When you say you replaced the leadpipe, what kind exactly did you use?

Whats the large bore horn youre using in the video?

See Life hacks for male brass players - Trent Hamilton

I own a trombone by that company and its a fun horn to play around with

Wow ❤❤

I own a 36 convertible and I love it!! I use it in classical, for community band, in the studio, and with a combo and big band. Very versatile and sounds great in all settings. Great video!!

New to trombone in my early 20's, love jazz, jazz combo sets, and I'm finally working on my chops with a peashooter I've had lying around. Man, you are awesome, thanks for introducing some new sounds to my ears and giving me more to look forward to-- Super cool, awesome.

This is really valuable. Thank you.

GORGEOUS bone! I love the ornate engraving that old horns have. I wish they put in that amount of love to their work nowadays.

Great job Bryant!

Nice video. Are you still playing with NePlus? What’s your current equipment? Thanks!

Nice Fez.

grunkle stan is that you

I AM standing up…

Bryant you have to stand on a box like Milt did, to properly play that lick!

I'm a guitar player but I didn't know the term lick would be applicable to a trombone. Sounds good man. What's up with the hat! I hope you wear it everywhere.

Thank you so much. 🎉🎉 ❤

Do you have any tips for keeping the Harmon mute from falling out of the bell? I usually wind up holding mine in place, which is less than ideal.

Just to mention: there are fountain pens with a music-nib.

Thank you you saved my life

My trombone slide lock is stuck,broken and the little thing on the actual slide is gone

informative, thanks for sharing, shriners hat a nice touch

Do you have any videos or recordings of you playing tuba?

and through bryant's career, he forgot about alto

Love your hat!

Thanks for the excellent exposition on the trombone. I've played the trombone for quite a long time, but never appreciated the complexities and parts nomenclature until now.

How much the price sir?

Legendary explanation

Thank you so much for these videos. I am a recovering trombonist who has had a relapse. (I was SO cool in about 1995 that Slide Hampton told me I had chops-a-plenty) After two years of majoring in music, became a performance major, and then freaked out and quit. (I have some lingering angst about that) I've recently returned to playing, and its like I've been in prison for 30 years. Things have changed on the outside. I joined the community band, met some folks and now I'm in a trombone choir, subbing for a swing band, and might end up in a real Chicago area jazz band. Blah blah, the point is, I'm trying to explain my need to catch the hell up, and thank you for your frank, insightful, discussions about equipment. Some people are fanatical about it, some grab whatever is close by. I have always had a need to control anything I can about my playing, including exactly how everything blows, feels, functions and flows. I've never played outside of the ivory tower. I've been trying to learn everything I can about what works, what doesn't, how to transport it, how to load in and out. What I'm saying is, I cant thank you enough for you clear explanations of how things work, don't work, and when and why. I just ordered the black mute you like the least, but I think I might be able to make it work. My day job is restoration work on vintage cars, so I think I might fabricate a bucket mute from a Fez in your honor. Please keep them coming, I need your help and advice.

Very good video on the Bach 36. I am looking into buying a Bach 36. I think that it is a very good all around do everything trombone. And Keep the hat, it actually is good style for a trombonist. We are a special group that create our own style.

Thank you very much for sharing and for your time making this video. It helped a lot.

Hey Bryant, I have had a bit of quandary for years with mouthpieces and just moved to the 5G from the 4G and would like to hear your thoughts if possible. I play Lead Trombone in an English Champiionship Section Brass Band. This chair is a pig of a seat to fill as you have to be an orchestral symphony player, sometimes a jazz player, and also play all night at the top of the chord and the instrument is never off your face. Overall the tenor seats in an top class English Brass Band require wide bore instruments and I play a 40 year old Elkhart 88H and the 5G helps with the high stuff a little bit with very little detriment to the sound. I would still like a little more help upstairs though and wondered about the 5GS. Do you think that the 5GS with the smaller throat would help playing high for long periods - and what about the possibility of switching from the 5G to the 5GS for different programs? As they are the same rim size would that be fairly easy to do or could you foresee any problems with that? - I would appreciate your reply - and anybody else reading this - ALL ideas are good - some just more good than others! 🙂

I love your content

Have you ever tried a vintage De Polis mute?

Do you have any suggestions for good alto trombone mouthpieces?

I really want a bass pbone but they barely exist

I love this guy

Treble clef is so scary

Helpful 👍🏼 Been playing a Doug Elliot gold played LT100 rim with F cup and F8 shank for decades. Love the feel of the gold plating, but have never really loved the sound, clarity of articulation. Just tried a 5GS and I like the sound better. I’m a little worried that the slightly sharper inner edge of the rim/cup will negatively impact my endurance, but we shall see…

he somehow didn't mention ferrules or counter-weights even once

This is an old video, but I figured I’d put the question out there: is building range on the alto helpful for transferring the range onto the tenor? Personally, I’m interested in the alto for playing music in keys that lend themselves to the Eb horn, but I’d be curious to know if it would be helpful as a practice tool for range as well. Thank you!

Good insights! With high trombone parts in bass clef with lots of leger linesI have even resorted to writing them out in treble clef as a Bb transposing instrument to make them more legible, using MuseScore.

That was informative and entertaining. Thank you for going to the trouble to make this video.

I have a pbone with a bad water key. I was using it for a muted sound until I I noticed all of the liquid getting everywhere. Great information for use on my brass horn. Is there any trick to the water key on a pbone? Or a video on it's repair?

Great information!

I have a . hamilton stand and the black tip has worn through and I have been unable to find a replacement. Where can I get replacement tips

One of my favorite horns is my Conn 38h. It plays like a dream even with a heavier TIS.

Love your vids. Learning loads!

Love the vid, and the Fez!

So i have been using a yamah 48 for 10 months or so, i have a yamaha 446g . 525 bore. I have tried the 5g off and on but it is much darker and definately challenging in the high register. I just dont feel like the yamaha 48 is right for me. I recently got a 5gs. How long do you think it will take to adapt from the yamaha 48 to the 5gs. I notice that it is just a little bit darker then the yamaha, but not as dark as the 5g. I also tried the 6 1/2 al but felt it was too small for me. I also feel the 48 is too small, but the 5g too big. I bought the 5gs because it is like you said in the middle of 6 1/2 al and 5g. I am looking for endurance and clarity of notes mainly, plus stability of holding those notes, if you understand what i mean. Thanks for the informative video. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
