  • Very Impressive!

  • It wasn't seven octaves it was just seven well more like 5 or six correct notes

  • Last one doesn't count :p

  • Oh! you should play the fucking trumpet dude! you're a disgrace to all of us that play trombone! worst tone quality of all time!!!!!

  • @demenichugz3 its not like you could pick up a tronbone and do that instantly with beautiful sound. You have to work at it, like I do, ( and i cant do that... Im in middle school )

  • Next!

    

  • But otherwise this is a good display of range and for all haters, this is the second best tone I've heard that high (first being somebody who does it for a living) but this guy did a good job

  • @guitarboyemk yeah. good display of range and extremely poor musicianship! if you practice correctly range will develope naturally along with GOOD tone...clearly you and the guy playing should start playing lead trumpet in a Big Band at a middle school or high school level somwhere. And for fuck sake listen to CHARLIE VERNON!!! The dude can just as high and low as this wannabe bone player but with EXQUISITE tone.

  • @gaelicwop his tone isn't bad, but it's not good either. and i have heard charlie vernon he's freaking awesome!! and what i meant was this video wasn't bad or good. it just sits there. and i'm actually a euphonium player for my high school symphonic band

  • Second to last note was a b natural and for the last one get a chromatic tuner and see what it reads

  • admit it, you can only do 4

  • wow. i can only hit five. This is crazy. I think this guy can hit these notes not because thats all he does, but because he has a lot of experience on the instrument, and has played a lot. Its pretty ignorant to say things like "oh this isn't music, is that all you do?" Anyone who's ever had decent experience on any instrument knows that playing fast and high or low is an ability you gain with experience.

  • @TheKlarinettist he actually played eight notes so it would be seven octaves, but I'm not sure that that last note was a Bb

  • Sure are a lot of haters in here who probably never played a double Bb on a bone in their life...

  • Cool! 3 real notes and 4 party tricks.

  • Great job! Now lets see all the chromatics in-between!

  • Haha thats awesome!

  • That was kinda cool. haha

  • Dude, you're so good. Do you give lessons?

  • that. sounded. bad.

  • Youre a little out of tune on the first note !!

  • btw they all count thats how u play them

  • Same player: v=jLKcIHZYPew

  • well that was triple high to triple pedal

  • lol, it's 7 notes, not octaves (and the top one was really, really, thin); so it was six octaves

  • Because of course range directly equates to skill and musicality...

  • 1st note and last note do not count

    

  • lmao what was that? it sounded like the highest note was sung through the horn instead of played

  • Can you do anything else? Like, play actual music? Or is shitting out your horn all you do?

  • well once i hear you play that in an actual song i'll believe you have a 7 octave range. Otherwise to me that was just squeaking and farting.

  • @freaky00003 squeaky squeaky

    

  • The first one sounded like a fart lolol

  • I only hear 6 octaves

  • Awesome.

  • I counted 7 notes, so that's 6 octaves. Still really good though. I used to be able to hold the triple high Bb for quite a while, and it was pretty strong.

  • was the last one even a note?

  • I counted 8 octaves ._.

  • @TheCannonbolt55 You counted 8 notes not octaves

  • I think the most impressive thing about this video is how good the actual notes sound. Obviously the extremes at both end are never going to sound beautiful but that's because the tenor trombone was never intended to be played that high. And speaking as a tuba player, I think that the pedal Bb was excellent and the double pedal sounded as good as one can make that note sound.

  • Great starting note! I will probably never get that high!

  • awesome

    

  • Pedal notes don't even count. You never use them in music.

  • @xeinosa bullshit you don't use them. I had one in a piece last year. KNOW YO SHIT.

  • @CycloniteKiller You were either playing an etude or a bass trombone part. I know my shit man. Most likely you were playing a solo etude, because the tone quality and intonation are too unstable to be used in even a small ensemble. I do believe this would be to only exception to my previous statement. Or the composer of your piece, if the case is you were part of an ensemble, is completely ignorant and vary amateur.

  • @xeinosa Pedal tones come up in Big band charts fairly commonly actually. and if your pedal tones sound ignorant and amateur, that's your fault, not the composer. WORK DEM LOW NOTES BOI!!

  • @gumblut Well I can see pedal notes coming up in Jazz, I do believe rarely, but in any other form of music it's just plain stupid.

