THERE GONNA EVOLVE INTO CRABS BEFORE WE KNOW IT!!!!! 💀💀💀

Why don't use the fourth valve?

Thanks for the video! Keep up the good work

Very informative and well-researched. I love the pictures of those weird vintage instruments (I am a collector myself). I used to play Cornet, Trumpet, then Tuba, then Euphonium. Now I play French Horn but also have a vintage Ophicleide (but did you know Wessex also makes them?) that I play for fun. You are right when you say it sounds especially good in the higher register.

Thats awesome

2:10 | Oh my god, dude that was so funny. 😂

In central Europe we use the Tenorhorn and the Bariton. Euphoniums are rare, here.

What a recording! I had to pause part way in to check if my Sony MDR-7506 phones were blown. Nope, it's your mic! lololol Nice performance though. Its like you're marching in your chairs since you're so close.

The part with the small Tuba completely broke me I had to stop the video, get outside of the room, vent to my parents, and only then come back. It was so painfully relateable, thank you very much.

I have one remark about the Tornister tuba. As you mentioned, it also comes in the key of b-flat. However, having that type of tuba as the foundation of your orchestra isn't working (at least to me), due to it's small size. I myself am the proud owner of a Conn 25J, a large bore (0.773") instrument with a 23.62 inch or 60 cm bell. And believe me, the sound of it is just beyond fabulous. I'm able to literally give a broad bass-sound with ease. In my opinion a Tornister tuba is nice as a practice instrument in a hotel room. Easy to carry, but that's practically all.

It's range is not as big as the double horn, sorry

we need a pop island remake on the switch!

Appreciate the effort, but I think you glossed over the Brass Band explosion that has happened and is still happening around the world. This is where euphonium is king and has 100's of solos written for it. Military and Wind ensemble euphonium players tend to be stuck in a zone of adhering to mostly mundane and "simplistic" repertoire. However, in the brass band the euphonium players are world class soloists - even compared to the very finest instrumentalists on any instrument. Just to add - DCI should have no relevance when discussing euphonium because it requires none of the euphoniums actual range and tonal abilities. The euphonium is the cello of the brass world and should never be considered "utilized" properly in the same vein as marching band or DCI realms.

I loved playing euphonium

Very well done !

I very much enjoyed your video. I hope you are out there somewhere still playing your euphonium.

Wish I could do this

I love playing my breast instruments

No sir I’m a tuba player that has a YEP 201 from the 90’s sir.

As a now former Euphonium player, this video was actually quite intriguing to me, and it was nice to learn the different euphoniums as well

When I explained to my girlfriend’s family what euphonium is, I legitimately said “You know the quiet part in Stars and Stripes Forever? That instrument.” Little did I know there was another march by Karl King that’s VERY focused on the instrument called “The Melody Shop”.

The Marching Euphonium did not come from the tenor bugle. They were completely different instruments. The Tenor bugle wasn’t even a tenor pitched instrument. It had the same exact length of tubing as any other G Soprano bugle at the time, with the only difference being that the Tenor bugle had a much bigger bore and bell, causing the sound to be much fuller. Later on, the baritone bugle was invented, and it was a true baritone voiced bugle, a whole octave below the Soprano. This however was still extremely cylindrical and had a small bell as pictured at 6:19 The “Bass-Baritone” went on to be a real Baritone Bugle, it had a slightly larger bore than a concert baritone, and usually had a bell flare and size similar to a concert baritone. In the late 50’s and 60’s, horn instructors wanted more color so the first G/D/F Valve/Rotor Euphoniums were made by Smith Music Sales and Whaley Royce. They obviously evolved to be changed to G/F/F#, then had two piston valves, three piston valves, and now are replaced with modern Bb Marching Euphoniums.

16:15 the whole point of this minigame is to rely on your sonar in order to find the enemy sub. as soon as you center yourself to where the sub appears on the radar, search for a small trail of bubbles by zooming in scope and lead the shot to whatever direction, left or right, the bubbles are moving in. back when i played this with my siblings, it was in most case scenarios THE game changer aside from depth charges

The serpent is actually fun to play.

I subscribed because of the Turkish Van kitty. That was hilarious!!

13:26 The composer Paul Hindemith wrote a beautiful sonata for Althorn. Please check out the first movement performed by „Anneke Scott“ on TH-cam! She plays it on a forward facing Althorn looking like a bigger flugelhorn.

hey Brother, I saw you talking about the plastic Baritone and you were making a complaint about tuning, have you played with a tuner? Have you done the necessary steps to ensure you are playing in tune? (If so then great.) Brings me to me my point, Valve oil works wonders, pulling tuning valves when certain notes are played, use alternate fingerings and also More Valve OIL... Listen to the band and do not focus on your playing, listen to everyone around you. Peace and good luck too you.

Bit late but i just cleaned mine also euphoniums are trombones but with a better sound summed up.

It's not a marching trombone. There's no slide

It took me years to remember what this game was. All i remember was the lion and the patch of orange land...

I had this happen to a friend in middle school

I played the sousaphone for a few years in high school, that's probably where my current back pain comes from. We had the fiberglass ones but they were still heavy.

This is so underrated! Watching your videos helps me as a beginning euphonium player

I watched this after our school's spring concert, so when he said that Planets featured the euphonium that hurt, because our symphonic band played it, but I was in the wind ensemble.

Ha!! 0:22 jokes on you I have always been a euphonium/baritone because I was too small for the tubas!

27:00 This is why I at some points learned Morse Code (not in the traditional sense, but at some point I just knew the combinations). So I guess SDSW can teach you morse code if you really feel like it.

washed up band kid support group time lol. tbh im 29 now, and finallyu at a point in having a routine where im picking up a brand new insturment. settled on the clarinet because i love its sound, and i played trumpet in school and wanted something totally different. im planning on taking lessons though, something to get me out of the house nand have some structure to help me as a beginner

Well, at least a bunch of weeaboos know what a euphonium is thanks to a popular anime from Kyoto Animation featuring the instrument heavily.

to be called a "smaller tuba" hurts 😭

The German style euphonium/Kaiser baritone looks suspiciously like a Wagner tuba (more of a French horn variant with _some_ tuba characteristics, despite the name). How do you tell them apart?

As a Euphonium player myself, I strive to be like you. I'm in my freshman year and I'm going to strive to better. 👍 Very good btw

Why do i hear that people started on trumpet so much i started on my euphonium/ baritone

I played in an online international solo contest during the Covid lockdowns. It was organised by the Birmingham Conservotoire. I came seventh playing the cornet, but the people above me were mostly euph players from China. It is massively popular instrument there, and in Japan.

When I was 15 my parents bought me a Boosey and Hawkes Imperial Besson. This was identical to the Sovereigns of that period apart from the bell. It was £750 brand new! Soveeigns were about £1200 back then. I played it till I was 21 and fell in love with jazz, so I switched to cornet and trumpet. I am looking at getting a euphonium again, but there are a lot more options now than there were then. I think when I got mine there were no other compensating euphoniums on the market that were available to buy in the UK. Yamaha made four valve in line non compensating ones.

You'll never make a career out of a Euphonium, but you're pretty much guaranteed a spot in whatever the highest level band at your school is.

Congrats on the solo! We've played the English Folk Song Suite in community band. A fun piece!

6:15 Is when he actually plays it.

1:59 ahh yes the sheidiphone (shiddy-phone)

"Brass instruments are... complicated." Think Dr. Seuss but for real... like for real real... 😑

Today I learned! thank you Bennim!
