The musical instrument business gets neglected and even overlooked. We're here to bring some light to what goes on behind the scenes. How musical instruments are made. How Lady Gaga feels about trombone! Or did Elvis really play clarinet? We digress.....or do we? The instruments themselves rarely get much attention unless you're in the fold of makers and dealers and collectors. Usually the musician is the one who steels the show! Darn musicians! We're here to talk about gear, how it's made, who makes it and why you might want it....or not! A trumpet is a trumpet is a trumpet.....or is it? Those pesky Mendini trumpets are giving old Vincent a bad name! Saxophones? Adolph Sax is rolling in his grave.....all of the Antigua's, the Barrington's and the Selma's.......geesh! Let's talk about horns! Hope you enjoy this journey! I hear York tubas in the background!

Dublin Festival of Brass Clinic/Recital with James Gourlay at Buckeye Brass and Winds
_bruh im tryna get a baritone horn_
Senior Sousa here, my director makes sure I fill up that horn with air, doing so I overpower everything. One of the bits split in half to the vibrations.
I seem to remember that the original sousaphones were bell-vertical, and that they were called raincatchers, and were only modified to bell-front later.
True. I think the term, “raincatcher,” came out later as a nickname. Sousa didn’t like the directional sound of the helicons.
Decades ago when I was in high school my sousaphone was a tiny bit flat. I had to tightened my lips to play a half note higher. I wasn’t easy but I did it. I won two trophies, outstanding rookie and junior, playing it that way.
I'm a trombonist who recently acquired an old Conn 5J tuba from my local brass band. Even before getting this instrument, I've always said I should get a sousaphone one day, and since getting the tuba I've decided (just personal choice, I find it helpful), that I like the fourth valve a lot for different and easier fingerings. After looking around for a bit, a found the Conn 40K sousaphone to be the one I like. I may not get a reply, but to those who have/have tried a Conn 40K, what are your opinions on it? (Sorry for the long comment)
Hey, Tony! Great video, man!
I really question the implication that a career in performance recommends a masters degree. The arts, more than any other field except sport, favors those who can over those with a degree. Many of the best performers have only an undergraduate degree or certificate. YoYo Ma has a Harvard BA- in anthropology. Their choice is to study with masters instead of for a masters. Graduate degrees are really only essential for an academic path, being a requirement for most university professorships.
I find this video a bit limited, but it knocked out a few homeruns along the way. That said, the B&S line has quality issues as it is owned by Buffet Crampon, so they mass produce more than ever. Moving on... I played a Miraphone Hagen 6/4 B-flat at Radio France concert hall in Paris and it was luscious, majestic - filled the room. It was so in tune (the conductor was looking to me to tune the winds AND strings. It was weird.). Despite the richness and strong tone center, the Miraphone Hagen BBbstarts to flutter in the high range, starting at the Gb near the top of the staff. It is treacherous. (Pray that the timpani can drown you out on Mahler 2, 1st movement on the high bit). The CC horn manages that part of the range much better. The BBb 6/4 is a must have when you start digging in and start playing Bruckner and Mahler and Prokofiev at graduate school or even early professional. WHAT I OWN: I have a B & S F tuba for now. It's okay. Hunting for a 4/4 BBflat. WHAT STUDENT GOING TO COLLEGE SHOULD DO: If your parents have money, go for the best - Adams. They are made by tubists, for tubists. They cost a fortune but they are absolute tanks. The Adams F horn is mind-numbingly good: rich, full lower range and so easy to play from top to bottom of range. Piston only. When you play it, you feel like your cheating. The Adams CC 6/4 York is bar none the best of the big horns. Adams has solidified itself as the best after they bought the molds from Hirshbrunner (the reference for decades before closing their doors). Adams works with Perry Hoogendijk at the Amsterdam Concertgebouw, who is not shy with his comments and needs - a monster player. Adams are innovating like crazy. Their head of production is a professional tubist, who has