I used to watch all your videos like 4-5 years ago when i was in the band in HS. This video popped in my feed after years of not watching and I didn’t even recognize you. Congrats on getting in better health bro 🙌🙌 you’re a true inspiration
I don't know exactly how my youtube took me from tom scott videos to trent hamilton but im going to roll with it i looked back through his history damn he looks so much better now compared to 7,8 years ago Edit: correct time frame
@@mihailmilev9909 I think you're talking about the bugle which is not the same as the baroque natural trumpet which is made to play mainly in the high range the baroque trumpet is a natural trumpet with added holes for the ease of correcting the intonation (especially the 11th and 13th harmonics) and is a modern invention
That grip with your left hand is somewhat reminiscent of the way one would hold a rotary valve trumpet. I wonder if you held it just a bit further down the bell if that would also help with finding the various positions on the slide, and be a bit more stable as you moved the slide.
8:38 I'm getting a mental image of an old cartoon, like 40's or 50's era of a fly or a bee going about its day and incidentally bothering donald or goofy trying to go about their day.
Congrats on 100k! I couldn’t tell you how long I’ve been watching, but it was well over 50,000 subscribers ago. Very happy to see you’ve come this far, and I’ve always loved your videos. Here’s to the road to a million!
Wow, I'm blessed to have discovered this channel! Now I don't have to spend thousands and thousands of dollars to try out all these different instruments myself. 😂 These videos have even inspired me to come up with some instrument designs of (hopefully) my own.
THEE SLIDE TRUMPET, It sure differs from his previous explanation, what a slide trombone was, he must have blown out his brains, decades ago........😝😝🤑🤑🤪😜😛😛
So the cover of the book also says "slide cornet" and slide "flugelhorn". I'm wondering if those instruments exist and how they could exist. Also, I know you were hoping to construct a sopranino trombone by combining the bell section of the piccolo trombone onto the soprano trombone slide. I know it's a long shot but perhaps putting that slide trumpet slide onto the piccolo trombone bell if it fits might work? I know the sopranino trombone in the real sound of trombones was a custom made trombone in F. I might see if I can just make one myself one day. Just a couple thoughts
I think those variants are likely to be similar, but with a more conical bell section. I can't find any major sources that show photos. I wonder if the slides are more spaced apart.
That's interesting, compared to the premodern slide trumpets I'd seen, this would obviously handle more like a trombone in that it has a slide bent back on itself, as opposed to the single telescoping section used to change keys on the ancestral slide trumpets.
That’s certainly an unusual construction for a brass instrument; the slide looks like it used an elbow and tubing normally used for the 3rd valve slide on a standard Bb trumpet except for tube length. I can see where a soprano trombone would be more practical. I’m just surprised that you didn’t include Blue Bells of Scotland in Eb as part of the demo. :)
The most interesting thing about this to me is that it has 7 actual positions. Many soprano trombones/slide trumpets don't...mine has about 5 and a half!
Interesting instrument for sure. Loved the comical way you played it…..I could see it’s potential for a movie soundtrack needing some quirky sounding tunes
@@mihailmilev9909 as Maxwell said, a silly rhythm game which features trombones. It had it first burst of popularity at launch, now it's getting progressively more popular as more rhythm game channels are discovering the custom tracks and how well people picked up on making those. So you get more and more people searching for "Trombone Champ", which may by chance cause YT to suggest more trombone content in general like Trent's videos. A few seconds of indipendent research would've let you connect the two ends together.
Can you do a video explaining what the real differences are between a cheap beginner/intermediate Trumpet like the Singers day and a Professional level Trumpet like a Bach Strad or something that costs like 5 times as much as the intermediate ones?
I just got myself a soprano trombone and I can’t seem to find anything online for slide positions on it and what notes they correspond to. I was wondering if you have anything on that, I originally play trumpet if that helps.
Not sure if you still need help but the positions should be in the same relative spot to the bell as on a tenor trombone so a video explaining those may be what you are looking for. As for what notes on trumpet the 7 positions correspond to: 1st position is the same as open fingerings on trumpet, 2nd is the same as 2nd valve, 3rd is 1st valve, 4th is (1st and 2nd)/3rd valve, 5th is 2nd and 3rd valve, 6th is 1st and 3rd, and finally 7th is all valves down. Basically as the slide extends think of going down chromatically on trumpet
So did they really make the receiver just barely catch the mouthpiece or is the mouthpiece a mile long? It looks like a Trumpet mouthpiece in a Cornet reciever, but uhh...I don't think you'd be able to reach a Cornet mouthpiece past the bell bow. I'm confuzzled. 🤨
The "Holy Roman Empire Trumpetters Guild" would not recognize this instrument as a Trumpet of any kind with the slide passing beyond the bell like that. I think these "Basically a midget trombone" arrangement of the slide shouldn't be called a Trumpet, and if you want to call a slide instrument a Trumpet, then we already have the historical examples of the tromba da tirarsi and the Flatt Trumpet. As per the Guild patent, a trumpet should have no tubing extending past the Bell.
I was also wondering that, as the slide still reaches out to in front of the bell... Maybe this is simply another kind of soprano trombone, with a denser slide to allow for more sliding space (and that 7th position you cannot reach on an ordinary soprano trombone)? We had some discussions about slide trumpets vs. soprano trombones on the Swiss Trombone Day a couple of weeks ago, apparently many people (including trombonists) have no clue about the differences...

