Great video! I have an Elkhart 62H that I love the sound of but the dependent valves get in the way a lot. would you mind sharing how yours was modified to be independent? Or maybe another video on that horn because it's super cool 😅
Hi there! My Conn was modified by the legendary West Coast instrument builder and tech Larry Minick. This happened well before I received the horn, so I'm not sure how he went about it - but I do know he did an absolutely wonderful job!
Something I was wondering when hearing bass trombone solo pieces, does bass trombone have some peculiarities in sound in the upper register compared to a tenor?
It definitely does! It will depend on the instrument and player mostly, but the slightly larger mouthpiece, as well as the bore size combined with a widened throat leading to a larger bell will change the character - usually resulting in something like a wider timbre
