Piccolo Trombone vs. Soprano Trombone vs. Tenor Trombone 

@@mjkiii9603 lol but why

9999999999 iq

That's what it is.

Because it does

Yes

Planet Mateo both the instruments also have almost identical bell sizes

Planet Mateo I’m pretty sure some people also call it slide trumpet, i might be wrong but that’s something I’ve heard.

Such a precious cute baby !!!!

However, it would be funny to see someone playing it, because it looks so much like a toy.

Bro same

Wow! Thank you

Blahahaha thx boi

I bet the neighborhood dogs wouldn't.

Perhaps, but the *only* Piccolo Trombones I can find are Chinese. The idea is probably for it to be a collectors item over an instrument. Considering how rare the soprano trombone is, I don't think any one was clamoring for a piccolo version.

TheBerkeleyGang well also it takes more ability of the player. Those types of high instruments' tones can really change depending on the player. Higher trombones can be quite useful in like say a trombone choir

HAHAHA

Yeah I believe there's only so much tubing on a piccolo one to use in the slide, since the typical trombone-shaped bell needs a bunch of that tubing already. Take tubing away from the bell area for a longer slide, and the bell will be virtually "pulled back" towards the rear bend of the instrument where a counterweight (for like tenors, etc.) would be. It would look weird and probably affect various things. So in order for the baby trombone here to have a somewhat normal looking bell it's forced to have that limited tubing available for the slide... by what I can tell. But tbh a trigger sounds like a pretty nice idea :) I think if the trigger allowed players to not need to go towards that last position often, that'll definitely help reduce the chances of popping the slide off with that one position's buffer. Avoids that problem like where a tenor trombone somehow needs to do a low E♭ w/o triggers (hopefully not), and it's sorta like the fact the tenor kinda *does* have that "8th" position when it's really just the slide about to fall off trying to play a low E♭ XD (no I'm no trombone expert but that's my thoughts lol)

No but the way he blankly stares off into the distance while playing it makes it so funny

Rylin Shepherd The Soprano uses the same positions (1st-7th), it’s just going to sound like a trumpet. The piccolo has the same positions, it just doesn’t have a 6th or 7th position.

Alto Saxophonist Erik Karl That is played in Eb and in bass clef. The soprano and piccolo trombones are in treble clef

Well... Your not alone.

Cal Apigo yes, if you're thinking in bass clef.

ok cool thanks

+Trent Hamilton is it something you have to learn. Because trumpet mouthpieces are way smaller than my Bach mouthpiece. It's like a trumpet right?

+Tyler Ronto for me as a trumpet player it is probably easier to play soprano/picolo trombone than for acctual trombone players

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

No, the tenor trombone is in Bb. When playing in Bass clef, it plays in concert pitch, but that doesn't make it a 'C' instrument.

Trent Hamilton can you do alto trombone

chris christophe​ I talk about it briefly in this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-FrmwcxE_o9o.html but I can do a separate video if you wish to see one :)

+Trent Hamilton if you play a Bb on a tenor trombone it is not a concert C therefor, the tenor trombone is a C instrument not a Bb instrument.

The tenor trombone plays in concert pitch when reading bass clef. The fundamental note of the instrument, however, is Bb. If the trombone was pitched in C, then the fundamental would clash with a Bb trumpet's fundamental - as it doesn't, then it proves that both instruments are in Bb. To be honest, I'm not sure if you are trolling. Because I've never encountered anyone previously who claimed that all tenor trombones are in C.

Contrabass is the way to go for low

It shouldn't be... ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-FrmwcxE_o9o.html

NobodyNowhereKnowhow No - I delve into this more deeply in this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-FrmwcxE_o9o.html

Yes

Willem Kossen I play the tenor

Depends on how large it is. His trombone was a tenor with an F attachment. The other version of a tenor trombone is a straight tenor (meaning it doesn’t have the F attachment). The only difference between the two is that the straight horn isn’t fully chromatic between the pedal tone Bb and the Bb on the staff. They both have (roughly) the same range and are pitched in Bb. If your instrument is pitched in Bb, it is a tenor. If it is pitched in Eb, then it is an alto.

If you play a Bb in first position it’s a tenor

TheJediMonkey oh my music teacher said you can't mix mouth peices

The harmonic series of this trombone is two octaves higher than the harmonic series of a Tenor or Bass trombone, that's probably the best way to explain it.

That's basically what I was meaning at the end. So thank you!

This video was just showing Bb trombones, the alto is in Eb, and fits between the soprano and tenor. I don't believe in the 'tenor-bass' trombone, because all tenor trombones and all modern bass trombones are in the same key - Bb. The only differences are in the bore size, and whether there are triggers or not. The worlds largest bore double trigger bass trombone with all the fittings still has the same fundamental pitch and amount of tubing as the smallest bore pea-shooter tenor trombone. The tenor-bass designation is a bit erroneous to me - a trombone is either one or the other.

thanks, that really answers my question. I am just about to go play my "what was previously thought tenor-bass", tenor trombone with fkey in my jazz concert tonight. thanks again

Ah,if all endearing young charms

lumbar harpy462 nah, smaller bore and smaller bell so it's a tenor

FusionTech Gaming Thank you, I play the saxophone but I am looking at others to further expand my knowledge of instruments to help my fellow band mates. I happen to be the most advanced person in my band and I am often a source of advice.

Ah so you're one of those

+Chris Harrison You can get trombones which are actually in the key of C, but they're very uncommon.

+The Redstone Regime Here in germany i think all trombones are in the key of C. At least I and all trombonists I know play them. (Bass key)

+FloStar3000 In Germany the trombone itself is tuned Bb, but the trombonists learn to play the notes written in C. So, if they read a Bb, they play the base-tone (1st Position), which is a Bb, while if they had a transposed Score in Bb, they would read C and have to play the base-tone, which sounds Bb

I think you are right. I'm not really sure, but I think only british brass bands have transposed scores for the bass instruments

The Redstone Regime o hellllllll​ nah

That is most definitely a tenor trombone. Smaller bore, 8.5" bell. Bass trombones have larger bores, and generally have a bell size over 9.5" in diametre

Sometimes called a "Symphonic Tenor." Comparable models: Conn 88H, Bach 42B, King 4B-F, etc. Typically a larger bore than a straight tenor. Bass Trombone will have larger bore, and usually 2 valve sections in the bell area.

No, the number of triggers doesn't define a bass trombone. It's the bore and bell size. You can get a trombone with no triggers and have a 9.5" bell that is still a legitimate bass trombone.

Without a trigger, it has to be pitched in F or Eb, and be proportionally bigger. Otherwise, you don't get the notes between E (below the staff) and BBb, critical for Bass Trombone music. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Types_of_trombone#Bass_trombone

***** Bass trombones in Bb without triggers don't have much point these days, but they do exist. The difference between a tenor trombone and a bass trombone is the bore size, and the bell size. Nothing else. Both tenor and bass trombones can have triggers (although I've never seen a tenor trombone with two triggers), and both tenor and bass trombones can be straight.
