The World's Cheapest Trombone - A Soul Destroying Mess. 

I love how they have a treble clef on the counterweight of a TROMBONE

mouth of euphomum killed me

...is my preferred lubricant, In the music world and beyond." Erm.

RU-vid knows me well. I know nothing about trombones, I got this recommended to me, liked the video for sure.

"the lubricant i prefer in and out of the music world" LMAO

Sooooo glad my old man bought me a Conn 88H when I was in high school. 44 years later I wouldn't trade it for ANY other horn. It's truly one of the greatest trombones ever made.

the 1 dislike is the guy that made the trombone

still has a better tone than any of the trombones in my school xD.

Doesn't seem like it sounds much worse than a typical student model. Certainly very viable for a beginner, and it looks like the case holds up. Very unlike the trumpet which seemed mainly fit for the pits of hell.

This guy thinks that trombone sounds bad? I have one that sounds like a big metal kazoo.

i know the perfect accessory for this... a lead tester.

The cheapest trombone is rusty and free.

This was in my recommended, and I have no idea. I know nothing about trombones or do I care about them. But I have to say I love this guy, don't understand what he's talking about, but he seems great so I subscribed, cheers trombone fella

Look up trombones made by Stagg. Significantly more expensive (my student model was $400), but comparable quality. The slide, in terms of corrosion, was actually worse. My spit turned green, because that's the colour brass corrodes as. With a light tap I completely bent the spit valve out of position. The Case was also awful in its own unique ways, with the handle coming off and all the padding actually being empty space, resulting in a massive case for no real protection. Upon getting it out of my life, rather than donating it to my local high school's music department, I donated it to the drama department. It was better served as a prop that could be bumped and pushed around without fear of damage. The music department actually *rejected* it, a free horn for a cash-strapped music program, because of its quality. As a result, I not-so-endaringly for most of its use called it the 'ghetto-bone'.

I'd like to have seen it side by side with a much better trombone.

I'm sorry . . .did he say AN case?

I'll be honest I just clicked this vid cus I saw a Trombone. I heard you play in the beginning and was like "wow this guys shit..." then later on in the vid you called out all the stuff I heard on the trombone so the fact you can hear the garbage emitting form that disgrace makes me happy. I revoke my previously incorrect statement,

i bought a trombone for 8 bucks at a flea market

Maybe you should have played a few licks on this horn and then on a "proper" trombone so the viewer could hear the difference...

I love your sense of humor, I was laughing for a good part of the video.

I'd call it a tin slide whistle that doesn't even measure up to my original trombone in it's dinged up, home done soldered together, bent slide state my mother bought new for me in 1967.

This is clearly a instrument for kids that are just starting, the gloves gave it away.

I gotta love watching TH’s back wall collection of instruments grow, in the videos following this one after December .

I am a grade 4 trombone player who has played for two years and i recently stumbled upon your channel, by far the most helpful yet. I think that the triple tonging video was very helpful so thank you for that, keep up the good work.

"Slide Mix; my favorite lubricant both in the world of music and out of it." - Trent Hamilton 2018

Swap mouthpieces with something that is usable and larger, might fix some intonation issues if the instrument and improve quality. Overall seems like it would be good for marching :) probably the only practical use though.

This guy is like the Sean Connery of the brass instrument world. I love it!

Why does this keep showing up in my recommended ! 😂

What is remarkable to me is how good you make this shabby horn sound. You'd make playing the phone book sound fantastic.

Why does it have a treble clef sticker?

I loved the visual festival part. Thanks for making my hangover go away from all the crying an laughing that occurred. You rock.

I don't regret this video being in my recommend. Good Job.

World's cheapest tuba/euphonium next?

Even though I'm not a Trombone player, your exposition of this Trombone in this video is absolutely glorious. Congratulations.

Trent's videos are always fun. This one is hilarious!

I don't even question what videos I end up in on RU-vid anymore. Good video, Trent.

NEVER TRUST AN INSTRUMENT THAT CHANGES SHAPE WHEN YOU PLAY IT...

Great display piece, wall hanger, restaurant/bar/pub decor.......

"favorite lube both in the music world and out of it"

You are good on all of the instruments I have heard you on but somewhat better on trombone and baritone. Thank you once again for the informative and entertaining videos.

I think the treble clef on the counterweight is a great touch.

It sounds very sharp and also very bright. Sort of airy or breathy even

If a plastic trombone is better than this, then you know something's wrong.

You make it sound good to my ear!

I did enjoy the review , i myself do play trombone and have had a selmer largo , king 4b, and for the last 35 years have played on a Reynolds Contempora w/ red brass bell and an Argenta solid nickel silver

Who else caught the slide-o mix joke?

Our directors 10 year old daughter joined us in pep band one day. She brought her own trombone, which was a smaller version, but also plastic and purple.

that trombone is a 10000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000% MISTAKE AND A DISGRACE TO ALL TROMBONES

Why was this recommended to me at the side of a Corvette ZR1 review? Not complaining though that's a really cool vid you got there. thumbs up :)

This completely gives me nostalgia of my first trombone

Would you say it was a rusty trombone?

it comes with tiny gloves im fuckingf crying

Thanks! I was about to by that one instead of a Bach for band class back in 2018!

