Kind of what the other guy said, try moving more air through the horn and play with your teeth and mouth open. Right now, your tone sounds a little pinched.
@@konversationkoopa7680 more or less yeah. To get a more characteristic classical trombone sound, like Jay Friedman or Joe Alessi, you need to listen to their sound A LOT and imagine that sound coming out of your bell. A good way to practice this is by playing the Remington warm-up studies "Tuning long tones" and focusing on sounding like these players; imagine their sound coming out of your bell. Make sure to play with an open aperture, a good proportion of top and bottom lip for the buzz (roughly 50/50 each lip, depending on your lips), and lots of air. By 'lots of air' I don't mean that you should overblow the horn or play excessively loud; rather, focus a good volume of air directly forward into the mouthpiece, taking care not to spread it in the mouthpiece. You can find videos of Joe Alessi on TH-cam talking about these fundamental aspects of playing. I also recommend you watch Peter Steiner's video on the warm-up. These will give you an understanding of how exactly to produce a good sound, and exercises to utilize these principles. One more thing; when I was first working on my sound, it helped me a lot to completely forget the buzz and focus 100% on the air. The website 'trombone tools' with David Vining is a great tool also for reading up on fundamentals.
@@tired108 Hey, thanks for the detailed reply. I'm kind of new to playing the trombone (first brass instrument), so thanks for explaining how to get a better sound.
do you have a plastic trombone or something if you dont try and get a new mouthpiece and get that horn checked out and instead of playing high play really low notes for better tone

Wow i'm the first viewer❤❤❤
Crazy!
Hey man! Nice playing! I think you would sound great with some more air and a more characteristic sound, like Peter Steiner or Joe Alessi!
You say a "more characteristic sound" like you can just think of a sound and you'll get it ?? What do you mean?

But the key signature ?
Try tuning the instrument.

I don't think the horn is at fault here. Always look towards the player before blaming the trombone
I just got a new one since so I am trying to figure out if that was the issue
