This is the perfect horn to use when people ask you to play at their wedding for free.
YES
Laughed out loud.
Yes
When your friend comes over to your house and you need to practice a duet, it’s like the second player controler
no, you should use the tenor sousaphone
That carnival of Venice was a solid 10/10 flawless! What a great even, open sound that is produced by such a beautiful, well manufactured cornet!
Jake Statre-Farm I agree it's worth buying it
I love sarcasm 😁
Indeed! He should have made a comparision between the schagerl "Raven" and this 57 Dollar Instrument.
It would have been a head-to-head race.
Cornet? What cornet? This is a great, all round pocket trumpet! 🤣
Jake
*Jake*
Quality so good you can SMELL it.
The entertainment value of Carnival of Venice at the end was worth the return shipping, too.
Definitely
Yeah that tone was beautiful it was powerful resonant while the high notes where clear colorful full of life while the low notes were deep warm and strong it was truly a once in a lifetime performance
A kazoo has a clearer tone than that cornet
Carlos Diaz XD
*kazoo kid starts playing in the background*
A little harsh on the Kazoo community don't you think?
Also, I've never seen Trent laugh before. A rare sighting.
Almost died from Carnival of Venice at the end. This is my favorite version now.
10/10 great sound.
The sound is so clear and groundbreaking that the emotion that could be used to play with it is overwhelming. It really touches my soul through the screen. The contrast of piano and forte which are randomly played remind me of the struggles of life and how you have to keep moving on, despite what is thrown at you. The broken valve reminds me that even if you are broken you can rest assured that your friends will be there for you to help you out.
And those valves? They had the most perfect circles I have ever witnessed. Not even a computer could generate such a perfect circle.
Oh and it could play all the notes with such passion. It definitely is a fun yet serious instrument. I would definitely play it in my orchestra. My music teacher would probably be happy to hear that for hours. In fact, we should start a petition that every country has to play this cornet while students take important tests. It would relax the minds of students and make them want to work. And don't even get me started on the flawless condition that it had. It DEFINITELY had everything it guaranteed. I don't know why anyone would dislike it. Anyone who hears it is most likely blessed for eternal life and guaranteed to go to heaven. The angels probably play this, in fact, the saints do. This is one of the most magical, beautiful, graceful instruments I have had the privilege to hear.
LOL! Sarcasm.
Bazinga
Uh huh
Bruh are you on lsd
Lol
I used to think that a good player can make even a bad horn sound good. Trent is a great player, and … well, I stand corrected in this case.
a good player can make a "beginner" instrument sound good
The 40$ trumpet looks like a Bach Stradivarius now....
probably plays about as good as one compared to this. Did you see that big booger of brown gunk in the 2nd valve?
Yeah but seriously the 40$ trumpet it sooooooo much better than this
My plastic one sounds better 💀
This instrument is totally dumpster-ready.
Don't throw it away - make it into a lamp.
snoproblem 😂
Let me guess: Made in China
Like me
I like the joke but I agree with Stephen
It's not even a B-flat instrument. It's pitched in B natural.
Levi Hardy Maybe B quartertone flat? Hahahahaha
According to my korg tuner it is b 20 cents sharp lol
That was the first thing I noticed too. The second he started playing I thought to myself, “THAT’S A C# NOT A C, WHAT’S GOING ON HERE??”
His expression when he looked at the first valve at 4:02 lol
6:28
Some may not like it, but this is trumpet performance at it's absolute peak, just shower your ears with the privilege of hearing such a mighty instrument tackle such an easy song for a mighty ruler like it. 9:19
Ethan Perez *cornet* performance
Yes, sorry and thank you for correcting me.
LOL! Sarcasm.
Sounds like a wasp stuck in a jam jar!
I like how you included carnival of Venice at the end to demonstrated its smooth and precise valve movement
There was a version of 'Carnival of Venice" played on an old kids' show, maybe an episode of the Little Rascals, that sounded as if it was played on that cornet. I tried to find it, but it wasn't easily dredged out of apocrypha.
