3D Printed Alto Trombone in F

This is a video describing how to assemble my 3D printed alto trombone pitched in F and demonstrating how it sounds.

I am an engineering graduate from Valparaiso University where I had access to the 3D modeling software (Solidworks) and 3D printers that I used for this project.

This sounds way better than I thought it would tbh

[@simonbarsky6959]

honestly this would be a great idea for people who cant afford great trombones

[@isaacrichter1101]

This is really impressive! Once I find a 3d printer I can use, I'd love to try it out. It has good tone quality for being so portable!

[@markfdesimone]

Nicely done. It sounds so good, considering it's layers of plastic. The way the parts fit together and lock is really clever!

That's awesome man! Good job! I have an actual brass alto in F. They are rare and they do sound a bit trumpetty, mostly because the bell is small, and the cylindrical nature of the instrument. If your bell was an inch larger and thereby the bell flare was a bit more conical, it would mellow it considerably. A Schilke 40 or 42B is the smallest small shank tenor mouthpiece in production. How is the intonation?

I think it sounds really good

[@trucker47]

Totally Amazing Well Done !!

[@YogurtSnipe]

Bro dam, that sounds pretty good.

[@goldroblox772]

I like that the bell model looks like a Monette (best trumpets in the world)

[@EggyB]

Thank you!

[@flowinsounds]

like the final tune. need to 3d print in fluoro pla for that, really

[@dailyrider2975]

NICE!

[@manoelchaves2457]

Showww sucesso vc é espetacular imprimir um pra mim fuciona bem , consegue um trompete porque ate agora nao tem nem um trompete 3D no yotube que fucione tao bem como o seu trombone

[@JacobLuisLLDM]

Cool

[@wheattoast1971]

This is sick! Could you make a contrabass in BBb? Like a double slide?

[@chesedchesed]

whaaaat?! that is so cool xD

[@azxtnt]

But how do you tune it

[@akplaystrumpet]

can u please make a soprano trombone!!

[@user-xi1le9dd6n]

What kind of material should it be made of?

[@BJK13]

Any advice on how I might model and build a tuba?
