To see exactly what differences changing the various parameters made in 'matching' the impedance of a given mouthpieces to an instrument that I 'wanted' to be committed to (a 'good' mint condition Williams Model 6, that I had waited so long to get), I bought a 'double' set (to enable A/ B comparisons) of Warburton mouthpieces in a single size: two each of three cup depths(s, m, l) they offer for 'that' size, along with all 6 throats (1-6, smallest to largest), each in both their tapered and un-tapered back-bores. Then I set about making an accounting of how varying one parameter at a time changed either the feel or the sound, in hope of finding 'the one' that matched the physical properties of this instrument. As a long ago retired orchestral player (who was a brides-maid rather than a bride in more principle auditions than I was able to suffer), I had no preconceived notion of how I wanted or 'should' sound: one needs only to sound 'like' a trombonist for anyone else to care. I only wanted the physics to 'work'! It is depressing that no one on the major trombone forums expressed any interest in the results. Trombonists are, it seems, so much committed to their brands as fans, that they simply don't care. All that matters is that a well known player sponsors it! But here is the problem: the biggest take away from the test was that when I was in shape...I WAS SO STRONG, THAT IT DIDN'T MATTER WHICH COMBINATION I USED, I WAS STRONG ENOUGH TO 'MUSCLE' OR 'WRESTLE' ANY COMBINATION WITH LITTLE CONCIOUS EFFORT! How then do 'great' players, such as might be sponsored by mouthpiece manufacturers, as strong as 'they' are, bring anything of use to the table? Well, it came to pass that having recovered my embouchure after decades away from the horn, I had to stop playing again' for a few years and lost it, and it occurred to me that my newly acquired 'weakness' might, for its need of 'help' be a more dependent partner, revealing the slight differences come of changing mouthpiece dimensions. It was.

These instruments don't really have a place though. They're too expensive for what they are, when you could just get a legit trombone for that price. For less than half the price you could get a much better sounding Chinese horn.

This is definitely a large small bore tenor more than a small large bore one like a Conn 8H with the SL2525 slide... Quite goldilocks for me...

Is he playing a C maj in 1st position?

You sound amazing on these horns with these microphones. I'll just have to come for a visit and buy one. Thanks keep it up. appreciate it.

JJ Johnson, .547??

Beautiful sound from a.525- .547 bore- phat, beautiful overtones! Love my Getzen 3047, play in commercial/ jazz, love it. Note- my main horn is bass trombone Yamaha bylaws 613g with Doug Yeo mouthpiece. Appreciate your playing Keith, and your commentary!

How would i get one of these?

Is it compatible with a pshooter/ straight trombone

Why don’t you also show the case?

I bought a 3B+ with gold brass bell and F attachment in the early 1980s and still have it today. Unfortunately I don’t play it enough but now I want to bust it out and bring it to my next practice! Great playing.

Love my 3B+!

Great video of a great horn. I had a King that I used for marching band so I wouldn’t destroy my Olds Recording. I wish I could remember the model. I do remember it was all silver. I was a kid so I may not have even cared about the model.

I like the centerd tone of the yellow brass

Bro sounds way too good. Like this shouldn't be possible

Keith does doodle ! Very nice high range too.

WOW Keith.....you are a BEAST of a player!! Well done my friend!!

is this available in g/d trigger instead of flat/dflat???

Beautiful playing, and the new mouthpiece sounds great too.

I’m definitely buying one! I think it would be a gas to use in my New Orleans-style brass band, in combination with my trombone. I will call you!

Very nice! I love my 3B anniversary special edition. Congrats on your weight loss too!

Great vintage sound such that the character of the instrument makes you sound like a time traveler.

Great sounding horn, and terrific playing! Thanks so much 😊

Ayeeee au privav is one of the first pieces I tried to transcribe ❤

i gotta go back [in a year or 2] to see what other carbon fiber brands were mentioned. love the pBone since it's so light. GOTTA SAY BRASS STINKS IN DIRECT SUNLIGHT-- CAN'T SOMEBODY MAKE MATTE FINISH OR ??? hate glare/reflections off shiny metallic. it's like staring directly into the sun. maybe find an old brass trombone with all of the shiny stuff thats fallen off? but it's too heavy

That's as sweet an alto sound as I've heard anywhere, with both vibrant tone and fine control.

Great video! This explains why some Italian operas have technically difficult licks for trombone, such as the Act I opening notes of Verdi's La Traviata and the ending of Mascagni's Cavalleria Rusticana. They were probably often played on the valve trombone.

