Greetings David and thanks for your nice feedback! I'm so happy you found the video helpful.

@ajajajajajajajajajaj 2 года назад

Thank you for sharing all of this. It's so fascinating how all of the horns sound so different. I've played a ton of them myself, and I'm still hearing so many new sounds from different setups. It's so crazy how personalized a sound can be. From my headphones, which are just basic Sony over the ears that you get from Target for $10-20, I think the James Morrison sounded the most like I would want to sound, which is just a little more fullness and zip than my Bach 43. Really amazing video. Thank you again!

@solutions2exist556 3 года назад

4:23 and 12:05 were the best to my ears. Effortless and clean in high and low registers with fuller dark bodied sounds. The first Bach out of the two in the late middle was third. You have a good feel for the horn too. As of 13-years ago, I can no longer play due to a facial paralysis thing; but my ears tell me you are an excellent trumpet player with feeling. Thanks for this video as I would have never had the opportunity to hear so many trumpets.

Very interesting videos and you are a very fine player. I enjoyed the two videos perhaps especially because I much preferred your sound on some of the other trumpets to the one you eventually chose. Very nice that your wife supports you in your quest and makes some very valuable contribution by some incisive comments to the process of trying them all out.

I really loved the A2 at the NAMM show and couldn't put it down.! I could play in church, Big Band lead , section, brass ensemble work.

@JMLRecording Год назад

Great video Joe! You definitely chose the right trumpet. I also loved the warmth of the Shilke’s. Reminded me of a Christmas Broadway show like the nutcracker or something hahaha

@JoeBabiak Год назад

Thanks buddy. The A4 was a good horn, really liked the sound, but the playability was tough. Sooo happy with the new horn, as you know 😉

@SwingWestBand 4 года назад

Great choice! You got there. - and the A4 has a fabulous sound.

@JoeBabiak 4 года назад

Thank you! Yea, I love the sound. Exactly what I was going for!

@JohnMichaelTrumpet 3 года назад

Joe thank you for sharing this journey with us. I was in Rotterdam last October, I didn’t know Adams was right there 1.5 hrs away!! Dang it! Anyway, I’ve tried Adams trumpets before and really liked them. I can see why you went with them for a darker sound and with Shepherd’s crook and lacquered bell...great choice. I also really liked the way you sounded on the Schilke S42, S32HD and S22HD!

@JoeBabiak 3 года назад

Greetings Johnny and thanks for your nice message! I'm glad you enjoyed the video! Yea, Schilke's are very clean sounding, surprisingly dark, and very consistent from low to high range. But for me, Adams was the the way to go. Especially the A4 with there shepherd's crook. But the materials and sizes also made a noticeable difference. And finding the right combination of everything took some time, but it was well worth the wait! Next time you're over here, definitely stop by Adams. It's an amazing facility with an awesome staff! All the best! - JB

@kmb1 3 года назад

Right on. Great choice. I have one of the first Adams A4 shepherd's crooks and it is just as awesome now as it was 10 years ago when I bought it. I've never played another horn I like more.

@JoeBabiak 3 года назад

Agreed! Best horn I’ve ever had. Love the sound and how free-blowing it is! Cheers!

@JRSIM-1 3 года назад

I'm glad you like what you chose. Not my preference, but main thing is you're happy. It is a very beautiful customized trumpet.👍

@JoeBabiak 3 года назад

Happy indeed! Thanks. And next time, I’ll be sure to order something you prefer 🤪

The Adams Hybrid has that old smokey jazz club sound. Wow

@JoeBabiak 10 месяцев назад

The hybrid was a nice horn, but not quite what I was looking for at that time.

@ChrisDavisTrumpet 4 года назад

Listen to your wife! 😃 That hybrid horn sounded great in you!

@JoeBabiak 4 года назад

Thanks man. The hybrid had a nice sound, but at the end of the day, my custom A4 was exactly the sound I was going for. Cheers! / PS - Sweet home Chicago ;-)

@takingbus11 4 года назад

Wow, this search took some patience. I think my faves were the A7 and Coppernicus. Thanks for sharing your research.

