@@recruitdifficulty1638 Nope, while there were older bass trombones pitched in various keys; G, F, EB etc. The modern bass trombone is pitched in Bb with either single or dual valves, most bass trombonists rather an instrument with independent dual valves with tuning of Bb/F/Gb/D, Bb being the natural fundamental of the horn, F being the thumb valve, Gb the valve operated by either 1st or 2nd finger, and D the combination of both valves. Traditionally contra-basses were pitched in Bb, but the modern F contra is greatly preferred. The Bb contra has the advantage of sharing slide positions with the tenor and modern bass trombone, but that is offset by the fact it requires more air, is heavier, and the slide offers much more resistance due to its increased weight and contact area due to the double slide.
@@recruitdifficulty1638 bass bones in Bb. Contras in Bb an octave below like tuba or F like a tuba in F. I play bass bone with an F trigger, Gb trigger n together they give ya low D.
@@johnheywoodtrombone Can you indicate me how low is the 'low D' you are talking about, but in International Scientific Pitch? The term 'low D' is ambiguous, since there is more than 1 low D. These are low Ds: D1, D2 and D3.
Мой любимый музыкальный инструмент и любимое звучание. Ох, хотел я тромбон, пока не узнал цены на них) А еще это нужно учиться играть и бережно обращаться.
Gage Peterson it’s different. It’s the same reason many tubists pick up bass bone (as I am) I was always really good at my low register but tuba parts simply never called for those pedal and fourth valve registers. Bass bone calls for it all the time I frickin love it.
The trombone is a cylindrical brass instrument and the tuba is conical. There is a pretty difference between the tone quality that they each produce. I play the trumpet so I'm pretty used to cylindrical instruments, but I still prefer the sound of conical instruments like the Euphonium or the Flugelhorn. To each their own I guess.
Gotten F0 on Tuba before (yay pedal tones), I expect I do the same or on a Contrabass Trombone (provided I use a similar sized mouthpiece, which would be appropriate for a BBb Contra in particular).

I do not believe it is a Thein actually. Three reasons, One: Its hard to see but his seems to have a extended spit valve when a Thein contra has a unique button mechanism near the brace. Two: the tubing of the second trigger extends way too close to the bell on this model, a Thein has it much further back. Three: Not sure if Thein makes a fixed bell horn, but it seems that most have a detachable bell.

Traditionally they were, but a double slide is heavier and has more resistance due to double the contact area. The F contra also has the advantages of requiring less air and being (overally) lighter. While the slide positions are further apart on the F contra, it offers better slide action and a second valve, also the F contra is much more suited to playing above the bass clef staff.
there's no way in hell that is a BBb contrabass trombone because of the length of the slide and the fact that has 2 triggers when no BBb contrabass trombones have 2 triggers
I keep being amazed by the lack of the smaller trombones in trombone choires. I see no alto, no soprano, no sopranino and no piccolo. Why is it still called a choir if a complete range of instruments is missing?
Messy. Goofy piece of music. A little beyond the ability a few of the players. A good examplar of the important idea that it's harder (if not impossible) to perform a lousy piece of music well. Better to have chosen an easier piece with more interesting harmonic changes and less jumping all over the map key-wise. But plenty of talent in this ensemble obviously. Would be great to hear them work out on something else.
Conrad Nickelson you may give me an answer. Isn’t an f instrument technically bass. The original bass trombones were in the g just above that. I guess the double valve makes it contrabass. It plays the same register as a Eb or F bass tuba though.
@@Leo-vr3bgmodern bass trombones are in Bb, but are a larger bore size and have 2 valves allowing greater flexibility and more importantly, the ability to play fully chromatically in the low range. While yes, in the 1800s bass trombones were in G, F, and Eb, modern contrabass trombones are most commonly in F, but the C and Bb contras do still exist and are even less commonly called for than the already exceedingly rare F contra
Great music, but why no women? Those little girls in the audience are learning that there is no place for them playing trombone... or perhaps any other brass instruments... or perhaps any instruments at all...
There have been studies on the audition process and it is kind of biased simply because of the fact that most judges naturally think men are better at brass instruments. When autionees have to play in front of the judges, the bias is significant towards males. But when the audition is behind a screen and the judge has no idea what the auditionee looks like, it is much closer to a 50/50. So honestly, there are a lot of women trombonists who are likely better than the men who win the audition. Not like I should be complaining as a college bass trombonist who needs to start winning auditions pretty soon.
Brylan Caldwell it’s not like a tuba, the tuba is a muted instrument with trombones you can get that loud edgy sound. Also you have a slide and you can glissando to make that sound where people don’t tongue it sounds really cool and can be used at various points in music. Ps: are you high the contrabass is very well established it’s been around for around 500 years.

I thought the contrabass trombone had a double slide. Or are there multiple variations?
there is multiple. the double slide is unnecessary nowadays due to there being triggers
This specific version is a contrabass trombone in FF (same as an FF tuba), the one you are thinking of is a BBb (same as a BBb tuba)
does anyone know what model contrabass trombone this is?
Its pitched in f thats all im sure for
Probably a Thein
Phoenixfeater09 guess it’s a Thein universal

Mikesb69 - most of them do
The ones in BBb do. This is an F contrabass, so it only needs a single slide and a slightly longer arm
