"The other elephant in the room besides myself"

Glad to see Trent getting a sponsorship.

“The other elephant in the room, other than myself” You have great humor, love it

"United States of AmericaLand"

Pretty sure Glenn Miller famously had one of these for performances. It’s on display at the University of Colorado Boulder

trent’s playing abilities with just about every brass instrument astonishes me every time

Self deprecating humor is classic! Learning and humour are fast friends. Thanks.

Another great show, Mr Hamilton!! I sip coffee from the shows mug I bought off his web site... sip and learn! Everyone, keep donating to his show!!

I love the humour here, as always. So we have this spare length of copper pipe left over from fitting these domestic radiators. We could use that to replace the trNO WAIT, a better idea, let's replace the most complex, temperamental and fiddly bit instead, the slide. Whyever not? In other news, as a former tenor trombone player of negligible talent and rapidly advancing years, it is abundantly clear to me that I need one of these yesterday, earlier if possible.

That trombone remides me of the Superbone by Schagerl which is designed by James Morrison. It's a trombone that haves three valves AND a slide so you can choose if you rather play with the slide or with the valves. You should take a look at that intresting piece of brass!

There was a very rare trombone that was sold only for a year that I know of in the 1960s. It was called the contrasoprano bass trombone. It had 3 triggers one being on the double slide The triggers were in line

TRENT! Congratulations on the sponsorship, you've made it. Keep it up.

Boosey & Hawkes. Wow, that takes me back a few years. My first trumpet was a second hand Boosey & Hawkes, and possibly around 1975 (ish), our music class went on a day trip to the factory, back in the day when they were still making instruments. Fond memories!

Also glad to hear about the sponsorship. Nice advertisement, excellent sense of humor.

Could you remove the trill valve slide and replace it with one that drops you a fourth?

I’ve seen this trombone and I’m looking to buy one.

I've played a pupil's trombone with a whole tone valve, which immitates the Bb to C step of a f attachment. AND the second trombonist of the Munich Philharmonic plays a Trombone with a piston f-attachment

ah, yes. a trombone for some neighbouring tones

You know you are getting some where in the RU-vid ecosystem when you get sponsored by skill share

So it's a Superbone, except you're stuck always giving it the middle finger.

If only I could play partials like Trent.

I had a French horn with a valve trigger like that

glad you're getting recognized by brands!

We need more of those

That is very interesting. I love watching your videos on brass instruments because it gives me insight on many brass instruments. Thanks for the videos!

A couple of these actually popped up for sale in some of my Facebook groups

That trombone reminds me of the superbone

For some unfathomable reason I feel as if I have just crawled across the Unending Desert of Dry Humor and survived! Great video! Love it!

Bobby Broockmeyer plays jazz on a valve trombone

I recently came across (I come across a lot of things) a sort of trumpetty bugly horn thing from I dunno, a car or truck or suchlike .... I'm going to try making it have a receiver for a tpt mp, and will see how it goes. It may not go well! I visited my local Jewish temple and had a go on their shofars, and I can testify that you can't play bugle calls on a shofar. The partials come out wrong. I really thought it'd be about right to play "Mess Call" at the end of service to announce the bread and wine and snacks, but alas is not to be. I'm sure my trumpetty-bugly car horn thing will sound awful but sometimes that's kind of fun.

That looks extremely useful. Wonder why such innovation would have fallen out of style

I don't even play the trombone but I'm so interested in this video

Congratulations on getting a sponsorship and great video!

Please do not make to many joke about your size. Even if you feel like it is fine for you. With time too much self-mockery/deprecating leads to broken humans. Don't tell me how I know... You are a fantastic human, have some respect for your beautiful and perfectly sized self and head.

I love how sarcastic his humor is

"the other elephant in the room besides my self" HAHA Trent you're too harsh on yourself

Moving up Trent with that sponsor, keep it up!

I've finished the intro and am working on the outro. I'm sure you'll love then trent 😊

I actually saw a trombone with a F rap that has a valve on the internet

I am now contemplating the crescent-shaped blood blister I would inevitably receive from catching the slide on my pinkie finger in the way Trent described. Oooow.... : (

There is a modern company called Boosey & Hawkes. Sells sheet music these days, but it might imply that your slide is at least from the same general family.

That's perfect for a guy who just wants the occasional Eb

This can be so useful to reach Bb on the 7th position

Congratulations on the sponsorship, Trent.