studied and played with the best and was a finalist in many auditions in Europe. That said, Perry and the head of production play CC most of the time, and for good reason. They are easier to play. But there is a richness in the BB-flat tubas because of the physics of sound -- they are based on the same fundamental frequency as trumpets and trombones, so they 'lock in' together better than when using the CC tuba tries to 'hook up' with the trombones, for example. The Germans insist BBb due to this. The BBb is 18 feet of tubing too, so the sound is a bit different than the 15-foot CC tubas. The CC's have more bit to them and can really handle the lyrical bits with more ease. You need to be more efficient on the breathing front with a bigger horn. FINAL VERDICT. Get a solid 4/4 CC or 44/B-flt for the trainer horn IMO. For the less financially endowed, don't buy new, just buy GOOD. Or ask they school what they have available for use/rent. If they ask you what you need, Adams for a big budget and a used good horn for low budget. Midrange budget is rife with landminds. Tcherveny were solid and affordable in the 1990s when I was in school. Just make sure you have a stable horn that doesn't make you work so hard. Don't compromise on the mechanics either. Word to the wise, if you start to have dodgy mechanical problems, stop playing the horn immediately --- GET IT FIXED RIGHT AWAY BY A PROFESSIONAL. If not, it will lead to psychological issues, like confidence problems. ON ROTARY VS. PISTON: The rotary horns are fine at university, but if you have the cash, get the piston models - but stay away from Crampon Buffet brands. Sorry to say it. Sorry to Buckeye Brass and Winds if I cause you concern. Loved the video and the playing. The host was right about the lifestyle of professional tuba playing, its a joy.
I want to learn sousaphone
1,3,24
When you're out on the field and you gotta blow down 75,000 screaming football fans, notes below Bb or (if you're playing national emblem) Ab, are meaningless. What was that riff he played, prokofiev? That's an indoor tune and would be played on a regular tuba. Your sousaphone should be evaluated on its ability to project power. You want your band loud. You want to mess up your audience's hairdo. You want to be able to pop the buttons off their shirts...
What was the song in the intro?
❤❤❤❤
My HS has 2 4-valve Jupiters and a bunch of 3-valve Kings I resurrected.
That low end 🥹
Great video. Thanks!!!
Sorry mate but your internation is all over the place
It’s a 195/2
Very good player 👍👌❤️
Nice sounding tuba 👌👍😀❤️
That Conn got some umpth in it 😄
Is Coppergate Professional F Tuba by Gear4Music good?
No, do not buy cheap chinese horns. Look for a used German horn there’s plenty of good deals.
okay thanks
Thanks. I play a 20J
Low C?
So you have to tune a sousaphone?
Bună seara ce modele este tuba
Buy "one" tuba? No! We want them all!!
If only my budget would allow that 😂
IT'S NOT A TUBA!!
You say the tuba is in B flat and is used in Wagner, such as Siegfried. But in the score it is written for a tuba in C. Does the player have to transpose at sight?
Bb and C tuba both play at concert pitch so it's just different fingers and played how it's writen
I love it i really want one am currently on euphonium
I love it i really want [a euphonium] am currently on trumpet 💀
Much appreciated, thanks!
Power! Unlimited Power!
yeah i got to get me one!!!!
in American symphony orchestras there is probably a huge advantage using c and f tuba but playing in a mitlitary band as many professional musicians do ?
I’m currently marching a king 2350 at my high school they are amazing horns
I'm a bit confused: at 12:00-12:01, the E is referred to as the 'pedal E', but I would think that is simply the 'ordinary' low E, above the induced notes and a full octave above the lowest pedal tone E. Am I missing or overlooking something here?
Usually E1 is named as pedal E, since most tuba players say anything past F1 is named a pedal. Pretty much any low brass will call E1 pedal E. Now I believe you’re talking about E0, that is indeed also a pedal, but you don’t really see players play that low unless they’re a professional, in college or a talented high school tuba player.
Though you can call E1, “low E” or “Pedal E” either one works. I call it both, but primarily pedal. For me, E0-F1 is pedal range, F1-F2 is low range, F2-F3 is mid range, F3-F4 is upper range, and F4-C5 is high range. Or “super” range.
