@abstractGBAM BBb is half the frequency of Bb, which means that it's produced by an instrument that is twice as long. Also, that the difference between positions is twice as long. As such, the positions are the same distance between one another on a double slide BBb trombone as they are on a single slide Bb trombone, while the bell section is twice as long and the various slide crooks add a a bit of length as well.
In short, no, it doesn't "lengthen the instrument way too fast".
@NobleTeamLeader28 i guess some people just have to in order to play low notes like that. I almost have to puff my cheeks playing super low notes on my trombone. I play Tenor trombone by the way. :D
Just look at Dizzy Gillespie, his tone is fine. There are too many brass players who try to change anatomy to a one embouchure fits all approach which takes players back in their growth. Ego is usually the culprit.
@trogdor1432544 When you are playing pedal notes, you have to puff your cheeks. All players know it's a bad habit, but when the range you're in is that low, puffing the cheeks is required
I play bass trombone, I never puff my cheeks, even when I'm in the lower register. If you go to college in music, you will learn that. Like me.... Therefore, puffing is not required, and is a bad and nasty habit that makes you sound like crap.
@nickgamer93 This is really dependent on each individual person. Not everyone's oral cavity is shaped like yours, nor their lips or face. That's great that you don't puff your cheeks, but for some a little bit of a puff is good, as long as they don't look like a blowfish.
1.You can find anything on the Internet these days, try Ferguson music or WWBW.
2.6100-6300$
3.The horn has one valve which lowers it to FF
4.BBb (an octave below the Tenor/Bass trombone).
5.It takes tuba sized mouthpieces usually and the bore of the slide tubes is .547/.594/.602/.622 (quad bore).
6.For me it was somewhere between 6 and 7. and I play both bass trombone and tuba. The positions are the same as a tenor trombone but the embouchure and air support are very different.
Hi I am a young Bahamian composer...This is just a link to a jazz chart i wrote...it features solo trombone...written solo.....youtube.com/watch?v=xxr7L1CHoz8
@SarbearK it makes the whole instrument larger. I take it you have never played band for a school? Cause when the director's teach you how to tune, they tell you that when you, say, pull out your mouthpiece on your sax, it makes a flat note, but if you push in, it makes a sharper note.
@SarbearK Actually the two slides are connected. It's just looped around to make the trombone longer and therefore to play lower. It's just one pipe that loops around again.
Puffing your cheeks doesn't matter once you get to a certain playing level. I've meet professionals who let their cheeks fill up, it makes reaching the lower notes a lot easier. I do it all the time and I've seen it done by the best of the best.
Hey, if you got any questions about the contra, i can help you out, but dont critise the instrument or the player. Its probly someone who has not played a contra before, thats why it sound bad. And questions shoot an email
very true. The only brass I can think of at the moment that isn't supposed to puff the cheeks is trumpet and french horn. A tight little embouchure they have.
@gerardwayissexy360 You're not "supposed" to puff on any brass instrument but it becomes difficult not to in the lower registers of low brass and even french horn. They way I see it is if it sounds good than it is good.
@enclavevideo thats not intierly true......i have friends and play contra when i can. They dont puff the cheeks. This is just for new people because they dont have the ability to relax there embosure without puffing there cheeks. You can play those notes without puff your cheeks on a contra
I love the bass trombone. But I love the tuba more because that is my main instrument. I also play bass trombone. My point was that the tuba is not a useless instrument like it was said to be by superunderline. Why would I attack the bass trombone...my original comment was one of extreme praise of the Contrabass trombones' awesomeness. There is nothing better than an awesome low brass section of trombones, basstrombones and tuba playing controlled, loud and in tune. Nothing better.
Who do you think is heard the most, speaking bass-wise, in the finale of Ride of the Valkyries and the "summit" section of An Alpine Symphony? Answer: The bass and contrabass trombones (written for CB Tbn. in 12' F by Strauss).
Look up the Ride of the Valkyries video with the Mexican orchestra of Jalisco and the BPO excerpt of An Alpine Symphony. You will get my point very quickly.
Im close friends with all members of my tuba section and as the Bass trombonist its necessary, as i am to bridge the gap between trombones and tubas so the sounds mesh beautifully.
Superunderline- I take great offense at what you said. There is no point you being there? Are you an idiot? The tuba is there BECAUSE of its differences. The tuba is like a huge french horn being conical. The tuba is a different kind of loud. I can rattle the walls and ceiling and crack pavement with my huge CC Hirsbrunner and the Bass Trombonist has to blow his ass out his horn just to be heard. You don't know what you're talking about. I'm a pro so I know.
Just because you were offended by his comment about tuba doesnt mean you have to attack the bass trombone. I dont have to "blow my ass out my horn" to be heard.
I played something like that in State Honor Band. Try a tuba mouthpiece. The double pedals come out super easy using a tuba mouthpiece. Also helps to round out the edge just a little. Take it from a professional tubist. I'd love to have a neat toy like that!