  • Comment removed

  • @xeinosa If composers that utilize the trombone's pedal range are ignorant or amateur, then Mahler, Bruckner, Tchaikovsky, are all total n00bs. Plus the bass trombone plays pedals when doubling the tuba part, which many composers are wont to do. The idea that a pedal note isn't stable enough is preposterous. ANY professional quality trombone player can play them as clean and in tune as any other note, and that goes for all trombonists not just bass bones, Tenors get pedals occasionally as well.

  • @SymphonicTrombone

    The exact reason I went to college on bass trombone :-)

    People don't realize that the tenor (and tenor/bass) trombone is one of the VERY few brass instruments that has a stable enough pedal range (factors include mouthpiece size, tube diameter, and location of the cone expansion) to be reliably used.

    I do have to say that I can actually hit (not fake) that last Bb pedal with my Bb/F/Gb/D bass trombone, though :-D

  • @xeinosa Have you ever play orchestral Trombone III parts? Apparently not. Have you ever played 4th (or lowest part, depending on arrangement) in a trombone choir? Even high school wind band pieces have pedal tones in the lowest trombone.

    You also occasionally see the bass trombone player subbing for tuba in a smaller wind band or orchestra. Pedal tones become quite important, and when you have those parts, being able to belt them is second only to having a stable tone and pitch.

  • @dumbo800 horn four parts are my specialty, I so good at it im in 7th grade and i can hit pedal C :DDDDDD

    i play the parts for symphonies

  • I don't think this really counts until you can actually play the notes

  • that is only six bc your range goes by scales, and you need to get a better seal to count the Bb0

  • @Lixaef Shut up, no one cares, and it was actually a Bb-1

  • that last pitch wasnt a Bb.......

  • i make a 7th octave note in the restroom

  • last note sounds like u got to poo

  • are you a wizard?

  • THat's pretty cool man!

  • That would be great if they were all B flats......

  • ペダル下とその下ですか!

    驚愕。

  • And the purpose for 7 octaves is............?

  • Try your double pedal Bb in second position, it'll come out better.

  • @tyzon05 sorry for the ridiculously late comment. But your totally right, I should rephrase my comment a little. I should say anyone could play most notes three octaves, or something similar to that.

  • Last two totally don't count as Bb, but the top two holy crap.

  • @Anticedence Well, considering he can get that close to a double pedal Bb with a .487 that has no attactments, I'd just say give it to him lol

  • i can do only 3 octaves- but i'm only in middle school

  • the last note is a triple pedal Bb.

    First is a triple high, second double high, third is high, fourth note is middle Bb, fifth note is low Bb, 6th note is pedal Bb, 7th note is double pedal, so the eighth note must be a triple pedal

  • @jcbahr lol jakee

  • last two notes is so funny XD

    but awesome.!

  • やるね

    

  • last one fur sure didnt count. If it does, my butt has 7 octaves too.

  • @Joebone18974 hahahaha

  • Hey, wouldn't it be super cool and awesome if I over-analyzed and ridiculed this person's video?!

  • Ok Pauly D, you only played 3 Bbs. Where's the other 4? Let me know when you get around to that.

  • get off that pea shooter beginner horn & try a step up & then we can talk about high notes trust me

    also the first two weren't Bb's the first was a high ass F & the second was a high D & the last 2 weren't either the last one was another C & next to last was an Eb try again this time get a large bore much richer & louder sound

  • That last note was actually a triple pedal, the one that sounded like a fart. If you go and look at an actually note positions, that 3rd to last is the pedal, 2nd to last is double pedal, and that fart noise is a triple pedal.

  • Were u tryin to pull of a triple pedal?!?

  • unless you can play the notes in between those, it doesn't count.

  • Some one needs to empty their water key! ewww hahahaha

  • @stealthedscout Pedal doesn't really imply the lowest note. Below pedal, you have foundation or double pedal, whichever you prefer to call it. technically, it's producing a frequency. If you were to measure the frequency of the last note played in this video, you could easily tell what note it is. that last note, when accurate, would be a Bb -1, which would be somewhere around 14 1/2 hertz. so, per second, his lips would only make contact 14 to 15 times. DAMN!

  • I can tell just from the sound he could make with proper notes that he is probably a good Trombone player so....I really doubt he can "Just make fart sounds".