I think the better thing that come out of this is the mouth piece box, it just seems more fancy then it should be

I love this "Worlds Cheapest (insert instrument name here)" series. You get to see quality manufacturing such as the "Mouth of Euphomum".

The quality lapping air tightness of the joints and slide contribute greatly to the ability to phrase well. I picked up a trombone at a pawn shop that they just wanted to get rid of. I was able to seal a leak in one of the joints, but I had no remedy for the poor tolerances in the slide. It played a little better.

I got Startone SSL-45 Bb-Tenor Trombone (case, lubricant, mouthpiece & cleaning rod included) @ Thomann.de 12 months ago for €111. I have to admit the slide needed a proper wash in a lukewarm soapy water to work smoothly, but since then it gives me nothing but pleasure. Best starter kit ever if you don't want to invest a lot of money when you are still not sure if trombone is your thing.

You are so goddamn sarcastic in every thing you say I love it

Oh hey I bought one of these once. We used it as a prop for a film. Works great as a prop! I can vouch for the fact that the slide feels like you're scraping material off, though.

I don't know much about music, but I do like this channel.

A glove and box review too? How exciting!

this is my favorite youtube channel

There is a trombone and trumpet at my school band room that are literally made entirely of plastic

I use Nivea or ponds cold cream for my slide. It's really slick and fast as well as it lasts me a couple weeks all I need to do is spray it with water when I first put it on

You have the best humor ever

Gotta love some of that euphomum.

that's the trombone my school gave me to play

I dunno why I like this channel so much I'm not even a brass player

Hmmmm... thats a nice $80 case you have there. And I see it even came with a free trombone. What a bargain!

Very cool Video. I play trumpet and trombone and its pretty fun. Also I just subbed

Greetings how do you move from different brass instruments and still able to play them without​ embouchure issues? For instance after playing the trombone my lips cannot play the trumpet. The notes just not coming out clear and almost not out.

god, it sounds as if there was a dead animal inside it, make it stop

sick video!

It seems like it's guaranteed to make the player "clam" a few notes! 🙂 You make it sound much better than any student could, yet it still seems like it would serve best as a wall decoration. (The person could brag, "and it actually can be played!") I'd like to hear a side-by-side comparison, of the same piece, between this cheapie and a really fine instrument. In fact, it would be interesting to hear a quality MID-PRICED "student" instrument, (say $400-500), compared, too! Great videos, Trent! You are obviously a virtuoso brass player.

This or the world's cheapest trumpet: which is less worse?

Does the tuning slide work? Is there a hole behind the water key? These mouthpieces were once sold on eBay -- as Dan (not Denis) Wick

I'm a Bass Clarinet player and even I can tell how bad this sounds.

as a player myself, the thing that bothers me most is that treble clef decal

Great companion video to the "world's cheapest trumpet". Thanks!

Sounds like a Bugle for some reason but it sounds pleasant to me because hear this, I remember those Brasswind Sounds in old TV Shows such as the Classic Tom & Jerry, Classic Mickey Mouse, and more. I got used to it that I started to like it.

This came up in my recommended very interesting haha.

+Trent Hamilton I have seen this video many times ... And laughed every time . What is your opinion on DEG brand instruments and the King 2280 euphonium

I used to play Boosey and Hawkes Imperial Bass Trombone. Sweet times.

Beautiful

I love that people realize what the meaning of true brass music is, I play the Trombone myself, And I have a passion for the sound of wind instruments, They mean alot to me

5:00 I love how the first image is "MADE IN CHINA" XD

because of you I found my passion playing trumpet and hopefully the euphonium now I'm the second best trumpet player in my school and I'm only in 7th garde

I have a bad trombone. The paint rubbed off even though I have only had it for 3 years. It is a tenor trombone, but it is smaller than all the other trombones. The slide is loud, and the slide lick hit against the slide every time I pulled it in because the slide lock stuck out. The metal inside the slide peels off in flakes and even though I clean it, my spit comes out silver due to the silver flakes.

If this is the same company, I have a similar model with an F trigger. It was gifted to me by a friend, and I'm getting some okay tone out of it, albeit being 7 years removed from regular trombone playing. I'm still grateful.

So its just another instrument of torture...

you play well...bravo

Thank you for providing this public service. It would prove your point even more to the un-initiated if you played those excerpts back-to-back with a quality instrument.

the slideshow sold me

The Spike Jones tv show in the 50s a guy played the trombone while taking it apart. When he finished his song he was just playing the mouthpiece. It should be on RU-vid somewhere.🧓

not a trumpet person at all, never played one, and it sounds just fine to me.

An case

Maybe they put Grease in the slides that's why there are black oils in its slides,the grease is very dangerous for the Trombone's slides and even on its players..

That mouthpiece box is the same box as my tuba mouth piece... Best mouthpiece I have ever owned

I guess I need to listen to a comparison video or something, because as someone who was first chair in an high school orchestra who won state in the 90s, while using an $80 trombone, this sounds fine, aside from being a little out of tune (solved with the tuning slide).

wow i have never listened to his intro before with headphones holy crap the stereo