@JoeBabiak 4 года назад

It was quite a lengthy process, but well worth it. Happy you enjoyed the video! All the best :-)

@colinmilch1523 Год назад

The Adams Hybrid, Coppernicus, and the Bach Artisan trumpets had the cleanest sounds in my opinion

@KazumaTee 3 года назад

Thanks. This video was very helpful. I feel A4 with 45 A2 bell sounds best.

@JoeBabiak 3 года назад

You're welcome. Glad you found it helpful. The Hybrid A4 was a nice horn, definitely a step in the right direction, but alas, not as dark as I wanted. Cheers.

@antonyvinke6721 4 года назад

Dear Joe, I did like to watch your video about the search to a new Trumpet. I can see you have tried a lot of trumpets. The Adams A4 is a very nice trumpet with a warm and dark sound. I think for jazz music this trumpet is very good, I hope you have a lot of fun and succes! I bought a few years ago the Adams A4 LT, and I never regret it. The A4 plays LT plays very nice and has a warm and dark sound too. Adams Music is a great company and very helpful. Greetings

@JoeBabiak 4 года назад

Greetings - Thanks for checking out the video. Both the Adams A4 & A4-LT are fine horns. Warm & Dark = exactly what I was going for. Adams is indeed a wonderful company consisting of wonderful people! All the best :-)

@balcomoz 4 года назад

Difference is only for player. I got 4 completely different horns. Recorded myself on same microphone setup, same room, same mouthpiece. Listened to it and all sounded same. When I've played them I heard diffence and had of course different feel of blowing, valve response. As I've said, on tape they all sounded same. That's why Clark Terry, Wynton, Randy, Lee, Miles, Maynard... you name them, they sound like themselves. Doesn't matter what horn. Like shoes. Some are more comfy than others. But we still need to walk. Thanks for video.

@JoeBabiak 4 года назад

I hear a noticeable difference (on this video) between many of the horns I tested. If you don't (as well as with your personal recordings), that's okay. That's the thing when it comes to personal opinions; there is no right or wrong. To each their own.

@richard_zeller 2 года назад

That A4 was the clear winner to my ears. Now I'm more sold than ever on adams

@JoeBabiak 2 года назад

Greetings. At the time, the Adams was the winner. But since, it doesn’t even compare to my new horn (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-zG4XrM8PqOg.html). Check out klangwerkstatt-boehme.de/en/!

@JoeBabiak 4 года назад

@fleurafricaine5740 10 месяцев назад

Hi Joe, I listened only to 5-minutes. I’m sensing you really wanted one of the Schilke’s to work for you. It sounded like the sound & resonance of the Schilke’s you played was trapped inside the instrument. The most open, warm and projected sound I heard you produce was from the Kühnl & Hoyer (which you only played for 3-seconds at 2:55!)

@JoeBabiak 9 месяцев назад

Greetings! Initially, I liked the Schilke’s; they seemed to be very responsive horns and very even sounding from low to high. But the more horns I tested, the more the Schilkes fell into the background. I released a second comparison video in which I found my current horn (which blows all the others out of the water!). Check it out here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-zG4XrM8PqOg.html

@blainekelley816 4 года назад

Enjoyed your ‘trumpet safari’! Sounded most comfy on Schilke S22HD + B7, Schagerl JM1 + Gansch Horn, ACB Coppernicus and and Adams A4. I am thankful to have a custom A4 LT-S (with Shepherds Crook), Red Brass bell in ML bore and think it is the best ‘fit’ for me out of all the horns I’ve ever played. I also has an A4 SC in L bore that I though was fantastic, but ultimately enjoyed the blow on the ML more. Stunning what Adams has done in the short time they have made trumpets. They are just fantastic! Enjoy every note!!

@JoeBabiak 4 года назад

Hey Blaine, thanks for the message. I've written you before and appreciate the useful info you've shared in regards to your A4 LT. It took some time to research the right combination of features, but I can say without any doubt that this is the horn for me, and Adams made that possible. Cheers!

