bravo! 

[kailrunt]

Can someone tell me what make of trombone he is playing on? awesome sound.

[DavidGerber0394]

@kailrunt It is a Thein bass trombone that he developed with them. It uses hagman valves and it is a very good horn. But don't get your heart set on one unless you have about 7,000 euro. laying around. lol

[kailrunt]

@DavidGerber0394 Thats interesting, i don't think I've ever seen one of those over here in the UK. I actually have my heart set on a Rath R9... waiting to see if one comes up second hand! The Thein sounds fantastic though, worth ever cent I'm sure.

[DavidGerber0394]

@kailrunt The Rath R9 is nice. As an American I will probably never get a chance to play a Rath. I'm sure they are great. Right now I play on a Yamaha 822G. I love it. In America we usually play Yamaha, Edwards, Greenhoe, Shires, Getzen, Bach, or Conn. I never really liked Hagmann valves I guess that is just an American taste.

[PezTrombone]

A beautiful piece played wonderfully. I have the recording and the video makes it so much better!

[FUZZYisBIG]

As amazing as Ben is, I can't help but absolutely gush at that tuba, so wide and warm and encompassing, it almost eats you up.

[trombonistry]

A fine gentleman who happens to be a bass/contrabass trombone virtuoso.

[grzesio5678]

[zoot69]

I have a recording of this! It's great to see the video, sounds fantastic.

[syr1811]

Beautiful, Powerful, Sweet, Funky. Love the angles. Trombones are so expressive in the right hands. Great piece - Thanks for sharing.

[tromboneslo]

superb!

[cieslikdavinci]

The ending cadenza is awesome. Really hit the nail on the head with that one. It really showcases the bass trombone's dynamical and technical range.

[mikeejm]

[Wolfeater818]
