I think Trombones are underrated. They deserve more respect. Since the Trombones have a slide, it's actually easier or even harder for us to play. - A Trombonist
@@alanartz I guess our school and many others followed the traditional place for trombones in a marching band. There's a song, "76 trombones led the big parade" from the old musical called 'The Music Man'. Check it out!
WOW! I played and practices Trombone Elementary school all the way through all 4 years of Marching Band in Highschool. Im now 21 and I've never seen how it's made. Thanks for the video! Trombone is an awesome instrument!!!! I LOVE IT!
I remember seeing this episode and the trumpet episode when I was 9 and it giving a shit. Now I play both instruments and I'm captivated by this assembly
At the end that was a really smooth sound, I've played trombone for two years now on an Andreas Eastman trombone and I love it,I've never played on a shire but hope to in the future
I can't believe you'd say that. With a good player and the right music, these "noisy" intruments would have a great chance at making you tear up and cry.
That's also why Yamaha makes Xeno trumpets which are some of the best quality professional trumpets you can buy, and that Yamaha instruments have been involved in DCI almost since its founding.
In total a brass trombone has 9 feet of tubing. Straightened that's enough to reach from the floor to the ceiling. "But of course,trombone makers are more interested in musical highs and lows". I liked this part. :D
I'm a Trombone player and I'm surprised that they didn't add how to make a trombone mouth piece, because it's pretty much the 2nd most important piece next to the slide!
I've played trombone for 7 years now, and have gone through many different horns. I took a trip to the Edwards factory this summer and tried out a bunch of horns and got fitted for a T-350, but then I got to try the new Alessi T369-A, and I fell in love with it. I ordered one, and am awaiting it's arrival, but let's just say, Edward's "worth the wait" policy is really setting in after 3 months of waiting. Oh well, the price of quality I guess.
I played trombone for four years in school.Ah,but those WERE the days!!Lots of fun in the marching band,and it was very competitive trying to get to first chair and stay there.i'm 64 now and haven't played since then,but I could still pick one up and play the C scale. 31431313!!Yeah,baby!Good times!(And I never realized how complicated they are to make.)
I was watching the Trumpet...then the French horn last night then I woke up here........and this is why I'm a trombone player French horns always tire me out.
I like how, at the very beginning, the slide is on the wrong side of the trombone. It clearly should be on the right side, because of the way the valve is positioned.
I play trombone and I'm neither awkward or nerdy. I love playing and I'm good at it. Get to know enough trombonists at university and professional level you'll realise that we're exactly the same as any other musicians.
Shires are the best....Im a senior music ed Major at UT....my shires tenor goes for about 4500...edwards are usually about 3700-4200...Joe Alessi's Edwards Model is 4,750..Bass Trombones are usually about 2,000 more across both companies. If you were wondering...Getzen is the equate version of Edwards...and (Steve) Shires was the best trombone bell maker that Edwards had, and ended up creating his own company, which MOST who play Shires after Edwards say is better. Any questions? Message Me
its callled an f attachment which takes the trombone to 7th position from first and does lots of other notes with the push of a trigger. you're welcome.
lol good to know how they make my trombone (well this one is not really my brand but similar to how they do mine im sure) cant wait to play it for the next 2 years of marching band
to TheMovieCreator: If your figures are from your local currency, 10,000 Norwegian Kroner equal about 1,400 US Dollars at this point (just shy of 7 Kroner to 1 Dollar). It was probably not much different 4 months ago. You have to remember that this is an American program so they use US prices. Exchange rates are important to note.
I see the bell size, has to be a bass trombone, see 3 layers of tubing, gotta be a bass trombone, see 2 valves, bass trombone, hear the 2 guys not playing pedals... depression
what is that tool called that roles the bell flare to make that parabolic shape? Does anybody know because i want to buy that for my lathe to use. How am i going to buy something when i don't know the name of the tool, Im just saying. Im trying to make my life easier, Thanks
Depends on what kind of trombone you are trying to get. Student straight horns run about $400-$600. Advanced trombone (one valve normally) run about $1200-$2000. Professional single valve trombones run about $2000-$2500. Professional Bass trombones (what they are playing on at the end of this video) run about $2500-$5000. Take it from me, I'm a music major...bass trombone!

Those SHIRE tenor trombones and their axial flow F attachments have caused me some repair issues. My trombonist a thought they would like them but no. The bass trombone, however, is a BEAST!!
I'm amazed at how many man hours it takes to produce just one horn. Then consider how relatively cheap they are to purchase. I was in a music store yesterday and noticed a student line 'bone on sale for a mere $800.00. To me, that's relatively inexpensive considering the workmanship that went into that single horn! I play a King 2b of 1953 vintage. It has been relaquered once and looks as good as new; of course it is of professional quality. New ones are in the $2,500-3,000 range.
"He then pushes the balls through the U-tube." Nice line :) I've always wanted a Shires Bass, my local store doesnt carry any, so I havent't got a chance to test one.