@@felixplaystuba6937 Thanks you very much for your two responses! I'll admit I still have to refer to the chart to recall which number each octave receives, as I tend to think in terms of the lowest notes reached by various instruments (i.e.-C2 is the cello's lowest note, Bb1 is the bassoon's, E1 is the lowest note on a standard double bass which is the note about which I asked my question). However, I can see why what you've explained would be the case. I can't get quite as much 'power' out of E1 (on my Conn 20J) as I can with higher notes, although I can do Eb1 (open) and D1 (2) as false tones, and even a recognizable C1 (1), but not a very convincing Bb0 (open) which would actually be a 'legitimate' pedal tone. I've wondered what it would be like to try playing a smaller tuba, such as a Conn 5J--with its 4 front-facing valves (the latter aspect being on my 14i baritone and 14c alto horn, and which I actually like better than the upward-facing valves), and perhaps the former aspect allowing me to play the lower notes 'legitimately' would enable me to get more power out of them, along with requiring less air. I'm a skinny 150 lb 70 y/o; maybe someone built like a grizzly bear can get more power out of the lowest notes, but I believe part of it is that it is rather difficult to get my lips to vibrate well at such low frequencies, particularly when confined by the diameter of the mouthpiece! 😂
@@bobjacobson858 Correct! Cello/Bari Sax’s lowest note is C2, Bb1 for Bassoon/Bass Clarinet and E1 for standard double bass! Now, I’m pretty sure you can power out any pedal notes on a concert tuba; it doesn’t really shine out in a sousaphone. I love sousaphones and contras, but their pedal range doesn’t resonate since they’re non-compensating instruments and every low note will be sharp. I have played pedals on the Sousa before but since it’s false tones you can’t really hear it in a marching band setting. By the way, I believe Db1 is 1 and C1 is 12 or 3. Smaller tubas (3/4 size) can still play pedal notes if they’re BBb or CC. If they have 4 valves they should be able to play down to E0-Bb0. If it were a F or Eb tuba, then their lowest note would be either Db1 or Eb1 I believe. Thank you for replying!
@@felixplaystuba6937 Thanks again! For one thing, I learned something new--I played bass clarinet for several years in school, but our instruments only went down to concert Db2--some of the newer ones (or perhaps I should say more expensive ones can play lower, and they have support pegs at the bottom. My best friend in high school played bassoon and his sister played bass clarinet, so I sat with them, and was a bit envious that he could play his 'low Bb'. (But when I started double bass, then I was in the lead on the downward side. I believe you are correct with the fingering of the Db1 and C1--I never really had a reason to play the former note, and was sloppy enough with the second that I could 'lip down' to the second. I'll give these fingerings an honest try; the Eb1 and D1 come out reasonably well, but below that I probably couldn't count on them. I suspect some of the true pedal tones simply end up being 'rattles'--I recall hearing someone describing such notes on a subcontrabass saxophone as sounding like "agricultural machinery"! Does a 3/4 size tuba provide a respectable volume of sound, especially in the lower octave 2 and upper octave 1?
What is the lowest note a sousa can play on the field? I would guess not as low as a concert horn but anyone know what the generally accepted range is?
Probably a Pedal tone F or E natural after that i consideer them false tones. The notes are still playable after those ranges but in power it will diminish
That 20k looks like water lol already kno it costs a grip
I’m going to learn to play sousaphone soon and I’m really excited I’m going to play it in marching band
I'm a guy who bought a Conn 20J tuba (with the forwarding-facing recording bell) a week ago--a month before my 70th birthday, so I'm a 'nontraditional' student. Although I've played woodwinds since childhood as well as double bass, I started on brass a year ago, first with a Conn Director straight tenor trombone, then a Blessing B-125 trumpet, then a Sai Musicals euphonium, and now the tuba (all for less than $1300), and I'm having a lot of fun and taking lessons (mainly on the trombone and euphonium, at the same lesson). I've always been fascinated by brass, so I'm trying to learn all I can. So far I'm only able to get down to the 'home-base' B-flat and sometimes the A, but I hope I'll be able to reach the pedal tones, and particularly the induced tones. I'm curious about sousaphones, to which you alluded, that DON'T sound like a tuba--how different are they?