@blainekelley816 4 года назад

JOE BABIAK didn’t realize you were the same Joe and ‘Joe and Linda’! Glad you weren’t with .50 thickness and the SC. Just subscribed and look forward to checking out your posts!

@tedjohnson9329 3 года назад

This was a fun and educational video. Joe's choice of the Adams A4 would have been my choice, as well, if I were in the market. I also liked the Schilke B7. My choice of mouth piece is a Bach 1D Megatone. I play a Bach LR180S37 and the Adams sounds a lot like my Bach, or, the other way around, if you prefer. In any case its was good to see so many models played.

@JoeBabiak 3 года назад

@derrinkerr7335 6 месяцев назад

Hey Joe. Great video (and the second one too)…thanks. Can you recall your thoughts on the Kuhnl & Hoyer? Your demo sounded very centred and even across the range.

@JoeBabiak 5 месяцев назад

Greetings & thanks for writing. If I remember correctly (it’s been a while) the K&H horn played well & had a bit of a darker sound, which I like. However, I didn’t play that model for long nor did I try other from the company…so something must not have grabbed me. That being said, I don’t recall anything negative about it either.

@ericmpena 2 года назад

Wish there was a little more of you playing the Red Brass with Shepherds Crook. Did you just not like it right away? How much of a difference would you say the red brass makes versus the gold brass?

@JoeBabiak 2 года назад

The red brass shepherds crook was the 2nd custom A4 they made me. Nice looking horn for sure, but the sound was too thin, bright, and scratchy/raspy sounding for my taste. It was pretty much the opposite of what I was going for. The gold brass however, was much more to my liking with a rounder and smoother sound. Plus, I find a noticeable difference when the inside of the bell is polished (which the red brass' bell was not). To my ears, the polished inner bell gives a nice glassy/buttery sound that I really like (as can be heard on my final A4). Thanks - JB

@robgrune3284 4 года назад

from a retired pro... I don't own an Adams, but I have played one. Adams makes great horns to suit everyone. I prefer the sound and feel of the A3, but I have yet to try the new 'balanced' model. Across brands, the differences in sound is very small. So to reach a decision, I would weigh many factors.

@JoeBabiak 4 года назад

Hello Rob; it's always best to go and actually test horns in person. Depending on the size, weight, materials, etc, I found the sound differences between brands/models to be quite vast. I mean, a trumpet sounds like a trumpet (as opposed to an oboe). However, the nuances and sonic characteristics between trumpets can vary greatly (in my opinion/experience).

@MatthiasBertsch 3 года назад

So much depending on the room .. and much more ... most important what you feel ...

@JoeBabiak 3 года назад

Definitely important that a horn feels good to you, in addition to sounding good.

@EdmundTrujillo 4 года назад

I was considering the Lotus trumpet and see you also tried 2 different Lotus models. Can you comment on the difference between the Lotus and A4?

@JoeBabiak 4 года назад

To me, the Adams A4 was more free-blowing, warmer, and darker, which was exactly what I was looking for. Between the 2 Lotus models I tried, I did not hear/feel much of a difference. The A4 immediately spoke to me and I couldn't be happier!

@jkimsc Год назад

Wondering what your thoughts were on the A9? Beyond comparing it to the Martin Committee, how it compared to the others? Seemed like you passed on it pretty quickly.

@JoeBabiak Год назад

Greetings. It’s been a while...but I recall thinking that the A9 had a nice sound. It was one of the models that stood out to me early on after testing their whole selection. I don’t think it was a free-blowing horn...felt more resistance, but had a unique sound.

@gilestrumpet3817 2 года назад

Wow ! Great tour thru Trumpets, but you make YOUR sound on all of them, which is nice to listen to nonetheless. Have you ever played Smith Watkins or Eclipse trumpets ??

Because of this video I purchased an adams a4! ML bore .45 bell thickness. Now that you’ve had the horn for awhile, how do you like it? Is it very versatile?

@JoeBabiak 4 года назад

Oh wow! That's great! Congrats! I've had the horn almost a year now and I love it more and more every day! Honestly! It does absolutely seem to be versatile (at least for my applications). Dark and warm, but brightens up nicely in the higher register with louder dynamics. Enjoy YOUR A4!