not even music..... and if that is u can use just about ne thing to make that much of a crap sound... instead of paying thousands of dollars on that why not ask a fat ass to fart.... same effect
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
true and i do respect that, however not my taste of sound.... o well what ever floats your boat... i just dont think that the sound of the instrument is worth the amount of money someone will pay for it...our world is in enough debt to be spending thousands of dollars on an instrument... and an ugly one at that! what a shame
And you've shown your disinterest by not buying one. If he want's to buy the instrument it's his choice. Who gives a rats ass if you don't like the way it sounds? It's not like you see thousands of double slide contra bass trombone players around? Hardly enough to raise world debt. Or maybe i missed the news reports where the increase of double slide contrabass trombone sales was leading us into a deep global recession.
You do realize that the only way for us to get out of the recession is by buying things... u dont go deeper into debt if the people of the country put money back into the economy... now we know someone here's a retard and you're part of the reason why we're so far in debt
i don't want to turn this into a political discussion, but, he is not the reason we are in debt... the country is so far in debt because of government spending. The only control we have over government spending is the fact that we can vote into office the people that spend that money... and the current president has already doubled the national debt. anyways, you are right, the only way to get out of the recession is by putting consumer money into the economy.
Man do you not think the sound is to do the with player? Whether or not you like the sound you can't blame it on the instrument. It's as much as to do with the player as it is with the instrument. Or maybe in your, perhaps slightly ignorant view, this is not a factor.
ok. put it this way.... if u take two beginner oboists who are equally bad at the oboe,and give one an expensive fox oboe and the other a cheap plastic oboe... the one with the fox will sound in tune and as if he knew something about tuning. and this is a professional instrument...
anyways i never said the player was good... i just was explaining that if u dont know what ur doing u can make an instrument that already sound like crap sound like shit.... ive heard these played professionally and i STILL dont like it... and y is everyone fucking busting a nut trying to trick me into liking this crap? i dont like it and never will
Man what your saying is rubbish. I'm sure a good professional musician could get a good sound from a poor instrument. And in any case your original comment was about sound not tuning. Sound has everything to do with the player ESPECIALLY with WIND INSTRUMENTS. Nobody is trying to get you to like this. just trying to make you see that your arguments make no sense!
Then if you are a pro you should know exactly what my point is about! Mate i'm a professional bass player and i know for a fact that a good musician can get a good sound from any instrument.
But you think that the ONLY way to achieve a good sound is to have a good instrument. What about embouchure and breath support? You call yourself a professional musician yet you seem to have great ignorance over people's ability. The instrument does not make the musician!
embouchure and breath support are both very important roles from a player but u cant just make a crappy instrument play a masterpiece with you alone.... because you will still either not be in tune or it will sound airy or raspy... and i am done with arguing and therefore am not responding any more.
You're stupid! I'm going to tell you a story: 6 months ago, Christian Lindberg came to my city. During the concert, someone asked him why the trombone was so special. He said: "the trombone is not special... It's just a piece of metal! The music is made by the musician, not by the instrument!"
Don't forget that he plays with Conn trombones, that are usually called amateur trombones!
A bad player get's a poor sound from a good instrument!
as I also recall, for brass the music comes from the player (vibrating lips), for woodwinds, its from the instrument (the reed). maybe thats why he thinks that
if ur puffing ur cheeks you are restricing your jaw range. its tough not to do it when playing that low but ur right, ya need to try to keep it tight.
yes, I understand that, but with this particular instrument, wouldn't it be more logical just to use a tuba if your wanting to go that low? tone quality is abig thing....
I honestly just don't get half of the instruments made to go lower than their original instrument.... or higher, without good tone.
I actually played the bass trombone, but gave it up, since I did not want to look like a poser tuba.
Anyways, I'm planning on becoming a professional tubist...
It's because the trombone has a unique sound that people enjoy having in every register. Have you ever heard a tuba in a jazz band? Sounds like crap. Have you heard a bass trombone in a jazz band? Sounds freaking sexy. And go look up "Light My Fire" by Marco Beltrami. There's another purpose of bass trombones.
First off, I played the bass trombone for a while, and I personally did not like the sound. Second off, I play the tuba in the jazz band at our school, and it is freaking epic.
You probably don't like the sound of it because you play the tuba, and can't get the right sound out. Have you listened to any professional players before? I have yet to hear a good sounding jazz band with a tuba in it. The tuba basically just doubles over the bass guitar. If it's really that epic, I'd like to hear it. Though I doubt it actually is.
I do not like the sound of it, because it sounds like when I was a beginner tuba player, and I had a tone that sounded like a hair dryer. That's why I do not care for this instrument.
... So what you're basically saying is that you hate the bass trombone because you suck at it? Mmk... Everyone has bad tone when they start a new instrument. It's pretty much a given when it comes to brass.
check out videos of New Orleans Jazz bands like Rebirth; there is no bass, just a sousaphone, and I think it sounds pretty good...there are ups and downs in both instruments: the tuba has a nice pure tone for good bottom end and the bass trombone sounds great for impacts...you can get a great brassy sound without taking over the entire band like you would if you tried to get that sound with a tuba
Actually I have heard great sounding jazz ensembles that have a tuba the USF Jazz Surge and the WDR Big Band have tuba players. Actually The WDR Big Band has a tuba player and a bass saxophone player! The bass trombone player doubles on tuba, and the low reed player plays bari sax, bass sax, and bass clarinet.
There's quite a point considering tuba makes much more sound. The low range of a bass trombone are very brutal, as you said, not dark. The bass trombone adds bite to the tuba part. I play tuba in many different styles including orchestral playing and when more volume is needed it comes from the tuba, not the trombones same concept in my brassband, and college bands. The only time a tuba could be considered unnecessary is in a quintet.
hey dumb ass you aint sposed to puff your cheeks

