Where can you get a free trumpet?

Your best option is probably a site like Craigslist, though it seems unlikely that you'll find one offered for free; trumpets are valuable enough that anyone who has a working one is probably going to want to recover at least part of their investment. (For that matter, even one that doesn't work is probably worth at least a few bucks as scrap metal.)

What are the trombone po sitions for the Eb scale?

From Eb on the staff to Eb above the staff, they go 3 (Eb), 1 (F), 4 (G), 3 (Ab), 1 (Bb), 3 (C), 1 (D), and finally, 3 (Eb).

What year was your Browning Trombone 22 pump made serial number is 71086?

Hello

I also have a 1928 Browning 22 Trombone. Based on the serial number given, your gun dates prior to 1956 because it has no prefix or date code. Therfore based on total product of about 150000 units over 53 years your rifle should be a late 1940's model. I would say some ware around 1948 - 1949.

Hope this helps.

Name the brass instrument with the lowest tone?

The tuba has the lowest tone/pitch. It is actually a pretty cool instrument, I play it in concert band!!

What keys are trumpets and clarinets in?

more precisely, they are valves. but here is how they are commonly referred to:

if the trumpet is in playing position(mouthpiece at your mouth, bell forward) the 1st valve is the one nearest to your face. your left thumb will rest either against this valve casing or in a little hook right near it. depressing this valve lowers the pitch of the instrument one whole step

the 2nd valve is the middle one. there will be a slide extending out at something like a 45 degree angle away from the trumpet on the casing for this valve. depressing this valve lowers the pitch of the instrument one half step

the 3rd valve is the farthest away from your face. your ring or middle finger will rest either on the casing for this valve or, more commonly, in a ring on a slide extending from the valve casing. depressing this valve lowers the pitch of the instrument one and one half steps. so the effect it roughly the same as if you had depressed both the 1st and 2nd valves at the same time (though depressing the 1st and 2nd valves is more in tune). here is a concert Bb (trumpet C) major scale using those valve names

C-open

D-1st and 3rd

E-1st and second (or 3rd alone)

F-1st

G-open

A-1st and second (or 3rd alone)

B-2nd

C-open

Is the trumpet the the lowest brass instrument?

Short answer: Yes.

Long answer: Yes.

Longer answer: Many people who start on the trumpet end up changing instruments (sometimes french horn, baritone, trombone, or tuba). However, the most popular instrument is still the trumpet.

What are the brass instruments highest to lowest tone?

lowes-highest

tuba, french horn, trombone, trumpet.

I have to say I am trully honered to be represented

on this website to help people who are really lost with

their music, we will always be here to help you :) ------ Actually, you're apparently one of those lost people, because the trombone is lower than the horn. I'm not entirely sure which is higher, trumpet or horn, but I think they're about the same. I know on the trumpet how high you can go depends on your skill, and I'm pretty sure it's the same for the horn. So I think it would be: tuba, trombone, horn/trumpet. I think that depending on e skill of the player, either the trumpet or the horn could be highest brass instrument. Also, this list doesn't include all brass instruments, like baritone (same pitches as a trombone, but it uses valves, not a slide) and soprano trumpet (higher han a trumpeter horn, but it's a type of trumpet, so...) and flugelhorn or cornet (around the same pitch as a trumpet.) also, a bugle is like a trumpet. And that's not all the brass instruments. I'm sure there re more, I just can't think of them at the moment.

What is the brass instrument that has a slide?

That would be the trombone. The trombone has a main slide instead of valves to alter the length of tubing that the vibrating air has to travel through to change the pitch of notes. All brass instruments have tuning slides to slightly lengthen or shorten the tubing length to help tune the instrument.

What is a funny trombone slogan or saying?

Here's one: how do you find a trombone player's kid at the playground? He doesn't know how to use the slide, and he can't swing.

What does the bell of a brass instrument do?

Generally, a bell (widening of the bore of a tube to a flared ending) serves the purpose of an acoustical impedance match. The impedance that vibrations in the instrument face is quite different than the impedance of the open air, and the gradually enlarging bell couples the vibrations out of the tube into the air.

In the case of woodwinds which have bells, the effect is considerably lessened, because the sound from these instruments leave the bore through the fingerholes as well as the bell, but generally speaking, the bell affects all of the tones which leave the instrument, reinforcing and making them louder.

Do all brass instruments use a valve to change the pitch?

Most brass instruments use valves. The trumpet, tuba, baritone, and french horn all have valves to change the length of the tubing. The trombone and bugle are two common brass instruments that do not have valves.

Do horses whistle?

Horses make many noises, but they do not bray.

Some vocal sounds that horses may make include:

  • Whinny
  • Neigh
  • Nicker
  • Snorts
  • Screams
  • Blows

Donkeys (and some mules) do bray.

What note does a trombone tune to?

It's the note, A. Usually at 440 pitch (440 hertz, or 440 cycles per second) Some orchestra conductors have tuned at concert A448 - Zubin Mehta did this as it produced a slightly 'brighter' sound overall.

Which instruments is considered to be one of the most versatile brass instruments and is used in jazz bands marching bandand in symphony orchestras?

A Trombone is very versatile because it has a slide, not valves. A slide enables special musical technique, such as glissandos. Also, trombones have the greatest relative range in the brass section, with the ability to play both high and low pitches.

Is it hard to learn to play the French horn?

Yes, it's difficult to learn how to play the French horn. First, the tone may be discouraging from beginning and inexperienced players. It's apt to be wobbly without dedicated practice and experience.

Second, a French horn's sound is effective only in the upper notes. It requires more effort to produce higher than lower notes. So a French horn player must breathe very hard into the mouthpiece.

Third, the French horn's mouthpiece is difficult to work with. It's unique in having a funnel shaped mouthpiece. All other brass instruments have cup shaped mouthpieces. So experience with most other brass instruments is no help in learning this particularly challenging brass instrument.

Fourth, the tube of the French horn is about 16 feet/5.3 meters long. That means a lot of length through which the player must project breath. And the tube is not only long, but big. In fact, it forms a big circle. The player's hands must be able to be placed around the edge of that circle. At the same time, the fingers must be able to touch keys that aren't user friendly. They're located in the middle of the instrument!

What are the notes on crazy train to trombone?

The notes for Crazy Train depend on what key you want it in. The original key for the song is Concert D, which is E on the tenor sax.. I wouldn't play it in E. it really depends on your level of experience on the instrument.

The begging riff goes like this: (after bass guitar part)

EEBECEBE AGF#G AGF#D (play three times)

(Slur) (Slur)

Highest and lowest sounding brass instruments?

There's a small trumpet called a piccolo trumpet which sounds one octave higher than a regular trumpet, and nearly always has four valves to aid in fast fingering. One is used for the famous song Penny Lane by the Beatles. It has a great ability to sound clear and bright above the midrange instruments and voices.

If there's any other brass instrument that's even higher in range, it's something rare, experimental or a novelty.

Who is a famous jazz trombone player?

Most famous and able composers for the trombone, in orchestral line-up, are Richard Wagner and Richard Strauss. Of course there are a lot more composers you could mention, each with his own perspective of how to make use the trombone is his compositions.
