I'm gonna try to see if this translates at all to trombone. No one ever explained to me that you actually use your tongue to do a "lip" trill. Thank you for this video!
Thanks for the videos! (Unless my ears have gone haywire) when you do the demonstration of the trill at 2:34 you are using open valves and yet manage to produce a perfect tone trill G-A (Concert F-G) in apparent defiance of the instruments' harmonic series. I'm not sure I've ever seen anyone do that before!! Is that a quirk of your instrument or what is happening there? Later on you use 1-3 for that same trill as one might naturally expect (or 1-2, or 3). What perplexes me is how you were able to get the speed and fluidity on that trill despite somehow bending the upper partial down by a semi-tone and getting that clean G-A trill rather than, as physics and experience would suggest; a G-Bb trill with open valves. Would love to hear how you did that as, despite the myriad incredible feats I have heard on the trumpet over the years; I can't say I've ever seen someone produce a smooth fast lip trill that contradicts the harmonic series?? Thanks
wow Peter I can't thank you enough, I went from only being able to lip trill G-A above the stave to D-E, do you have any pointers on the wider lip trills?
I'm not Mr. Bond but I'll chime in. Start slow and use a little extra air to blow across the wider interval. There some great exercises that can be used to practice this in the book _Exploring The Trumpet's Upper Register_ by Jay Zorn. (Note: Zorn talks about arching the back of the tongue. Don't do that. Arch as Mr. Bond showed in his diagram in this video.) Start slow and get it coordinated, then work it up to faster tempi. It will probably sound like a gliss for a while. Don't be discouraged.
Great video , I learnt how to lip trill by accident …always thought it was lips , and not your tongue .
Thanks for setting the record straight…
Excellent lesson on these effects/skills, Mr. Bond!
Your explanation is excellent. Thank you very much
Amazing!!!
What an interesting and informative video. Thank you 🎺
Excellent ! Trumpet hang brought me here

The obstacle for me seems to be a limitation in how fast I can make the lip trill. There is a physical limit on how fas I can make the trill.
Great player. Not as well known as he should be. jw