  • @olivenoire1 I think it was a triple pedal lol

  • is that even a trombone?? it looks like a sacbut... bone with no triggers and a tiny bell. (i play bass bone)

  • @COOKIEMONSTERATHOME youve never seen a sackbut then. thats a small bore tenor. look up christian lindberg on youtube you should seen one with a picture of him playing a very small alto looking trombone with a super small bell

  • Farting notes are ensitial acutaly, I have play in trombone chiors where the parts require me to play a pedal C exteamly loudly. To do that you have to work on your double and triple pedal range

  • i get the feeling that the first at least one is edited... i.e. pitch doubled, or video sped up, or whathaveyou.... and the last at least two were probably the same.

  • ur not supposed 2 puf f ur cheekls u know.

    U SUCK

  • empty ur fuckin spit valve u nasty.

    and the last 2 sounded like creaking doors.

    the first two werent even notes.

  • @Givvadogabone dont be a noob, his spit valve was clean, thats what pedal notes on a regular trombone sounds like.

  • TERRIBLE.

    And im a beginner.

    u suck.

  • I'm just gunna say that no matter how much you want it to be true, the top and bottom two arent really notes. They are pedals and squeaks, and any good trombone player can play any note three octaves.

  • @johnbaratta092494 Not nessisarily true. On a straight horn atleast, an Eb is only playable in two octaves without the trigger, as is the D for most people.

  • uhm thats just stupid, im in high school n i have a better range than that!

  • @besparkled74

    Wow.. Internet Badass, Your so cool!!!!

  • that pea shooter doesn't have enough tube to get a double pedal Bb, anyway. If you had a regular horn with a trigger you can go to 7+ and lip it down, or get a real bass.

  • Awsome job!! And to every1 that is jelous he did do 7 octaves and that's what it's mention to sound like

  • ive been playing for 10 years now. college player atm. bass trombone possibly the lowest note to be played. i dont know for sure i dont play much bass bone. but those squeeks. they have never been played as written parts in music. who knows. you may play them say in jazz or whatever. more power to you. the highest written notes that you can see in solos and others such would be the high F( two octave above second top line in staff) to maybe the Bb above that. just to clear up someones comment

  • Sounds like some one needs to empty the water key. ewwwwww :)

  • Was that a machine gun going off at 0:13 - 0:16 ?

  • men, that's sucks

  • If you like range, Check out my video's... The Bossa Nova with my euphonium, and My Foolish heart, both show off a little of my upper range. More video's of trombone, and marching baritone will be up soon!

  • Notes dont matter unless you can play them in a passage.

  • last one wasn't anything...

  • sharp

  • I play trombone, and I can't even play Bb two ocatves high... :'( I feel so miserable..

  • first and last ones really dont count, sorry, even the second one wasnt very good

  • @pyrobombs how does the first one not count? he clearly hit it, hell you put up a vid of you doing this better.

  • @littledrewboo 1) I dont play trombone 2) if you cant use that note in a musical piece, it doesnt count, and theres no way that would be acceptable in a piece.

  • @pyrobombs then you can't have an opinion on it because you don't play trombone. Notes like that have been you used in solo pieces for sure and it does count because if you can play up in the stratosphere like that, then pieces in orchestral or band literature are a breeze. that's just basic brass knowledge, my guess is that you play a woodwind or not an experienced brass player. There might even be an orchestral trombone part that does have that note and you just have never heard of it.

  • @littledrewboo Yes i am a woodwind player but it doesnt sound like a note! its like me playing a constant squeak on clarinet and saying its a high Eb And just because i dont PLAY it, doesnt mean that i cant tell what sounds like a note and what doesnt And no I havent heard every piece of music out there but ive still heard jazz contemporary and individual instrumental solos from pros and have never heard this note And obviously its a note but it isnt controlled here Why ? me and no one else?

  • lets see him play the 7 octaves full scale i can get 2 on baritone

  • heeeeeeel brostyle!!!!

  • i just reached my 7th octave on euphonium/baritone i play 2 octaves below the regular Bb and 5 above :p and for everyone who is being a hater petal notes count so suck it

  • @beritoneplayer They count if you can determine what the note is. That is not the case here. sorry.

  • 4 or 5

  • Comment removed

  • the last note sounds like the trombone is drowning....

  • @trbjeannie LOLOLOL that's amazing

  • Wow. You play a peashooter. Try doing that on a big boy horn.

  • what the fuck was the last note???!?!?!?!

