Brass Instruments

Marching baritones are a bit heavier and the mouth pieces are much bigger than a mellohone. Some people sometimes refer to the mellophone as a marching french horn because they are so much alike.

1994 - 1995

Yes Shawna played the trombone herself after the studio provided her with lessons.

You should know all your scales..

theres

D

B flat

A flat

G

F

C

And chromatic these scales should all be mastered if you play trombone.

Isn't that your homework? But i play the flute. Ask a band teacher or someone close to you.

The more you play the more addicted to the instrument you get. You are insanely awesome if you are a low brass player. If you blow too hard you will explode into a million pieces!

The Wurlitzer Brasshorn, or Brass Horn is an add-on speaker/horn for the electronic Wurlitzer organ of the 1960's, and was designed to accentuate the frequencies of the organs more mid-range voices such as the oboe & trumpet. Surprisingly the organ's string tab sounds very realistic through the brassbell when using the pitch bend lever that is located on the upper left edge of the volume pedal. Activating the lever while at the same time raising and lowering volume gives a super imitation of a violin.

The brassbell is approximately 20 or so inches in length and consists of a larger horn driver that is cylindrical shaped with each end flat. The driver is not unlike the driver you see at the ballgame mounted to the backs of the stadium horns. The driver is mounted onto a boom type of mic stand via the long flange cast into the driver shell. The side of the driver which delivers the sound has another casting which is tapered, hollow, and serves as the mounting where the actual brass horn is attached. Around the base of this casting, surrounding the area of the driver where the sound comes out are the words WURLITZER above, and BRASSBELL below.

The brass horn is just that- a horn shaped like the bell on a trumpet and made from shiny brass.

To hear a fine example of a Wurlitzer 4500 organ as heard through a Wurlitzer Brasshorn( the 4500 was the first Wurlitzer full sized console organ that was 100% transistorized) go to youtube and watch:

Mr. Fantastic and the Wonderful World of Wurlitzer

The Wurlitzer Brasshorns are considered very valuable and can fetch more than the organs which used them.

They play at very low quality and have high resistance to play loud (which means dynamics are terrible on it) . A cheap Chinese instrument

Look on Ebay, I have just bought an LP that way. The title is Trumpet On The Wing - Wingy Manone. I have copies of the few recordings he made with Sidney Bechet and he plays wonderfully. Please contact me Kathy on remsys@ukart.com, best wishes, Mac.

It's difficult to know exactly what you mean. Probably the most common use for a Trumpet is to play music written for the trumpet.

well mines name is frenchy haha and my old one's names were belle (because of the large bell) and valerie (because of the valves) :]

The repiano cornet is a part rather than an instrument. It found in brass band scores and is played on a standard B-flat cornet.

They are called valves.

The tubing on the brass instruments is curved to get a long tube into a short length.

Different trombones have different size openings for the mouthpiece. Tenors, especially those without F attachments, generally use small-shank mouthpieces. Large shanks are usually for euphoniums and bass trombones.

About $400 - $550 AUS depending on year

Early models tended to crack the wooden stock due to a square receiver.

Later 60's models came with dovetails for scope mounting.

I Can't remember what year manufacturing began but continued well in to the late sixties.

A length of pipe has a natural resonance when air is vibrated within it. The longer the pipe the lower the note

Normally a Bb trumpet would be considered the highest pitched but really it's a piccolo trumpet. A small trumpet with four valves

Try the positions 4 6 1 6 4 4 4 6 6 6 4 1 1 4 6 1 6 4 4 4 6 6 4 6 1.

Same as B-flat.

Most big name instrument companies make trombones. Yamaha, Bach, Conn, Holton, etc all make very good student model horns. Edwards and Shire are more expensive, but in my opinion they have superior craftsmanship. They also make custom trombones.

its steps on the scale like if u have a G the posible train chords going up would be G,Bb,Db its every 3 notes including sharps and flats. starting with G going down would be G,E,Db. when people put those high notes in its just showing range

The Euphonium's range is the same as the Bass Trombone starting in the Bass Clef ranging from B Flat 1 below the Bass Clef to B Flat 1 above the Bass Clef.

A trumpet piston (commonly referred to as a valve) is the part that goes up and down within the valve. See the related links for a picture.

the German name for the Trombone is "sackbut", meaning push and pull. The word "trombone" comes from the Italian word "trumba", meaning large Trumpet. It has seven different pitches. you change the pitches by moving the slide bar back and forth. Its a brass instrument. The most famous trombone song is "76 Trombones". It is featured in the movie "Music Man". Hope that helps.
the trombone was made in the mid 1400s
