Bones West - "Makin' Whoopee" Massimo Pirone, Bass Trombone

[ManIhTwoLinJay]

Wow he has a great sound!

[Polishjazzman]

Beautiful work.

[Sadie78550]

Man, that's an epic Kanstul. I personally didn't like them much, but maybe sometime in the future I'll pick up one and fall in love. :p I hear a lot of good things about those horns, then again they could be perfect for some people and a nightmare for others.

He's got a nice smooth tone, nicely done. :)

[bigbandtrombone]

ya. nice sound man. great piece, good work:)

[TheStevetrom]

so who did the arrangement ?

and, more importantly, is it available?

I'd love to re-arrange it for a (uk) brass band - with me playing the solo of course :-)

[bassbone21]

I played this with our big band, such a fun tune to play. Nicely done.

[riflebone]

Nice job man!

[km426]

oh man thats sound is like cream!

[rimouski67]

Nice job...but I"m hoping he's playing on an unfamiliar horn...a lot of his second-position notes, especially B naturals, are VERY sharp.

[willissk73]

Yes thats a Kanstul 1662 :o)

[Trombs77]

the best Bass Trombone

[Ruigekerel]

I think it's a kanstul...

[meghybasstrombone]

man you are so good.i like your sound.what mouthpiece do you have?i play with Bach 1G and my sound isn't so dark and powerfull.peace bro

[BassBonerLOL]

You should see if you can get your hands on a shilke 60, if thats to big get a 59 or even a 58 cause shilke is definately the way to go with dark and rich tones. I use a shilke 60 but that requires a lot of air. Check them out man

[Burgerbob22]

@BassBonerLOL Hope you're not talking to the guy in the video!

Also, the 60 is pretty much a paperweight, i hope you've realized.

[musicnerd1023]

@Burgerbob22 how is it a paperweight? not being snide here. . . I really am serious I love mine

[Burgerbob22]

@musicnerd1023

Try some smaller mouthpeices, or more modern ones in the 60 range. The 60 is just not a great design.

[maxbone100]

@Burgerbob22

Hi I'm Massimo Pirone and I play a special mouthpiece desinged by me and veri close to Minick L also see my video with two bass trombones me and Bill Reichenbach

[Burgerbob22]

@maxbone100

Thanks for the reply!

I'll check it out.

[badtaz9191]

@BassBonerLOL what???

[swiftninja1234]

lol it shows that he just stopped by mid end ish lol. but I like his sound, the overtones in his lower register aren't dead sounding and it's not harsh.
