If you get a chance, go to one of their concerts. They are the height of superb technical ability, musicianship, and showmanship. If you are a student musician, just being in their presence and soaking it in may help you improve. Or at least give you some goals to set.
@Charles Kinzer: I have had the chance to see them twice, once in Tampa and David Ohanian had just replaced Martin Hackleman and the second time in in Sarasota, just after Fred Mills had just retired and was in the audience.
Attended their concert at Kean University's Enlow Hall last night. It was sooooo fantastic!! I would recommend attending one of their concerts, It was an enjoyable evening!!
as a fan for over 30 yrs., this romper-stomper LIVE, in my ATMOS HT,-DSU and also in stereo, fabulous spacious sound all around, but that tuba, with the 3 subs and excellent engineers , plenty of grunt rumble and soaring bright clear horns.
The Marines ought to have Chuck do a guest appearance with their Silent Drill Platoon and have him do his tuba antics in place of the Platoon's normal rifle inspection demonstration. The Marine Band could play 'back up'.
Chuck has these tubes with a black bell and green bell from which brands and is it a full metal tube or is the bell made separately from another material?
Chuck had many tubas custom fitted with a black carbon fiber bell, made by George McCracken. The horn in this video is likely some sort of Conn CC tuba. (Edit: I had a brief conversation with Chuck concerning the tuba he uses. He told me it consists of a lot of Conn parts. I’ll have to figure out more the next time I see him.) Chuck also put his custom bells on Getzen tubas. Back when they were produced, the company even offered the carbon bells to be available. I would someday like to find a carbon bell to fit on one of my horns.
@@zakkasian Chuck play on tubas in Bb or C ? The sound of the trombone is very cool soft and sounds like a French horn very neat and soft and who played the trombone in these videos and what brand of trombone does he have? early videos in the canadian ensemble the tuba player had an all-metal tuba. This is apparently also Conn in C ? ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_OO7sityUwE.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-mgMn68Rgva0.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Qvc4955x_W8.html
@@Dima-Composer. Chuck plays almost exclusively CC tubas. The instrument you inquired in those links are Yamaha YCB-621 Tubas. It’s been his main horn for a while. The Trombone player in these videos is Achilles Liarmakopoulos. He’s a real nice guy! He uses Bach and Conn Tenor trombones. Here’s a good video of what he can do: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-zek5-C0ajWk.html
@@zakkasian Yes, he's a great trombonist. I have a saxophone Yamaha yts 25. Yamahas are good and soft in sound, isn't it .. And the horn player apparently also plays the horn on the Yamaha in these videos that I sent you via the links? The horn player plays well with a soft sound along with a trombone. 👍👍 trumpeters play very masterfully on these videos, I liked the trumpeter very masterfully plays (the one with a beard). It seems they have Bach trumpets.?!
