of my professional size trombone so i can use my beloved large shank mouthpeice =D

im a noob so stfu (only 3 years experience)

[srorasco1]

why would order a professional trombone if you only have 3 years of experience that a little stupid

[billpisley]

haha what do you mean by "professional size?" First off I agree after only 3 years thats indeed a bad idea. And I only have 6 years of experience and I'm perty sure my f-attachment Bach 42 is the same size as any "professional trombone"

[philliezfreak]

a bach 42 is professional size...

[billpisley]

There is no such thing as "professional size" is what I'm implying. The size is dependent upon your style of music or certain preferences. For instance, most professional jazz trombonists will play on a small bore straight tenor trombone.

[philliezfreak]

That's true, good point. I think for a student with 3 years experience a smaller trombone would be more appropriate than a Bach 42 or anything with a substantial bore. However, a large shank mouthpiece (and receiver) can be much easier to play on than what is used with typical student trombones. I am a trumpet player, I am just saying what I have observed and tried out myself. Not really comparable with trumpet, though XD I can't pull out my lead pipe (on my traditional piston trumpet at least).

[billpisley]

haha thats cool. Well being a trombone player, I would have to disagree. After 3 years, if your still practicing and enthusiastic about learning the trombone, I say go for it. Upgrade. What really matters is your size and lung capacity. If your in middle school, a bach large bore would not be a wise choice. Student horns are designed and smaller so that it requires less air to produce a good sound.

[lordofdastrings76]

in most cases, yes smaller horns are better in middle school, but in some cases (like mine) i was overblowing my holton peashooter that i played only for 6th grade, then i got a holton tr169 used before 7th grade.

[cj614]

yeah, i switched from a small bore without an F to a large bore with an F during 8th grade summer and i couldnt be happier because now i'm going to pick up soprano trombone and i'm hoping it wont take long for me to start screaming (hopefully)

[joeywright28]

I love alto trombone. Unfortunately I only play proffesional quality and I dont have 3000 bucks to spend after I just bough a Bach LT42TG.

[jazzzz1066]

Life can be so unfair at times.

[joeywright28]

I know, It sucks, but I have to learn on alto first so I guess I can wait to buy a proffesional and buy a little jupiter or something.

[CaymenGoesBOOM]

that guy was owange

[OyonTheAdept]

Don't you mean "ownage"?

[blouistu101]

O_O when you own something you completely do it perfectly or destroy...so technically this guy played amazing and he "OWNED" the part

[torie1122]

that was whack

[licasis]

That is a short slide.

[thygotpwned]

i swear that looks like my gym teacher

[pukanecklace88]

I love the sound of this horn. My buddy purchased a slide trumpet the other day and it sounds dead on like a trumpet, but looks dead on like a trombone that is the length of your forearm.

[acw1227]

He is able to trill in 3rd because he makes use of the technique known as lip trilling. Essentially he uses his air and his embouchure placement to achieve the trill desired

[TboneWertman]

how do u do the trill at 3

[fatpoop619]

Flutter tongue is asume.

[TboneWertman]

what r u talking about

[fatpoop619]

Well either that or incredibly fast trple tongueing. I can't explain either very well but I'll try.

Single tonguing is normal tonguing as in starting and toping notes with the sylables Tah-Tah-Tah etc...

Double is starting and stoping notes like [Tuh-Kuh(the double pattern]-[Tuh-Kuh]-[Tuh-Kuh] etc...

Triple is [Tuh-Kuh-Tah]-[Tuh-Kuh-Tah]-[T­uh-Kah-Tah] etc...

Flutter is like how one would say R with a spanish accent as in RRRRR. Imagine a lion going RAWR!

[fatpoop619]

You know you are fluttering correctly if it sounds like a race car when plyaing the low register. If I didn't do a good enough job you are free to use google.

[froman123456789123]

I thought he was the rock at first

Lol good job bud.

[kidavid77]

Beautiful playing, friend!

[trumpettromba]

nice one!!

[atoman88]

holy shit that guy is good!

[rackas321]

Thats what I play in my school band. WOO! GO TROMBONES!!!!

[dluu13]

an alto trombone?

[rackas321]

Yesh

[dluu13]

wow what kind of school do you go to? I never see those. Maybe the schools here aren't cool enough, or maybe i should just go out more

[rackas321]

I go to Howard Middle school in Orlando,Florida... I also played it in my last school.

[dluu13]

blah I guess it's just cause the school bands up in Canada just aren't that cool

[rackas321]

lol

[rugbyplayer9999]

How many composers write for alto trombones though? What parts did you play?

[rackas321]

Just normal songs like Guantanamera and jingle bell rock.

[bthrun90]

idk why this video only had 4 stars. it was the greatest 15 seconds of my life :P

[dvwilbur]

Too short!!! I want more. That was awesome.

[Bassoonandsax]

A trombone trill!! Cool

[Doombah91]

That would be flutter tonguing, Mark

[zoot69]

No that would be a lip trill dude.

[Doombah91]

Um...isn't that the same thing??

[zoot69]

Nope. Flutter tonguing is done on 1 note by (obviously) fluttering the tongue while buzzing whereas lip trilling is sluring between the harmonics really quick to get a trill.

[Doombah91]

Oh my bad, sorry

[SecretOctopus]

that sounded really good!

[kovaxtromb]

yeahh... great...  want more!!!

[sharkbear]

Who is this? Really solid playing.

[fernandotbn]

Congratulations! Very nice!!!

[tenorbasstbone]

Great sound!!