I used to play a bunch of brass instruments, but a car accident in 2006 left me with a severely limited lift weight and endurance. A full-metal instrument is simply too heavy for me to hold nowadays. The moment arm on my shoulders and neck is too great and the pain is incredible. But I found that the Tromba ABS plastic trumpet is quite playable, weighing only 500 grams. Another playable instrument, designed primarily for kids and beginners, but still usable, is the Nuvo JHorn. Another plastic instrument, it reminds me strongly of the Tenor (Alto) Horn. It has a hybrid piston/rotary valve system that reminds me of a locomotive drive wheel arrangement, with a piston arm pushing an eccentric wheel to rotate the valve body. Both are very lightweight and I can play them long enough to be worthwhile.
I also have the Nuvo JSax, which I can make decent music on, given it's an all-plastic instrument with plastic reed, and that I've never played a saxophone before. But the strangest of the lot is a Roland AE-01 Aerophone, a MIDI wind controller with built-in synth that can be set to sound like a flute, violin, trumpet, or soprano sax. It has a "trumpet fingering" mode that I find rather opaque, so I use the sax fingering when in trumpet mode. It's not half bad, and I can add virtual instruments through an Android app on my phone, or I can plug it straight to my computer with USB and use it with a DAW as a plain MIDI controller.
Similar to what every drummer expects upon hearing "you can use our house kit, just bring a pair of sticks"
Trent, you're a brave man!
Re: The valve marked "34"... Some very serious pro instruments have valves numbers that aren't simply "1-2-3" - obviously not the case here, but probably for the same reason: if you build a batch of valves and valveblocks and you number them all individually (for that batch) then you can make sure the correct valves end up in the correct instrument...
My old Selmer K-Mod (since departed) had valves numbered in the hundreds!
"Oooh!"
-Trent Hamilton, 2018
still sounds by better than my concert band brass section
That's pretty much the same thing I said.
That was the saddest “in the mood” ever.
The solos at the end had me in tears. Absolutely hilarious.
I Think I damaged myself laughing at the exiting performance 😂😂😂😂😂😂
This is by far Trent’s most serious, free flowing, gig ready review🙂
I had to go and get the mop and pail after listening to 9:09 onward...
You never fail to cheer me up, Trent. Keep up the good work!
It would be fun to see a repair expert attempt to bring this instrument into playable condition (coat, hone, polish, port, pad, etc.) I wonder how far one could go?
as a cornet player I was legit gagging, not only is this "instrument" really bad, it is the worst and most disgusting cornet I've have ever seen.
I got a new title for the video "the worlds cheapest piece of scrap metal
MrTDS nah scrap metal is typically at least useful from an industrial standpoint. Whatever it's made of is probably not worthy for a landfill
I hope that is not really the case, you can get alot better instrument for only slightly more
@Justin Y. I honestly don't know what's wrong with you. Chances are you made that up and are a shitty person, and the other way is that instead of calling the cops on your dad for hitting you, which is what you should have done, you complain about someone with legitimate opinions about a shitty cornet. It's shitty; deal with it.
Zander Grier r/wooooosh
Has a trumpet player my heart got hurt
They weren't totally wrong with the fun, but serious instrument... I mean, it's not serious, but it's certainly fun, I laughed my brains out 🤣🤣🤣
Trent Hamilton whenever you play something on one of the cheap instruments you should compare it to a better/more expensive one + 2nd person to comment on this video
Certainly your funniest video ever! Great job Trent!
9:20 I'm literally dying of laughter. I expected your nice outro, but I got this!! I'm not even joking, I'm laughing so hard that I'm crying!!
still funny a year later
mi stomach aches
It's a questionable bugle in Bb, and maybe a few other semi-acceptable keys.
He played In the Mood by Glenn Miller (barely recognisable).
I broke up when he tried to play it. It was hilarious but better then I could ever play it.
I know everyone is probably talking about the horn but CAN WE TALK ABOUT HOW COOL THAT KNIFE LOOKED?
I recently got something similar off eBay. The one I received came with a case and has a trumpet mouthpiece receiver (and a mouthpiece that fit wobbily, but the receiver fits my Bach mouthpiece well enough)...and of course that smell. Pretty sure the smell is molybdenum disulfide; clearly they lubricated the valve threads and slides with whatever axle grease they had lying around. Valve quality is somewhat better that what you have. Played shite at first, but a good pipe cleaning and valve swab-out and relubrication made it much more playable. I have a mouthpiece adapter on order (from a reputable source); hopefully this will at least sound close enough to an actual cornet once I get my Yamaha mouthpiece in it. Bought this because I wanted something to practice on until I can get my old YamaConn Director back in playable condition.