Now you just need to get a Baroque/natural trumpet.
@@mihailmilev9909 I think you're talking about the bugle which is not the same as the baroque natural trumpet which is made to play mainly in the high range

9:02 I can't stop laughing!
Oh wow! I had a two year lapse watching your channel and you look in really good shape! 😀
It can play every note in every scale and all the ones in between
Wow! Absolutely glorious! What a strange little thing! I actually like the sound of it! 😅😆 😁👍🏻

" because of how long this bell end is..." Is my favorite out of context part if the video.
Not the section in the book entitled "how to blow"? The book actually has a diagram pointing to the bell with it labelled as the "bell end"
@@TrentHamilton ha! No, but fantastic that that’s there as well
I have this one..I sometimes play
congrats on 100k man!!!
I just about died in laughter in the Rivoli part and basically, I need it in my life.
You hit 100k!!! Congrats Trent!

What kind of soprano trombone do you have? Only 5 positions sounds dreadful
It works very well
finally a slide trunpet that isnt a trombone. soprano trombones are not slide trumpets.
Love the vids as a brass player that plays trumpet and french horn it is so hard to find a good brass TH-camr
is the slide to bell ratio correct? so is there a 7th position on it?
9:02 Sad Post Horn Galop :( on Slide Trumpet
Interesting sound ... It really looks a little bit funny how you hold this instrument
Have you ever heard of a convertible euphonium?? They seem really odd
You mean the ones that turn into mini contras?
@@CaptainApathetic yeah those things
@@azxtnt wish I would've had one doing 4 years of matching band with a heavy ass marching baritone
@@CaptainApathetic yeah baritones are very tiring for your arms
Interesting instrument for sure. Loved the comical way you played it…..I could see it’s potential for a movie soundtrack needing some quirky sounding tunes
What's the name of the piece at 8:38?
It's called "Brent's Favorite Passage to Play on Slide Instruments"
The Acrobat by John Greenwood
Congrats on 100k
wonder if trombone hero's existence is going to make this channel's search engine optimization better just on coincidence lmao
@@mihailmilev9909 i think they meant trombone champ, which is a rhythm game

It also seems to have a Screw Rim Bell like some French Horns

I actually like the sound. Hard to hit the notes?
These originally came in a custom cardboard box that was the case for the instrument.
The first Sad_Trumpet.wav Also, handsome as always!
And a sackbut?
Thank you for the info about slide trumpet . But now I must ask about the 3-valve 5-bell monstrosity on the wall behind you ... WTF????
Hahahahah!!! At the end
Lol “bell-ended.”
Still a fun gadget!
first time watching in years and you are looking good my man! keep up the active lifestyle!
5:48 "flutes entered chat"
Finally, I can play trumpet rag
The Bugle is the same thing as a Natural Trumpet
So did they really make the receiver just barely catch the mouthpiece or is the mouthpiece a mile long? It looks like a Trumpet mouthpiece in a Cornet reciever, but uhh...I don't think you'd be able to reach a Cornet mouthpiece past the bell bow. I'm confuzzled. 🤨
I was waiting for this one lol
Cute!
Instead of just ramming the two pieces together, wouldn’t you grease one end as you do with joints in other brass instruments?
No, because you need the fit to be tight
It doesn't warrant high end manufacturing methods, it's a trumpet.
It pains my soul when people call the soprano trombone a slide trumpet
NIce. It has a few minor flaws, but it sounds really OK. 👍👍
Oh
It's same that soprano trombone...?
not a soprano trombone
Bell-ended? lol
Trumpone
wow what
so there are no meaningful differences between this and a soprano trombone that would make this in any way useful.
Is there any truth to the rumor that you lost all that weight because your wife wanted to see less of you? 😄
Nice, but not as crisp sounding as a regular trumpet.
Of course you wouldn't play it sideways. After all, it's not a slide trumpoon.

Doesn’t sound too bad for a 20 $ instrument…
Clearly that's a trombone. Smh fake fans
I can’t tell if you’re joking or not lol
@@azxtnt im joking
Wikipedia describes a DIFFERENT instrument as a Slide Trumpet.
