Thank you for your interest in my video. It's an interesting question, and not easy for me to answer unequivocally. There are many factors that go into a proper production recording of a tuba, and they don't just depend on FX. In this video, to answer in simple terms, only De-click and Limiter is used. I'll tell you the truth, I've been doing audio recordings of wind instruments for 25 years. I have a concept of how to play the microphone at live concerts or for recording in the house, or professional studio. There are many tutorials on You Tube on this subject. Simple advice - try recording, the more you play on record, the better you sound at live performances. Don't be afraid to make mistakes. mistakes are good.
It's wild to be able to just play C and B straight on without any intonation issues! Are these kinds of horns widely available? Might actually do the trick for me, an amateur, and probably cheaper than a comparable 4 valve compensating horn..
Thanks for the comment. I think that for a tuba player, a 4-valve tuba is better. Because this tuba is already a big rarity, very heavy in weight, it was not comfortable for me to carry such a tuba. As for intonation, that's right, it's a good example.
Сразу вспоминается случай на репетиции. Дирижёр: - Так, контр-фагот, возьмите Соль. К-Фагот: - берёт Соль Дирижёр: - Так, теперь Си-бемоль К-Фагот: - берёт Си-бемоль Дирижёр: - Так, всë понятно, играйте, что хотите.
I have one of those...it's not Wessex, it's a Schiller, but essentially the same and likely from the same Chinese factory. That's not a dig...mine plays and sounds amazing and seems to be very well built. I love it.
@@Old_Man_Flux Thanks for the comment. Yes, Wessex is guilty of putting their logo on musical instruments made in China and presenting it as English quality.
Os seus vídeos são espetaculares, principalmente os que você toca com a Tuba Weril J680 Bb (mesma tuba que possuo). Sou um músico iniciante e isso me motiva a estudar mais. Saudações. Fernando - Brasil.
I have done extensive comparisons of mouthpieces lately and have heard something that I did not focus on before. We listen to edge, bite, articulation, but do we hear what uses the horn better. The Sass (my favorite) uses the whole instrument - sound vibrations resonate at the top of the bell - where the rim ends. PT-50 pushes the sound past the bell rim about 6 - 8 inches beyond the horn. In my little world (my opinion & possibly not yours), this extension of the sound can become loose and unbalanced - splitting notes. Other mouthpieces I have tried finds the sound resonance stuffy and feels like sound stops before it gets to the flare of the bell or gets lost in the bell neck and never reaching the full potential of the bell. Thus, in my opinion, for the last 10+ years, I have turned many of my students and stand partners on to the Jon Sass model. The fact that I met Jon in Austria when I was touring with Henry Threadgill has nothing to do with it. The mouthpiece also has a unique block of sound - each note is like a stack of children's blocks - each note is it's own block of sound getting rid of the slippery mess in-between notes. The Sass - I use on my Yamaha 321 CC & a borrowed Miraphone. (jazz / funk / dixieland) On my B&S PT-6P - I use G5B, or Giddings Bayamo, on occasion. (concert band, symphonic) Sorry for the thesis.
Dear friend, thank you very much for your extensive comment. It is a very valuable observation not only for you but also for other tuba players. My personal feeling is that I play with different mouthpieces according to my mood. The Sass mouthpiece for me is small but very brash, I love it for its sharpness and quick response. PT50 beats the sound of a 4/4 size tuba double bass (BBb) well, especially for "Leningrad". For a Conn H. 7B sousaphone - or the rare Yamaha Canadian Brass. The options are many. All depends on the state of mind and body of the musician.
Браво солисту и браво концертмейстеру!!! Не нашла в описании её фамилии, а жаль. Такого мастерства концертмейстер как минимум достоин быть указанным в титрах
WOW! What an exercise! I’m sure not used to holding all three valves down but then releasing one then back to 123! Almost like using the valves in reverse or something! I’ll have to work on duplicating that! You always suggest experimenting and getting out of comfort zone. Thanks for the great videos!
Thank you for your comment. I agree with the answer that this exercise is not easy because the tuba B-flat is used. Perhaps on the F tuba, the fingering would be much more comfortable. p.s. Thanks for the compliment, it's a pleasure!
Стас Спасибо Огромное! Сам пианист, но приходится играть в школьном оркестре на тубе! Досталась старая мятая туба. Не знал как сделать ТО. Благодаря тебе сделал! Подписка и Лайк!!!
Tenho um instrumento igual a este e depois que assisti aos seus vídeos passei a gostar ainda mais. Saudações. Fernando - São Paulo - Brasil (Espero que possa entender meu comentário)
