Bucket List: Double Bell Euphonium with 5 Valves 

I still have a screenshot of that

Remember what he said? “Never happened”

This thing is made out of actual metal. It can survive a fall and be easily fixed.

@@drzoidberg71 wow ur so smart

Jacob Casas dude i’ve been waiting so long for this review 💀

Honestly pretty epic

We STILL haven't seen "French horn, part 2" yet.

Pizza time

Even the Electro Who-Cardio Flooks?

What makes you believe half these instruments aren't themselves drug-addled ideas? Or at least lead-solder-fume-high-addled ideas?

Did you know Dr. Seuss was a wife beater?

Quintuple slide, double bell, quadruple valve, piccolo euphonium

Duuuuuuuuuude, that sounds stupidly crazy. But I guess I play woodwinds so who knows.

Yes, there’s a separate tuning slide

@@TrentHamilton Hmm, quarter tone time?

@@selbatsfam02 YEES

Stroh ukulele time?

Romanian Stroh Uke

Was Buescher there too? I know that I've inquired with Anderson Silver in Elkhart about getting a 1890's cornet mouthpiece re-silvered so I'm not putting a chunk of lead to my face.

Energy is not free you know, you'll only get out of it what you can give it.

Yes but the bell would be pointed towards the audience so it would be louder for them

Its not louder its just pointed at the mic

@@Metal-Possum it's the over unity bell. 😉

The flare and diameter of the alternate bell is different. We actually have 2 double bell Euphoniumists in my local community band. They say the alternate bell gives a tone more like a trombone. It's sort of like the difference between a trumpet and a cornet. Direction has very little to do with it. It's probably pointed forward simply for packaging - where else would the alternate bell go?

All good, I get it a lot

it is called "Funiculi Funicula"

I saw a double belled sousaphone one year it was really cool

Tubamas in Baltimore?

Yes, I tried to ensure everything was framed correctly, but obviously failed in some parts.

That’s because a “double bell euphonium” is actually a euphonium and baritone combined

@@legoshaakti No, it's a Euphonium with a second smaller bell.

@@AndyMarsh I'd argue that the 'smaller bell' is meant to emulate a trombone/baritone.

It's two, two instruments in one! 😆 I guess only old people in the US will get that joke. 👍

@@SamuelPlaysBrass Emulate yes, I can agree with that. But to say it's a combined Euphonium and Baritone as Zeri suggested isn't right... I believe there was a double horn that two complete sets of tubing, that could have one set of tapered tubing and the other set straight bore I suppose... That really would be a combined Euphonium and Baritone.

Sharp and kinda fuzzy. Just like a screw-bell trombone with the bell not attached, except a bit darker.

@@mal2ksc Thanks

The one problem I have with the Wessex is that it's not the same thing. It sounds good and the price is right, but what if I don't a British Euphonium? Too bad, I guess.

Remember, they only had pipe organs for "synthesis" until the 1920s came along and the Theremin and Ondes Martenot came out. Thus a lot more emphasis was placed on getting multiple sounds out of each instrument in a band.

There’s one instrument he has with a bunch of bells that he hates. It’s called a martinshorn.

Yes, the Shew horn.

The four value double valve won't have the normal "fourth" valve, which lowers the pitch from Bb to F. It'll be like a 3 value euphonium with a valve to change bell.

@@TrentHamilton Thank you, Sir, great channel with content, and you are most humorous with a lot of knowledge....

oh wait it's napoli

hey! I've been on the dolce for about 10 months. Keep in mind I am a freshman in high school, so these are all opinions coming from someone young. one question: at what level are you playing? as in, are you in high school, middle school, university, just a casual player, etc. the big difference is that the YEP-321 is non-compensating, and the Wessex Dolce is compensating. the compensating system is quite good on the dolce, and the fourth valve is far more convenient when controlled by the left hand rather than having it in line with the others and controlled with your little finger (Americans would call it a pinky). on the topic of valves, the springs can be a little stiff, so if you prefer to have more free-flowing valves, get some lower-tension springs. the valves work quite well and are cut evenly and cleanly, so no need to worry about restricted airflow. the valve caps are nice, flat, and either aesthetically pleasing or tacky, depending on how you view the Wessex logo. from my 10 or so months of playing, I've felt the intonation to be good. now, let me clarify. this horn is under $2000 US. you can't exactly expect every single note to be exactly in tune. specifically, B natural on top of the staff always seems to be flat. I've tried to use alternate fingerings, but they just end up being sharper or no different. another one is F above the staff. it's hard to notice when playing quickly, but when held, it tends to be a bit sharp. it can be quite treacherous when playing either of these notes during slow pieces. with all that said, the intonation on literally anything else is pretty amazing for one of the cheaper horns. the metal on the Wessex dolce is my only near-major gripe. it's cheap, and I say that in the kindest way possible. I love my dolce, but it dents unfortunately easily. you definitely want to be careful. if you're going to be purchasing a dolce, don't make the mistake I did; definitely go for the silver lacquer or the silver lacquer with gold accents. scratches are less noticeable, and, silver being a thicker lacquer, it won't dent as hard and make the sound much warmer. that's my two cents. if you wish to know anything more, let me know!

Not really an expert but depending on your budget John Packer also seems to be a good choice, and if you’re not looking to buy one new a Boosey And Hawked-Besson imperial can go for around 3k on eBay and are generally solid horns

GameRex I am a Junior almost senior in highschool and have been playing since 5th grade and feel that I am to the point of out playing the Yamaha in a sense

Look for "Funiculi, funicula."

@@1dsmurray thank

If you listen closely, the second bell has a distinctly different sound, more trombony than the main bell.

Pizza them from spiderman 2

Napoli

Funiculi Funicula (or variations on Napoli)

@@TrentHamilton thanks

@@DynamixWarePro thanks

I use both bells in this video and switch between them regularly. 00:19, switch to secondary bell. 00:28 back to primary. 00:37 back to secondary 00:47 primary 00:48 secondary etc....

@@TrentHamilton Terrific - Thank you for clarifying. 😊

Gold doesn’t tarnish or oxidise like this.

Even if so... a Caswell gold plating kit is about $30 and could fix the gold on about 4 horns or a dozen-plus mouthpieces. (Catch: gold really only sticks well to silver, so if there's no silver left, you'll have to replace that first. That'll be another $30, but will also cover a _lot_ of instrument replating.)

lol! I wish. Perhaps if all of my instruments were brand new name brand then maybe.