A lot of band music is written in keys like Bb, Eb, Ab, and F. A lot of orchestra music is written in keys like C, G, D, and E. Using a BBb tuba or an EEb tuba on band music is less cumbersome than using a CC or F tuba, while using a CC or F tuba on orchestra music is less cumbersome, due to the awkward physical effort involved in using the combination of 2nd and 3rd valves together. That is not to say that a particular type of music is prohibitive on a particular type of tuba, but on some music, using one kind of tuba will wear you out sooner than another.
I just don't get this series. Every one I have watched purports to answer a fundamental question, but then in fact barely addresses that question and just goes off on a tangent, playing more like a commerical. I don't know if these videos are just ineptly conceived, or are really more cynical.
Yea, he made it out to be more complicated than it needed to be. Idk if he read a script, or if he forgot what the question even was.
I was ready to “save” 11 minutes based on your comments, but then went ahead and watched the video anyway. He opens up saying he’s not going to give you a turnkey answer as it’s a very individualized process. Then goes on to talk about the broad parameters to consider. Then for his two samples, he gives us the kind of run through you’d want to do before any multi-thousand dollar purchase. I thought this was a pretty helpful video.
Not even my first instrument and I love it
Man, there is a LOT of misinformation in this video! Like the presenter just compiled a list of all the BS tidbits that uninformed players have passed around over the ages, and then presented them as fact. Then, the purported reason for the video is to inform "educators" about the Sousaphone, but too much time is spent detailing oddities of the specific brand of instrument instead of the salient points common to all Sousaphones, and really, if there are any "educators" (I assume this is meant to be "band directors" who don't already know the basics, they should not have their jobs. The video seems like a commercial for King Sousaphones. Pretty worthless video, look elsewhere for real useful information.
Cool i dont know That James Hetfield also is a well Tuba Player
Thank you for the video. I knew nothing about these instruments. Now I know *something*. Who knows, one day I may even get to play one (or at least try).
How do you tune a tuba? I bought one and it sound well out of tune...
Did you figure out out?
I thought the Fafner is the 195 model and the Hilgers the 197.
Model 197 is basicly copy of old Bohland und Fuchs made by Melton. Prof. W. Hilgers had one Bohland before. Fafner is completely newly developed model... Believe me I was a tuba bell maker in Czchech republic in V.F. Červený... the birth place of kaisertubas :)
@@Felix-nh5pw yes that’s what I thought. I owned a 195. Daniel Ridder has a Bohland and Fuchs Kaiser model as well.
@@markpeterson8804 You are right. By the way. Have you ever tried Daniel Ridder mothpiece by JK? What you think about that? Bohlands are great but many exemplars have problems in tuning, especially rebuild exemplars from Vienna tuning.
@@Felix-nh5pw no I have not tried that model of mouthpiece. Daniel told me that Wessex borrowed his Bohland to use as a basis for their Kaiser model.
@@markpeterson8804 Well I dont like Wessex so much due poor quality of manufacture, but it surely will play good. I have mesaured some other chinese /thaiwan tubas and those are usually identical to Miraphone, BsS and Melton etc. I still dont understand why there is no law for copying that 🤔😕 They just making quite good, cheap instruments without expensive development.
I'm a tuba player, played in HS, College, and here and there. LOVE the sousaphone. So much fun to play. The 20k especially, which I marched with in college, was a dream to play. So lovely.
I played tuba and Sousaphone in high school. Music teacher often said I sounds like playing Contra bass. Offered a scholarship going to college but I chose engineering major in electronics. Spent ~40 years in IT field. At 82, I am beginning to learn acoustic accordion along side my grand son who plays trombone in Jr. high. Own vintage euphonium which I play with family members. Guitar, drum, organ piano, etc. Can't think of life without music.
What do you have to say about the Melton 25 bb tuba?
Its nice tuba! At least you have something you can handle, unlike guy in the video ;) I believe that model 25 is the most versatile B flat tuba by Melton now. May be you check model 97/2. Its completely "new" 4/4 B flat tuba (another succesfull reference of Bohland und Fuchs). Congratulations for great instrument👍
Great place to buy an instrument. I would totally recommend buying something from them because it is really high quality. If you are looking to buy a brass or woodwind instrument, buy it from them!
