  • On March 8 - 2012 I drove to Bremen to test the prototype of a complete new THEIN contrabass trombone. Although I am very happy with my recent "Ben van Dijk" model I had the idea there could be made some changes to make the instrument play even easier.
    Max Thein and his team took this up seriously and created a complete new model. A long intense day of testing made me very happy.
    The new "UNIVERSAL THEIN Contrabass Trombone" is just amazing.
    This short video gives you a short impression of this wonderful day! I hope you will enjoy it!
    The instrument will be presented during the Frankfurter Musik Messe 2012.

    What a magnificent instrument! The sound is absolutely beautiful and majestic in very register and dynamic. The contrabass trombone is an important instrument in e.g. the music of Edgard Varèse, and cannot be replaced by any other instrument (I once heard Intégrales performed with bass tuba as substitute, and the effect was completely wrong!).

      ​@@andrewfielden284Your skill on one trombone will transfer easily to the other. The major obstacle is building the proper air support, a bass or a contra will knock the wind out of you. It also takes some time to be able to produce clarity in the lower register, and also get used to the weight

    • @andrewfielden284
      @andrewfielden284 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      @@chief2632 Agreed. I transferred from tenor to bass. The breathing for me is the main thing to get used to. I'm having to accept that you can't play the same kind of phrasing on bass, the low register just takes more air.

    Where can I get a Thein Contrabass Trombone b/c I've been playing a 56 year old trombone my dad had and I've played it from 5th grade - 12th grade. I've played 3rd trombone parts ever since freshman year and I never could hit many higher notes above the higher G, but I was pretty darn good with the lower notes though, I feel like a contrabass trombone can help me hit the lower notes I that I can't hit on my king Cleveland.

    Mr van Dijk, I have a technical question; I have a Bach Stradivarius Bass Trombone. My question is "If I find a double slide to fit my trombone thus increasing the total length, will it operate as a contrabass trombone?; I'm aware the overall size of the bell, etc change and my Strad has a 10.5" diameter. I'll appreciate your answer.

    No, I'm not a salesman. I've heard of all of these, but with Getzen's Custom Series, that kind of blows away any competition. And it's false that Edwards is better. Getzen and Edwards trombones are put together with the exact same parts by the exact same people with the exact same features. Literally only difference is one says Getzen on the bell and the other says Edwards.

    That is correct. But saying "Getzen makes the best trombones in the world" is a far cry from saying Getzens are very similar to Edwards. Which is only true up to a point.

  • @AttackTurkey1
    @AttackTurkey1 12 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Ive played a Getzen and Edwards Bass Trombones and now own the Getzen 3062AF Custom Series Bass; it plays as well as the Edwards I have tried, uses the same parts, has some (if not all, but they wont tell you) interchangeability with Edwards parts, but costs less and has fewer options to begin with. Besides the name on the horn, these instruments are essentially the same.

    But have you played them? I'm serious, dude, Getzen makes great horns, but they're a step down from all of those, including Edwards. Edwards are custom horns, made with different parts (yes, different) usually in a custom way by craftsmen at Edwards, while Getzens are made a factory by different people. They have similar designs, but Edwards are where the good designs come from.