  • rofl @ mouse fart comment... true though it is

  • And still can't play the Mozart Requiem Excerpt...

  • I'll give you 5 of the 7.

  • Yeah much of those are simply musical masturbation. A working range spanning 3 octaves is MORE than enough for all but the top cats, and an extra octave below of "fake" tones and an extra octave above of "hamster shit" tones to round out the control. Anything more is for bravado and no musical good comes of it.

  • @Qermaq I dunno, I think if there are players who can actually play in extreme registers of a given instrument, that opens up more possibilities for composers, and can extend the range of what a given instrument can do and is expected to do.

  • and pussy is no where in sight

  • AHHHH BROWN NOTE!!!!

  • The last doesn't count, and i'd like to hear every note in between. :)

  • @killuhKALIE You can't do it in the lower register unless you're using a bass trombone.

  • Check your pants !

  • the last one does not count

  • Not sure the last one really counts... The first one was actually really good sound quality, for being a triple Bb. I can squeak out the double at about that dynamic so bravo for the triple!

  • чё вы пишете типо нет таких нот, да вы лохи позорные на своём английском пишете херню, чувак норм

  • dude the first and last notes were emm nothing i can reach 6 octaves with semi good sound in a valve trombone so plz dont do stupid things

  • >> Squeaking on trombone

  • ???sorry, but what is it?

  • First note doesn't count... lol! That's a Mouse FART!!!

  • and the last one is An elephant fart...

  • @marco8808 and the last one is like an elephant's one...

  • @marco8808 that made me LOL

  • The last one sounds so...LOL

  • yea, save the last two notes for a tuba.

  • last octave doesnt count, and technically the first two were way to high to be called notes[unless your dave steinmeyer of course]

    they were just squeaks

  • good work man! Posted in 2007, getting lots of views! I'm a trumpet player and I'm very impressed.

    I think everyone could keep in mind that he's just showing that he can produce these notes. They're not necessarily going to be used in performance, but it is a huge talent to be able to do this.

    Bravo!

  • I don't think the last one counts. You need to be able to hold it clearly.

  • The best ones were the last 3

    the low notes were bright

    Except the last one

  • ROFL

  • DAMN! I play clarinet and i can only do 5 octaves!

  • Comment removed

  • WTF?

  • @itouch2GMaAsTeR geez calm down.

  • @itouch2GMaAsTeR FUCK U UR JUST JEALOUSE OF OUR 7 OCTAVE RANGES U LITTLE 2 OCTAVE RANGER

  • @itouch2GMaAsTeR ROFL!!! Complete fucker...

  • @itouch2GMaAsTeR 0:15 it's a regular tenor trombone

  • @itouch2GMaAsTeR Then why don't you make your own 7 octaves trombone video? Because you can't?

  • @itouch2GMaAsTeR Not to be mean or anything, but if you payed any attention to the title of the video "7 Octave range on trombone," then you would have noticed that he wasn't trying to make so called "farting" noises. He was playing 7 octaves on a trombone!!

  • @itouch2GMaAsTeR : hm,Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra does,so you better shut up!

  • lol first note. I can hit  notes like that, but its a lot of biting of the lip, but getting out of that habit. Last note is just total flap.

  • ErrgletheComposer: I'd like to see you try it XD

  • hes right... the second to last note he played was the fundamental. its impossible to play a note that resonates at any frequency below it on that slide position. this guy faked it.

  • who cares, it the highest and lowest sound like shit, but going higher than high c would kill me lips. i wanna see any of you do what this guy did.

  • The reason it's a pedal not is because YOU DON'T GO ANY LOWER... imo the last note doesn't count and the 1st reaslly shouldn't either because what band needs trombone players playing fart sounds?

  • The last doesn't count! (Yay some one that knows an overtone series!) But if he can play other notes around that High "Whatever" Then that would be impressive... Still impractical...

  • wow....nice

  • last one does not count lol

  • Check his underwear.

  • I could barely play a high double.

  • Greatest range you can play: 7 octaves. Greatest range you'll ever need? Like... 1.5. :P

  • Comment removed

  • Not true at all. My high school region music has a 2 octave jump from slow 16th triplet to regular 16th note.

  • @griffinclaws what are you, 12? 2 1/2 octave minimum to be barely competent in a real music setting.

  • luvs how u did petal note at tha end struggling to go lower

  • How did you play the high notes? High notes on trombone kill you
