- The worst part about playing the tuba is having the valves empty themselves all over your lap...

Now get a little potted plant to keep underneath the outlet tube so you can make beautiful music while growing a small flower simultaneously
A true tuba player is at peace with the fact that the tuba will pee on them. It’s just a part of life.
This video should be named "How to potty train a tuba"
... proving conclusively that rotary valves are infinitely superior because they have no holes ... on the other hand you need at least three types of oil to keep them in shape.
Thank you, Trent, for your videos. I hope you know and appreciate the happiness and joy you spread across the globe!!!
Please stop reffering to them as "little nipples" it disgusts a deep part of me. But Ill definetly try this strategy and my Euph.
In high school (over 50 years ago) had the same problem at football games where the spit valve used to leak when we were in the stands (marching it would just hit the ground.) In late fall when your pants would get wet, IT WAS COLD! Good solution!
That's hot
FINALLY YOU MAKE A VIDEO ON THE IMPORTANT THINGS!!!!!!!! XD
Sousaphones like to do this a lot. You can always ID us sousaphone players at the end of band rehearsal just by the big wet spot on our shirts.
My euphonium leaks on me too. Spit, valve oil, you name it. Often looks like I peed myself because of where the spit valve is located.
Nice idea! Our bass players just put a bar towel on their knees! ;-)
Quite an elegant solution! I have the same issue with my BBb in band - might try something similar
Yes folks, large brass instruments have nipples. Each tap in your house is connected to a wingback by a nipple. Older cars have grease nipples. Without nipples the whole world would cease to function. If you play 'fly me to the moon' the machine that takes you there will have many nipples too. Every man and woman in the world has at least two nipples. Some are purely decorative, others are dual purpose. There is no need to be offended by euphonium nipples of which there are four like many mammals. Woodwind players, of course also have two nipples each.
Very ingenious Trent 😊
When listing the reasons for the hole I am glad you didn't say it's for putting oil in lol
I just made a modification to my Triumphonic BBb tuba especially for the Whit Friday March contests. I have back problems and was ready to pull out as I couldn't strap on the BBb without getting back pain. I solved it by making an adjustable leg that screws into a fitting on the bottom of my tuba and allows me to stand and play without having the weight of the BBb messing me up.
It worked a bloody treat 😁
Every tuba player finds it disgusting when they begin. After they take playing seriously they just dont care or just wipe it off with their sleeve. At least that's what ive found after 6 years of research (7th grade to 12th grade).
MangoGod86 try marching tuba in a drum corps. Spit comes back out on you. It’s fucking hilarious when people see me covered in liquid and think it’s sweat. Little to they know...
I Managed to Nick a 'Grime Gutter' from a besson euphonium and it fits my Besson Sovereign EEb Bass...
THANK YOU
I have never had this king of problem with my horn, but that's a nice way to deal with it ! Of course, I only have a rotary valves euphonium !
Thank you
He said Nipples and kink in the same sentence, This Man knows no fear
Yeah, TH-cam did originally mark this video as being potentially inappropriate.
this is the tuba i play, and this is true it’ll leak out my valves and mess up my sound like crazy
Or "man fits catheter to aging bass".
Relatable content
Very clever!
this happens to me with my euphonium too...
same problem with my baritone...
Perhaps I don't have this problem because my tuba has rotary valves. I don't have it with my piston valve euphonium either, however.
Ha! Jokes on you!
I play trombone
I play the saxophone and I have this problem
I use rotary valves...
use a terry cloth wash cloth.
Congratulations on making nationals!
Don't some bass players just stuff a rag under it?
Try to put the 4th valve in as well, i have experiance with a besson euphonium
What about the compensating valve?
It was a pee tuba? Sometimes bandsmen must improvise. One night about 45 years ago we were out playing carols and we ran out of light. Next day I improvised a small light and battery on my lyre so I could see. I was teased about it. A couple of nights later we ran out of light again out in the country and I was asked to hold up my tiny light bulb so everybody could benefit from the light. Those that teased me then shut up.
Dear Trent,
First of all I would like to say that you enjoy your videos very much! Keep up the good work. Secondly, how do you feel about Olds trumpets? I own an Ambassador from the 70's, which I bought for around 300 dollars. It serves my very well in how it looks, plays and feels. But I am very curious as to how the higher tier Olds trumpets are, especially Recording and Super. Have you got any experience with these types, if so can you make a video where in you can review these trumpets? Thanks in advance!
Hi, the Ambassador is a lower grade product from olds, but still quite reputable. I have an Ambassador trombone in my collection that hasn't yet been restored. I've heard the higher grade Olds trumpets and trombones are some of the best available. Don't let the age of the instruments hold you back - Old's kit has a fantastic reputation.
Trent Hamilton Thanks for your reaction. My trumpet feels better and less used than cheap new trumpets that I bought before. Furthermore old instruments have that kind of feel and style to it, you can feel that the instrument has aged like a fine wine, if you know what I mean.
Stick it's nose in it and say "bad!" In a firm tone.
plot twist, it’s doesn’t work
I have a trumpet that doesn't have those holes
Simple solution: buy a new trumpet.
Is it a rotary trumpet?
.
Thats... A wierd title well not as me😄 also that's a nice kazoo
lol
That's not an exhaust pipe, it's a catheter...
Seriously though, I can't remember having that problem on the rotary valve instruments I used to play - is it a specific problem of piston valves only?
Yes, although only on some instruments. With a lot of piston valve instruments, the valves are vented, so there's a small hole that goes through the valve out to the hole in the bottom so when you move a slide it doesn't go pop when you press the valve down. That's what causes the valve to leak, so if you don't have vented valves you don't get peed on. With rotors, the vent is usually very small and facing some direction other than down, so there isn't a problem because spit isn't going to get out.
So you're basically giving the tuba a toilet ?
Happens with my Yamaha Neo Euphonium. Hate it. I’m in High School and it pees on my really bad and it looks like I had a really really bad accident. 😂🤣. Yeah I hate it. No one really cares because I explain it, I hate explaining it.
Trent i am looking for a pre owned tuba to use at home please contact me when ever you are available
There’s not much I can do to help you, I’m afraid.
You have four walve.
..
I get that alot
Classy
Haha I Remember when the school sousaphone speed on me as I had just switched to tuba bc our guy was graduating. (Spit valve was inner thigh right above where my crotch area was) It was my own spit though, relax
Does this guide work for euphoniums too?
Sure, as long as you have the nipples under the valves.
Awesome, thanks!
Neat
funny
Honestly, all I have to say is thank you.
I had a sousaphone piss on me :(
Hello nice video. Bro
Interesting.
I can do six octaves on tuba. Is that concerning?
Chuffy04 i can do 3 1/2 octaves. you need help...
Yes because it is scientifically proven that after 3 octaves it sounds like trash, especially if it's not a compensating instrument
I don't think sheer range has ever mattered to anyone older than 12. You'll never win a competition or get a job just because you can play higher or lower than someone else.
.......
darkcheffy0ver9000 do it cuz
😏
Is this Minecraft?
Yes... yes this is minecraft
no this is patrick
Do you play forknife?
I’m early