Traded in my Yamaha Xeno 822g (with the typical too deep mouthpiece engagement problem) for a Q36GR. I also tried the Yamaha 835 (vanilla without detachable bell) and a bog standard Shires Custom. To say I was disappointed with the Yamaha would be an understatement. As with the 835GD I tried a couple of weeks ago, the bottom was easy, but sounded nowhere as round, deep as the 835GD. But as opposed to the 835GD, the basic tone was hard, even shrill, even at low dynamic levels. Then came the Shires custom. The response on the Custom was like playing through a wet blanket and even though it had a yellow brass bell - the standard one - I didn't feel the sound wanted to project at all. Just fell out of the bell onto the floor. Then came the Q36GR - what a difference. Very easy response without me getting the feeling I'm falling into the horn. And the upper range slotted so much better than the 822g. Finally I can play the high gs in the Elisabeth Raum piece without scratching them. Using a custom 1.5 leadpipe improved the higher regsiter even more, but lost a little precision in the low register. The valves are amazing. No real difference I could tell between the open horn f in 6th and a G-flat paddle in -2 or f paddle f iT1, for example. Then, a wave of "Buyer's remorse" washed over me. So despite being on vacation in an AirBnB, I pulled it out yesterday morning and this morning and ... nope all there like in the sales room. McCarty pages 1 & 2 were a breeze. As was the first page of the Lebedev Concerto in one movement. Can't wait to get back from vacation to put in some real time on it.

I’ve got a question. Is the Bach 6 1/2 AL an orchestra mouthpiece? I’ve got other mouthpieces but when I use the 6 1/2 AL my high notes just soar. I wanted to know because it definitely has a brighter tone, but I wanted to know whether or not it’s TOO bright, you know. As a player it definitely feels the best out of my mouthpieces. I just wanted to see if you had anything to say about it because I’m playing on a shires q-series with a gold brass bell and Thayer valve, which is absolutely an orchestral horn.

I think you got the different wraps mixed up, I saw videos of this exact horn and a pro horn similar to this one and they had the exact same style of wrap. I think that specific wrap is known as a semi-open wrap where it's just not as tight as the closed wrap that you see on a standard conn 88h or Bach 42b, so a semi-open wrap is somewhere in between a fully closed and fully open wrap. Not to get confused between a closed wrap and a semi open wrap

Morceau Symphonique if anyone was wondering. Sounds great Keith!

Can I use 5BL for tenor trombone

I had one in high school. It was from the early 80s. Is that trombone available?

That renish🤤🤤

You look like Sam Hyde

I’d love to get this horn. What size is the bore size, does it comes in large shank?

CUÁNTO VOLVERA ESE MODELO BICOLOR D LA HERITAGE NO ME GUSTA ACTUALMENTE EL TODO DORADO Q ESTA HACIENDO DENIS WICK HERITAGE

Can you give us an update with greenhoe

I just bought a late 30s silvertone 2B with the gold plate trim and after watching this I'm even more excited for it to arrive! And I'll only be the second ever owner

Have you guys considered getting some Rath trombones?

Just listened to your new video covering the Yamaha 8820GD. While this sounds great, the Yamaha sounds different and frankly, its sound is better suited to the orchestral excerpts you played, than this Shires. There's almost too much "shine" on the sound with this Shires - maybe a bit better with a gold-brass bell???

I've listened to you play many various trombones in the last few years. You've never sounded better than on this horn. Up, down in the middle, doesn't matter. It fits you and how you play like a glove. I did a play test of a Yamaha 835GD and as much as I wanted to like it, it didn't work for me. The mids and lows were lovely, rich sound, great response. But the upper register closed off, not like the Shires Q36GR I compared it with. But to each his own. Going to try a Shires Bollinger Travel in two weeks and compare that to a Yamaha 835.

Que precio tienen los trombones usados con rotor

"I'm gonna be playing everything on my trusty Bach 5G" never gets old. Great playing, thanks for sharing your thoughts on this awesome horn!!

My son has been playing in band for several years and tried a couple different instruments until he found the slide trombone and he really likes playing it.

I had pondered adding a Yamaha large bore, but went with your Lake City Flugabone, which just arrived right on time for the long holiday weekend.

Great video! How would you compare the OD to the OR model? I'm looking to move on from my Bach 42, and you have used similar language to describe the playing experience. I tried the OR, loved it, but I've found the OD at a more friendly price point. Any/all thoughts appreciated!

Judging by my ears you definitely sounded a lot broader, more crisp, and more open on the 891 compared to the 897

How does this vary to a marching baritone, I know dumb question, but similar shape so I guess there the same? Correct me down below