true and i do respect that, however not my taste of sound.... o well what ever floats your boat... i just dont think that the sound of the instrument is worth the amount of money someone will pay for it...our world is in enough debt to be spending thousands of dollars on an instrument... and an ugly one at that! what a shame
bananatree94 2 years ago
And you've shown your disinterest by not buying one. If he want's to buy the instrument it's his choice. Who gives a rats ass if you don't like the way it sounds? It's not like you see thousands of double slide contra bass trombone players around? Hardly enough to raise world debt. Or maybe i missed the news reports where the increase of double slide contrabass trombone sales was leading us into a deep global recession.

You do realize that the only way for us to get out of the recession is by buying things... u dont go deeper into debt if the people of the country put money back into the economy... now we know someone here's a retard and you're part of the reason why we're so far in debt
thebotset09 2 years ago
i don't want to turn this into a political discussion, but, he is not the reason we are in debt... the country is so far in debt because of government spending. The only control we have over government spending is the fact that we can vote into office the people that spend that money... and the current president has already doubled the national debt. anyways, you are right, the only way to get out of the recession is by putting consumer money into the economy.

Man do you not think the sound is to do the with player? Whether or not you like the sound you can't blame it on the instrument. It's as much as to do with the player as it is with the instrument. Or maybe in your, perhaps slightly ignorant view, this is not a factor.