Congrats on the sponsorship mate

Hey Trent, I know this is a trombone video,but I took ur advice on the Chinese amoon trumpet. It's not bad at all actually. Was wondering what u did to get the valves to be somewhat better?

HE GOT A SPONSORSHIP! IM SO HAPPY FOR YOU!

How TF can that work? The semitone size would change dependant on the slide position. Or is the range of sizes within an acceptable range? I know nothing of trombones...

Who needs to practice trills when you have this 1903 beast! 🎶

I just sold my first trombone, my first trumpet, and my favorite baritone. My wife said if I don’t play them, I don’t need them.....I may have hid another trombone and a cornet away in my office....weird she didn’t say anything about my four acoustic guitars. Haha

I just added an alto trombone and, while mine is just a straight Eb alto, I've noticed a bunch listed had rotary trill valves and the Conn with the Bb attachment was actually the odd one out despite likely being more useful, IMO. Also seen a demonstration of a superbone, which I've always heard of yet, for some reason, I've been thinking of the two playing options as an either/or scenario instead of being able to play the piston valves with your left as you work the slide with your right to blend the play styles together to get a fairly unique sound.

Most of the British tenor trombones of the era used the same size friction fit for slide and bell. I have old instruments by Boosey, Gisborn, and Hawkes that I can mix and match the slides from. I wonder if the second slide is a cut down G bass slide?

Sounds like gilere horn cadenza!

A different angle of the dangle...

Congrats on the sponsorship! Maybe now you can justify making your videos a bit longer and help the channel grow!

Appreciate your slide locks! I have a trombone without one and it’s such a bother since my hands are small, I can’t hold the slide with my pinky well.

yeah!! Get that sponsorship

Hi congratulations from ARGENTINA

Boosey and Hawkes were a musical instrument firm in England so I’d be willing to bet that that trombone slide may be from the same shop but a different era.

I swear, everytime I hear your intro in your videos, I expect the first chord to be a C# Major chord

Finally... A trombone that can trill effectively

congrats on the sponsorship

I think I'm happy enough just going down a position... 🤣🤣🤣

This somewhat reminds me of a superbone trombone

my boy getting sponsorships

Trent Hamilton reviews the superbone

My trumpet teacher had one

So the legend of the useless piston trigger is true...

Do Skill share offer a course in woodwind instrument appreciation?

Dang Trent looking fly today

1:25 he's looking at a script (bottom right)

I've seen one of these years ago. Yes, they are rare but there was some of them made around the turn of last century. I'm sure they were made by Conn.

Now we gotta make a trombet, a trumpet with a slide.

Hi Trent, when does the results of the competition come out

I wonder what it would have sounded like if he trilled and slid the slide at the same time.

Mine Deare Brudther Trent, thou haste presenteth unto us a moste informatif video. It informed me most deeply and profoundly. Were I not without a job I wuld tender onto thee a patrion donation. I thanke You mine kiwi Brudther!

I love the videos that you post, keep it up!

I’ve never seen this trombone before, but I have seen one with three valves like a trumpet.

Hello Trent I have a question. Mellophone or French horn which do you like better in general? One of my friends in the French horn section is very much a matching man and loves the mellophone while having a slight distaste for the French horn. I would like to know your opinion on the matter. Which do you personally prefer.

Omg first sponsorship good job trentttttt

David Blaine is the fucking GOAT

what if you got a second of those trill valves and added it inline with the other. i think its in high pitch how it is so it would probably put it down to modern pitch, and also you would have two trill valves, which would be impractical and not useful in any way

Having "discovered" just recently, I have watched quite a few of your videos. Very enjoyable! I really like your collection of Brass Instruments - you quite a variety of instruments. However, I haven't seen any of the "over the shoulder" Brass Instruments. These were quite common in the mid-19th Century and were used by some Military Bands (including local Guard Units) when the Band marched in front of the Soldiers. The bells of many of these instruments (some Trumpets, Baritones, Euphoniums, etc) were pointed towards the Soldiers so that they could hear the music better and (supposedly) march to the beat. The "over the shoulder" instruments only lasted for a couple of decades and faded from history.

Yippy Trenty got a sponsor

I forgot how funny this videos were

plot twist, ive seen a trombone like this

Amazing channel 💯👏

i want it.

Does it help to wear a Trilby while playing this horn?

Ik im a little late but what if they had a six valve bass trombone

4:39 what the heck

Thanks for an interesting video as always

getting out to 7th position

Wow 😳
