    Nice to see videos like these. I'm a composer and I am curious about how certain instruments like the contrabass trombone sound on their own. It reminds me of the time I attended a live performance of Schoenberg's Gurrelieder in the 1970's and the sight of the brass section alone was stunning. 10 horns (4 doubling on Wagner tubas), 6 trumpets, bass trumpet, alto trombone, 4 tenor-bass trombones, bass trombone, contrabass trombone, contrabass tuba. And the chord at the end of Part I -- wow what a sound.

    I much prefer the tuba, but I think in particular pieces the contrabass trombone would be better. The tuba can make a really clean, soft, rich sound, but can also be a fun instrument, like in a polka. The trombone however seems to make a less clean sound, sort of in between a tuba and a contrabass bassoon. Therefore I think in certain pieces that could be very very cool. Nevertheless, they both are beautiful instruments; gotta love contrabass...

    I'm not sure of others' experiences, but the music at 2:16 is written for trombone/baritone b.c. B-flat tuba music is written an octave lower. Some of those notes, as written, would require either a humming bird passing gas into the mouthpiece or your name is Dr. Charles Daellenbach. Also, as others have intimated, don't "Dizzy Gilespie" on the mouthpiece. Can do a lot of damage to your facial and neck muscles.
    Also, I played 3 years with a CB trombone mouthpiece for both sousaphone and tuba and I loved it so much better than the standard tuba mouthpiece.

  • @timothytikker1147
    @timothytikker1147 ปีที่แล้ว

    One of my most important instrumentation lessons occurred when I heard a student performance of Edgard Varèse's _Intégrales_, in which a tuba was substituted for the contrabass trombone. I was very familiar with the work, and so was quite alarmed at how the tuba didn't fit in at all. It wasn't just a question of the tuba being incapable of the trombone's slide glissandi so dear to Varèse. It was mostly in how dull, fat and unblending the tuba sounded in that context, and wound up sticking out like a sore thumb.
    Now, I don't at all mean this as a rejection of the tuba as an instrument. It is a beautiful and worthy instrument in its right. It just has a very particular -- and weighty -- role to play, which is very different from that of the contrabass trombone.

      There is a variety of shapes and sizes when it comes to tubas. The instrument he has there is a 4/4 (full size) compensating BBb tuba. Depending on the band environment you play in you may be more familiar with EEb tubas, or if you're a school student maybe even 3/4 or 1/2 size tubas.
      Incase it's just a perception thing, that tuba is pretty close in size to the marching tubas/contrabass bugles used in DCI (a very American type of band)

    I know that Roger Bobo had Miraphone make him a contra-bass trombone when he was playing in the L. A. Brass. He felt that in some of the music the trombone tone worked better with the trumpets and the tenor trombone. The tuba worked better in combination with groups that included the horn and the euphonium.

    • @gustru2078
      @gustru2078 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The tuba doesn't have the difficulty of using a slide to make the different notes but as a Tuba player, I can guarantee you that it takes *alot* more air to play properly and sound good on a tuba, which is probably why he found it more enjoyable to play on the trombone. I find the sound of the trombone alot more piercing and kind of annoying. Just my opinion. Let the tuba play the lows, it'll always sound better.