Sometimes I wonder why you do this to yourself, but I definitely appreciate being along for the ride
All of a sudden the Carnival of Venice sounds like a Funeral...
This is why I pretty much always buy used. I’ve been a woodwind player for a long time, and recently wanted to try getting into brass. Bought a used getzen tone balanced super deluxe cornet online. It’s great, I have absolutely zero complaints. 70 years old and just over 100USD shipped to my door
Trent, I have that exact cornet and it’s counterfeit stamped Blessing with a serial number dating 1910. It’s horrible. The valves are rough just like yours. My repair shop thought it was an Indian knock off made to pass as a Blessing. I may hang it on the wall but that’s it. Caveat Emptor.
Can you make more 3d printed mouthpieces
Chneeseum at it's best. Was that the Carnival of Taipei?
I'm in stitches. I needed this laugh. lol This thing isn't worthy for department stores. "Totally gig ready." 😂 It's like a 14 year old wrote the description. And your little showcase at the end had me laughing. I could imagine your face as you shake your head while compiling this video. lol My day has been made. Thank you.
That's one quality duck call you bought there Trent.
When you played "In the Mood" you scared the hell out of me since I've been singing that song all morning and it's been weeks since I heard it for the last time 😅
I've been brought to tears with how beautiful it sounds
LOL!!! Hearing that thing was one of the funnier things I've heard in a while.
Lol 2:04. I love your. Videos. Trent. And. That. Carnival of Venice. 👌
Professor Snape I love that part too! I think Trent has definitely gotten better when it comes to TH-cam, unlike most TH-camrs
Soci ety Yea he is really good
That is the deepest, most in tune horn I have ever heard.
Ouch! Trent, my sides are aching after hearing you play Carnival of Venice at the end. I'm speechless. I am without speech.
BTW monel is a lead alloy that was used to coat steam engine parts and lap to size before precision grinding was invented. it is acid resistant but wears away quickly so people who own bach strads are sending their horns in to have the monel replaced and resized every 3-5 years that play many hours per week
Lead is probably even softer than *gold.*
Monel is nickel and copper used for corrosion resistance
2:50 Trent’s laugh reminds me of my mom for some reason…
The sound brings the term 'strangling a cat' to mind...
I have never heard a C Cornet. And the first one hear is... that...
It isn’t a C cornet, it’s in Bb, or is supposed to be. I didn’t have any of the tuning slides out when playing.
Luggage Stomvi makes a C Cornet
Trent Hamilton sounds like it’s A
@@Joseph-bb8dl I think if it was A flat cornet, it'd sound better.
actually it's in B
Like the shipping, the smell is free.
waddyer talkin about it - its gig ready if you are going to haunt a house or provide sonic pest control. :P I suppose you could use it to clear the room as well.
gotta love that carnival of Venice and in the mood.
It was so funny when you read the claims then played In the Mood. Great channel too.
TRENT! How the heck can you play that riff at 9:09 on that monstrosity - without laughing? I kept rewinding that section and after a few times - I was ON THE FLOOR, laughing like a hyena...My question is this: Why even MAKE something as flawed as this? What a WASTE of brass (or maybe, it ISN'T brass - it's MONEL?) I thought my ancient 60 year old 'Oxford' cornet was terrible - but THIS? O M G. I haven't played the Oxford in a decade - but, after picking myself off the floor - I gave it a whirl. Wow. Thank you for making my day! James in Toronto
No Monel, it's all brass. Have you checked out this? th-cam.com/video/i32yzlIbaIU/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for the laughs! 🤣🤣
I just discovered this channel and I really like it!
makes a nice lamp.
Too expensive for a lamp. I bought a Chinese clarinet for 6 bucks for that. Perfect!
In case you all are wondering in the sped up part of the video he first says, “I will now open this.” And the second time he says, “I am being very careful and (something) as to not scratch the instrument at all.”