ok. put it this way.... if u take two beginner oboists who are equally bad at the oboe,and give one an expensive fox oboe and the other a cheap plastic oboe... the one with the fox will sound in tune and as if he knew something about tuning. and this is a professional instrument...
bananatree94 2 years ago
anyways i never said the player was good... i just was explaining that if u dont know what ur doing u can make an instrument that already sound like crap sound like shit.... ive heard these played professionally and i STILL dont like it... and y is everyone fucking busting a nut trying to trick me into liking this crap? i dont like it and never will
bananatree94 2 years ago
Man what your saying is rubbish. I'm sure a good professional musician could get a good sound from a poor instrument. And in any case your original comment was about sound not tuning. Sound has everything to do with the player ESPECIALLY with WIND INSTRUMENTS. Nobody is trying to get you to like this. just trying to make you see that your arguments make no sense!
aceandyrobb 2 years ago
trust me they cant.....bad quality instruments are for bad quality players.... and i know what im talking about im a pro oboist....
bananatree94 2 years ago
Then if you are a pro you should know exactly what my point is about! Mate i'm a professional bass player and i know for a fact that a good musician can get a good sound from any instrument.
But you think that the ONLY way to achieve a good sound is to have a good instrument. What about embouchure and breath support? You call yourself a professional musician yet you seem to have great ignorance over people's ability. The instrument does not make the musician!
aceandyrobb 2 years ago 6
embouchure and breath support are both very important roles from a player but u cant just make a crappy instrument play a masterpiece with you alone.... because you will still either not be in tune or it will sound airy or raspy... and i am done with arguing and therefore am not responding any more.
bananatree94 2 years ago
You're stupid! I'm going to tell you a story: 6 months ago, Christian Lindberg came to my city. During the concert, someone asked him why the trombone was so special. He said: "the trombone is not special... It's just a piece of metal! The music is made by the musician, not by the instrument!"
Don't forget that he plays with Conn trombones, that are usually called amateur trombones!
A bad player get's a poor sound from a good instrument!

as I also recall, for brass the music comes from the player (vibrating lips), for woodwinds, its from the instrument (the reed). maybe thats why he thinks that

BlueCougar 2 years ago
yes, I understand that, but with this particular instrument, wouldn't it be more logical just to use a tuba if your wanting to go that low? tone quality is abig thing....
I honestly just don't get half of the instruments made to go lower than their original instrument.... or higher, without good tone.
I actually played the bass trombone, but gave it up, since I did not want to look like a poser tuba.
Anyways, I'm planning on becoming a professional tubist...
MilissaMishap 2 years ago
It's because the trombone has a unique sound that people enjoy having in every register. Have you ever heard a tuba in a jazz band? Sounds like crap. Have you heard a bass trombone in a jazz band? Sounds freaking sexy. And go look up "Light My Fire" by Marco Beltrami. There's another purpose of bass trombones.
Don't be dissin' on my instrument.
MadSceve 2 years ago 2
First off, I played the bass trombone for a while, and I personally did not like the sound. Second off, I play the tuba in the jazz band at our school, and it is freaking epic.
MilissaMishap 2 years ago
You probably don't like the sound of it because you play the tuba, and can't get the right sound out. Have you listened to any professional players before? I have yet to hear a good sounding jazz band with a tuba in it. The tuba basically just doubles over the bass guitar. If it's really that epic, I'd like to hear it. Though I doubt it actually is.
MadSceve 2 years ago 2
I do not like the sound of it, because it sounds like when I was a beginner tuba player, and I had a tone that sounded like a hair dryer. That's why I do not care for this instrument.
MilissaMishap 2 years ago
... So what you're basically saying is that you hate the bass trombone because you suck at it? Mmk... Everyone has bad tone when they start a new instrument. It's pretty much a given when it comes to brass.
MadSceve 2 years ago 2
check out videos of New Orleans Jazz bands like Rebirth; there is no bass, just a sousaphone, and I think it sounds pretty good...there are ups and downs in both instruments: the tuba has a nice pure tone for good bottom end and the bass trombone sounds great for impacts...you can get a great brassy sound without taking over the entire band like you would if you tried to get that sound with a tuba
pedromcgriddles 2 years ago
Actually I have heard great sounding jazz ensembles that have a tuba the USF Jazz Surge and the WDR Big Band have tuba players. Actually The WDR Big Band has a tuba player and a bass saxophone player! The bass trombone player doubles on tuba, and the low reed player plays bari sax, bass sax, and bass clarinet.
jacofan12609 2 years ago
bass trombone is a completely different instrument to the tuba,
the obvious difference is the slide, but i'm not just talking about being able to glissando, i'm talking perfect tuning
the bass trombone has a cylindrical bore like any other trombone which means it can be loud and brutal
why do you think composers use it for incredibly loud sections of pieces
and you know in orchestras the tuba pretty much just plays the bass trombone part down an octave... there's no point you being there.
superunderline 2 years ago
There's quite a point considering tuba makes much more sound. The low range of a bass trombone are very brutal, as you said, not dark. The bass trombone adds bite to the tuba part. I play tuba in many different styles including orchestral playing and when more volume is needed it comes from the tuba, not the trombones same concept in my brassband, and college bands. The only time a tuba could be considered unnecessary is in a quintet.