@trebledmusician 4 года назад

Btw: Do you have the sheet music of that solo you played on the A4 LT? It sounds nice. Otherwise I might just transcribe it if it‘s okay with you.

@JoeBabiak 4 года назад

Agreed! My custom A4 is SO warm and dark sounding. What specs will you order for your A4 LT?

@trebledmusician 4 года назад

JOE BABIAK I don‘t know, yet. I know that I‘m going for an A4-LT. The problem is that I am still a student and have to go to school. So my possibilities of going to try out some different options are really limited. I will go to Leipzig next week as there is the closest dealer. Hopefully he can give me some advice. Then I‘ll be knowing more about the options I want to have.

@stlcop8082 Год назад

To my ear, the horn you ended up going with had somewhat of a cornet character if that makes sense, which I like. I also really liked the dark sound of the A7, though you didn't spend much time on it, and the A9 sounded a little brighter that I expected, but I liked that as well as the various A10's.

@JoeBabiak Год назад

Yea, my ear prefers a darker tone, which works well for me since I do more solo work rather than playing within a section. Cheers!

This is an amazing video! So, now knowing Adams is customizable for hand size, my focus is shifting. I was interested in the Shires Destino lll, but I'm not certain the custom fit. Other than the one horn that was challenging to hit (low notes) how was the playability of all the instruments? Was everything nuanced? Or were there some that stood out significantly?

@JoeBabiak 2 года назад

Hello Marc, I'm glad you enjoyed the video! When you ask about the playability of "all the instruments"...do you mean the Adams models in particular?

@@JoeBabiak I meant all of them. I know that's a lot! I know the Bachs have their own reputation, and I have an interest in the Shires (was that a Destino lll you were playing), and the Monnette is super pricey. My trumpet teacher played a Shilcke. So when I ask if the variations were nuanced, and all were amazing playing wise, or if there were some that stood out (obviously your Adams did 😁) via ease of playing. I hope that makes sense!

What didn't you like about the Adams A4LT? Was there a big difference in sound and blow between the A4LT and the horn you bought? Or even the straight A4.

@JoeBabiak 2 года назад

Hello Jim...it's not that I didn't like things about the A4LT, it's just that I preferred the character of the A4 more so. The A4LT had a very nice dark sound with a solid core. To my ear, it was more directional of a sound. The A4 (particularly my custom A4) had a wider spread of sound. The L-bore A4 was hands down the most free-blowing horn I have experienced (more than the A4LT), but then again, that's exactly what I prefer. As for sound, I found that the polished inner-bell of my horn really gave my tone the smooth/buttery quality I wanted, more so than any of the stock A4s or A4LTs. Hope this helps - JB

@jimnolan3354 2 года назад

@@JoeBabiak Joe, I have a A4LT on trial right now and I do like the blow and slots on this horn. But it sounds a little bright for my ears. I did try the A4 at ITG in 2019 and liked the sound but not the weight of the horn. I also like the idea of a shepherds crook so the feedback is closer to my ears.

@JoeBabiak 2 года назад

@jim nolan - Hey Jim, I wonder if the A4LT you're testing has a yellow brass bell? That could explain the brightness. In my case, Adams was kind enough to build a few custom horns for me (with no obligation to purchase) so I could really test the different size & material combinations. This was crucial; to A/B the differences in sound (process of elimination). I would suggest playing/ordering a lacquered, .50 gauge, gold brass bell (polished inside), with a shepherds crook. Perhaps even with the larger 5.5 inch bell. In my opinion, that should darken up the sound nicely.

@jimnolan3354 2 года назад

@@JoeBabiak Joe, the horn I have is a yellow brass bell. I'm not close to any shop that sells Adams so any trial is through the mail. They do have a straight A4 with the gold brass bell in stock. They also said that they have a A4 Shepherds crook coming in.

In general, the Adams horns have a "darker" quality, and I was actually surprised how "dark sounding" the Schilke horns are, considering they're silver.