I recently bought a used euphonium from someone who included a screen shot of the item on amazon. When I checked it out, one of the comments mentioned a strong, nasty smell, especially the case. When I picked it up, I understood the smell thing and immediately sent it off to get cheek cleaned. I didn't pay much and it functions, so I'm ok with the deal, but the other weird issue is it turns my hands black! I think the finish is THAT easy to rub off
Thanks for keeping us cautious when shopping online :)
*hears harmonic series* well, it kay be fun, but its definitely not a serious
Spray paint it a colour and use it in a piece of art Like the blue French horn on how I met you mother
Lmao
On the plus side..you have a new lamp now :)
I'm not a band player of these instruments but have potential to learn them as an adult. I do however work with wood, if you bought a round wood pole it would saved you sanding. Home Depot sells them which could saved you from what could been serious belt sander injuries. In my opinion you could have had someone with a lathe to round it for you as well. Which would been a lot safer than a belt sander
Trent you should totally record your outro with that trumpet and use that from now on 😂
Nice playing there. Any kid would love to hear it.
4:03 I actually laughed out loud
Never play in the mood ever again
Sounds good to me... love your videos, funny stuff.... makes me smile...
This thing is probably worth more in scrap metal.
Lol those tuning slides are great
That mouthpiece is a piece of art , I’d try my best to use it whenever I could lol
Well, the valves may not be well-cut or line up with the pipes, but they sure are circles!
You will have to purchase some clover compound to lap in the valve..
I actually was cross-eyed for years (before getting it surgically fixed) and even I could have cut that second valve tubing more accurately.
Trent. Liam. Big Liam. You know the one. I watched this. Thanks.
HR??
Its only when u played that thing the fun started 😂 🙈
Can you do a review on that gas mask please
Respirator. Not even sure if it's good for asbestos (actually *not* toxic just very small & sharp, so it'll slice up your DNA, and if the cells are living, will cause cancer). And asbestos isn't *_nearly_* as small as *gas* molecules.
2:50 Open + shock + LAUGH
Trent, when you lap in the valves. put them from the bottom of the valve casing.
Surprised I could recognize in the mood
Love the closing, playing the crap cornet. Hilarious...it's like the "without autotune" videos. I play guitar and keyboards but I wanted to pick up a horn, trumpet or cornet and try to play one. Your vid helps to recognize what the really cheap ones are and how they perform. I see a lot of used (mostly student) horns, but I don't want to spend a lot as an adult beginner. Any recommendations?
It's an awesome channel mate - good style, and good content! LIKE!
the fact you’re wearing a mask in the thumbnail 😂 what an insane prediction
I recall that my cornet stank too. I flushed it with water once in a while but it still stank. Maybe should have used liquid soap. If you don't brush your teeth before playing, the food particles go into the cornet along with the usual saliva.
LAMP TIME.
The mouthpiece looks like the top of a candle holder.
Ah! So that's what the trumpeter in the Guckenheimer Sauerkraut Band used!
Next up, make a video trying to get the best performance out of this. I'd start by polishing the valves with some trusty old wet/dry and then autosol metal polish. Fix the other problems with a hammer.
Are you sure the valves are in the right holes?
well obviously not he had valve 34 in place of 1...
If they weren’t in the right slots then no air would come through at all, the manufacturer probably miscalculated where the holes should be
@TheBlack Panther not true. My trumpet came with the first and third valves swapped and it sounded exactly like this at firsr.
@@drakegaming2819 I intentionally did that and the air was blocked....
Bruh when he played in the mood😂
You could make better sounds with a pvc pipe and a large thread spool! We used to make them as kids.. 😂
Not too bad 🎶🎺🎶depends on your standard 😂😂😂🎺🎶
Cool Trademe shirt my dude, heaps of love from Aro Vally.
I work in the same suburb you live in. Nice
Hahahahah omgosh ty for actaully trying to play it at the end :)
You can always add it to your elaborate wall hanger collection. And for that purpose only I would use this so-called instrument. Or have it made into a desk lamp. 😉
This is the first cheap instrument that I have seen that I would steer people away no matter what. Sometimes it is better to have a low quality instrument to learn on than no instrument. Unfortunately all I can see is this thing turning a budding musician off of playing an instrument. Great Review.
