Fun fact: the song played With a trombone mouthpiece in an alto sax is frequently used for movies and tv shows in Arabic settings. But it isn’t Arabic. It was written for the worlds fair in Chicago in 1893. They had a belly dancer exhibit but had problems hiring actual musicians to accompany them. They were able to get the correct instruments though, so one of the musicians they did have there wrote that song just for the fair. Because it wasn’t a real song, it was free from copyright, making it really easy and free to use in movies so it stuck
The song's origins begin some time before the World's Fair of 1893. However, even then, the song's origins are still unknown aside from their two famous appearances. In 1845, a German musician named Franz Hüten likely drew inspiration from a French musician names Christophe Ballard. Ballard wrote and published a piece titled, "Colin Prend Sa Hotte" in 1719. Both Ballard and Hüten's pieces shared the same first five notes at its start. At the 1893 Chicago World's Fair, artist James Thornton debuted his own rendition with the same beginning notes. This piece was named, "The Streets of Cairo; or, The Poor Little Country Maid," and it shared those same beginning notes which all of these pieces share. The song they owe inspiration to is a lost Algerian song from the 17th Century called, "Kradoudja." So, in truth, while it may not be Egyptian, it is still hailing from Algerian roots. Both are African nations, so it only makes sense that they would share similar, yet still very distinct, musical identities. The wonders of music transcending their cultural bounds are usually quite beautiful. (James Hüten lived in the 19th Century, Christophe Ballard lived in the 18th Century, and the lost song is from the 17th.)

I've done this, it's pretty cool. You need to have the trumpet mouthpiece in the trumpet, then jam the oboe reed into the trumpet mouthpiece. If you can get the seal, you can play some serious Maynard Ferguson stuff this way
@@Reaktron88 french horn is a good example of that. You can play notes out of the harmonic series with the same valves pushed down. Mind blowing. Be sure to subscribe!
@@ludwiglanestudios Yeah thats why it's hard because you need to adjust your embouchure, to increase by a semitone, rather than using the valves. You can actually do that on any brass instrument, but french horn is designed around that.
I put my alto sax mouthpiece on my trombone. It made the coolest sound ever, I called it the trumbaphone. One of the guys in my band put his Bari sax mouthpiece on a tuba, it sounded even cooler. Definitely the most interesting sound I’ve heard in band
Alright look, I will not stand for this Saxopet (alternative name being Strumpet or Trumphone) slander. I did the same thing in high school with my friend who played sax. I played the mouthpiece while they worked the fingerings. Gotta say, It honestly sounded pretty good and I feel like it'd be a good fit for Jazz music (which may sound obvious, but it sounds like it fits better than just straight sax or trumpet imo. It sounds weird since both are jazz instruments, but I feel the same about sax mouthpiece + trumpet.) And yes. I know what Strumpet means.
You can actually play a clarinet without the mouth piece and the barrel that attaches it to the clarinet. You just put your mouth on it the same way you would with a trumpet.
Try putting an alto mouth piece on but with tape around the end of the trumpet so it is tight against the mouthpiece it makes it sound like a baritone sax! Crazy
Fun fact pending on what model trumpet you have if you use a woodwind mouthpiece on it it will sound different. I only know this because I have to the exact same brand trumpets just different models one works clarinet mouthpiece the other one doesn't
Can you tell me if there is any difference between a 5b and a 4c mouthpiece for clarinet because my sister has a two clarinet and it has a bad mouthpiece and I want to get a new mouthpiece for but I don’t know if there is a difference
