On March 8 - 2012 I drove to Bremen to test the prototype of a complete new THEIN contrabass trombone. Although I am very happy with my recent "Ben van Dijk" model I had the idea there could be made some changes to make the instrument play even easier.
Max Thein and his team took this up seriously and created a complete new model. A long intense day of testing made me very happy.
The new "UNIVERSAL THEIN Contrabass Trombone" is just amazing.
This short video gives you a short impression of this wonderful day! I hope you will enjoy it!
The instrument will be presented during the Frankfurter Musik Messe 2012.

god, i would kill to have one of these.

What a magnificent instrument! The sound is absolutely beautiful and majestic in very register and dynamic. The contrabass trombone is an important instrument in e.g. the music of Edgard Varèse, and cannot be replaced by any other instrument (I once heard Intégrales performed with bass tuba as substitute, and the effect was completely wrong!).

As a bass trombonist, i would love to play one of these.

Sweet tone, sir, nice sounds in all registers. Ban the tuba, make them switch to a pure instrument, the contrabass

No, I'm not a salesman. I've heard of all of these, but with Getzen's Custom Series, that kind of blows away any competition. And it's false that Edwards is better. Getzen and Edwards trombones are put together with the exact same parts by the exact same people with the exact same features. Literally only difference is one says Getzen on the bell and the other says Edwards.

@AidanRitchie 12 лет назад

That is correct. But saying "Getzen makes the best trombones in the world" is a far cry from saying Getzens are very similar to Edwards. Which is only true up to a point.

@1946psoren 12 лет назад

thanks for posting this video. i am a big fan of Ben and Thein and together i feel they make the best bass trombone sound anywhere.

Hi Ben, your new contrabass sounds amazing! What's the music at the end of your video? It sounds like a piece for brass ensemble- All the best Phillip

@AidanRitchie 12 лет назад

Are you a salesman? Getzen makes great horns, no doubt. But "highest rated and highest quality?" Have you heard of Shires? Edwards (made by the same people as Getzen, but better) or Rath? Greenhoe? Thein, even?

@AidanRitchie 12 лет назад

But have you played them? I'm serious, dude, Getzen makes great horns, but they're a step down from all of those, including Edwards. Edwards are custom horns, made with different parts (yes, different) usually in a custom way by craftsmen at Edwards, while Getzens are made a factory by different people. They have similar designs, but Edwards are where the good designs come from.

The contra bone is the god of the low brass section, only appearing occasionally but bringing an awesome experience and sound that is hard to match. I wish i could see and hear more of it

@andrewfielden284 5 лет назад

It is a wonderful sound. Wonder how hard it is to play properly. Sounds awesome with Ben playing, but he's a top class professional musician.

@chief2632 5 лет назад

@@andrewfielden284Your skill on one trombone will transfer easily to the other. The major obstacle is building the proper air support, a bass or a contra will knock the wind out of you. It also takes some time to be able to produce clarity in the lower register, and also get used to the weight

@andrewfielden284 5 лет назад

@@chief2632 Agreed. I transferred from tenor to bass. The breathing for me is the main thing to get used to. I'm having to accept that you can't play the same kind of phrasing on bass, the low register just takes more air.

@chief2632 5 лет назад

@@andrewfielden284 Oh yeah it can be easy to sound sloppy below the E below the staff, just takes some adjusting. they're both amazing horns, you can almost feel the rumble when you hear it in person

When Ben van Dijk play this trombone, it sounds like a car that really have the power to do anything.

@bobboscarato1313 6 лет назад

Mr van Dijk, I have a technical question; I have a Bach Stradivarius Bass Trombone. My question is "If I find a double slide to fit my trombone thus increasing the total length, will it operate as a contrabass trombone?; I'm aware the overall size of the bell, etc change and my Strad has a 10.5" diameter. I'll appreciate your answer.

@jacoblynch4677 4 года назад

Where can I get a Thein Contrabass Trombone b/c I've been playing a 56 year old trombone my dad had and I've played it from 5th grade - 12th grade. I've played 3rd trombone parts ever since freshman year and I never could hit many higher notes above the higher G, but I was pretty darn good with the lower notes though, I feel like a contrabass trombone can help me hit the lower notes I that I can't hit on my king Cleveland.

@AttackTurkey1 12 лет назад

Ive played a Getzen and Edwards Bass Trombones and now own the Getzen 3062AF Custom Series Bass; it plays as well as the Edwards I have tried, uses the same parts, has some (if not all, but they wont tell you) interchangeability with Edwards parts, but costs less and has fewer options to begin with. Besides the name on the horn, these instruments are essentially the same.
