@tools240 The piccolo trombone is probably more of a 'joke', but very difficult to play. The smallest useful trombone would be the soprano trombone that I demonstrated in this video.
Thank you for this great demonstration of the Soprano Trombone... I’ve never heard it play before.... check that off from the bucket list! :) I do, however, wish it was called a “SideTrumpet”, since I am a trumpeter :)
I have long been impressed with your ability to play any, all, and every brass instrument ever created by the hand of man. There may be others who can do that, but I am not one of them.
I received a Moz brand soprano trombone recently. I did notice several things about it. A standard trumpet mouthpiece will fit. Also, a trumpet mute will fit in the bell. The slide positions are closer together than on a tenor trombone, which makes 7th position easy to reach. The bell and slide sections separate for transport; the case is the same size as a trumpet case. The tuning of the soprano trombone is at the joint between the slide and bell sections. It looks like it will be a good alternative to trumpet for techniques like glissando use, and more levels of the harmonic series can be used.
Im really glad you posted these soprano trombone videos. For a very long time, I think I may have been one of only a few people with videos of it on RUclips. You explained it and taught me some things. I wish more people took the soprano trombone seriously, it’s a beautiful instrument. Your videos make others aware of it and hopefully encourage people to try one. Thank you.
I like this just because this is one of the few videos aknowledging that it is not a slide trumpet (I wish the sop mouthpieces were easier to find though)
Trumpet mouthpieces tend to have shallower cups than trombones of the same size, to get a more "trumpety" sound. Try looking for trumpet mouthpieces with deep cups. An aqcuaintance of mine used a fluegelhorn mpc with an adapter on his soprano trombone with good results.
I saw one of these advertised in mint condition and I just had to have it. It certainly will be fun wee thing just to have. Thanks for your review it made me part with a little bit of cash but worth it.

+Trent Hamilton I think that the E flat alto may be/ have a B flat tuning crook , that can be had or made for it. I wish I had bought an Alto no matter the Key. The Jupiter I have does not like 7th position at all.If the socks were 11 mm longer it would be ok. What was the Mfgr of the Alto Trent has. I can not pay 2500 U$D for a Conn or Yamaha, with a B flat trigger. I would have to have a manual, replaceable Tuning Slide Crook. I think I could build one from scraps of old horns.
I am a beginner trombonist (tenor trombone with 'fun valve') and now I absolutely MUST get a soprano trombone! And for those wondering where to get one, Thomann is currently selling the Thomann SL5 soprano trombone for £129 (+ delivery), which in today's money (April 2023) is about US$160 (+ delivery).
I am awaiting delivery of a soprano trombone, which I treated myself to on a complete whim!... As someone who already owns a tenor trombone and a trumpet I was just going to figure things out for myself, but your videos have been really informative. ❤
The funny thing is, is that you say "Slide Trumpet" most people actually refer to it as "Slidey Trumpet" more just to make fun of the Soprano Trombones.
For someone who plays tenor trombone and euphonium, would it be better to get a soprano trombone or a regular b flat trumpet if they wanted to get a trumpet sound?
It depends why they're wanting to get a trumpet sound. The soprano trombone is more of a gimmick in most arenas. The trumpet is infinitely more useful.
Trent Hamilton Thanks. I played trumpet for a good while back in high school, but moved to euphonium because my embouchure was more for that range. Only problem with the trumpet is that my range is very limited.
Thanks Trent, I bought one of these Jupiters several years ago just to mess around on. Had it out of the case a 1/2 dozen times; hated the little short slide, plus got annoyed with the unnatural angle I had to put the slide assembly to keep my finger tips from cracking into the bell.
To avoid the fingernail problem, can you not alter the angle between the slide and the bell? (I'm not a brass player, but I'm pretty sure that can be done on a tenor trombone.)
Cereal 27 I disagree. Soprano trombone has more in common with playing trumpet than tenor trombone. If you want to play soprano trombone, I'd say go for it. However, it should be noted that there aren't many ensemble opportunities to play soprano trombone. Most of the time a trumpet would be the standard brass instrument to play in that range. Probably just a trombone choir.
Reason for drew's comment having validity is the speed at which you need to play most music written for the instrument is not feasible due to trumpets having valves. From an embouchure (face) standpoint, it's a trumpet. However, the mindset and techniques used to play it will be more in line with a trombone (slurring is hard, intonation is a challenge b/c slide, etc)
The mouthpiece looks bigger than a trumpet one, more like a Eb tenor horn mouthpiece. ( I really hope it's the same size as a horn mouthpiece as I can't play anything smaller! )
I am trying to learn to play a slide trombone and soprano trombone, I really love the euphonium, but do not have one. I played brass in college. I get most of my toys " in need of overhaul condition " . But my soprano trombone is a new JeanBaptiste . Could you do some How to videos on moving from valves to slides. Other than doggedly rudimentary ,trial and error ,I had little success. This is a return to youth endeavor. I play most valve horns by ear , I just remember and play or just wander off freely making up as I go. Very good fun. Thanks Daryllynn.
+darylynn621 I'm not sure if this helps or not but the conversion going from valves to slides (in the same key of course): Position | Valves 1 | open 2 | 2 3 | 1 4 | 1, 2 5 | 2, 3 6 | 1, 3 7 | 1, 2, 3 There's nuance of course but that's the general chart. (source: I'm a trumpeter who also plays a large amount of soprano trombone)
+Matt Kemmerer Neat! I want to get a soprano trombone really badly and have figured out that positions correspond to fingerings, but it was handy to be able to confirm that with your little chart :) I think the trouble will be actually finding the position while playing.
+Jams & Bros it becomes second nature quicker than you'd think. If you have the money I'm told miraphone makes a slightly better model than the Jupiter. Basically some sopranos don't really have a seventh position.
There are 7 different valve combinations on a three valve instrument, and 7 different slide positions. You have to remember the exact same number of elements.
You're awesome! Just subscribed:) Although I was wondering, were did you buy that soprano? I can't find them anywhere at music stores and don't know where to look online. Can you leave a link to where you bought yours ( if you bought it online of course) , anyway thanks!
+Brendan Schuster Both are true in a way. The soprano trombone is an octave higher than the tenor, so if you read bass clef, the positions are the same but it'll sound an octave higher. As for the trumpet, it's in treble clef, if you read soprano trombone in treble clef, then it's the same as the trumpet. The difficulty arises that bass clef is a non-transposing clef and treble clef is transposing. Check out my video called 'Trombones are not in concert pitch'
Do you have a slide trumpet? My teacher had one that he claimed was a slide trumpet. It slotted a trumpet mouthpiece and had a slide, I don't know what else to say
Aaron Witzel I actually play on a John Packer bass trombone. It’s not too bad considering how cheaply priced it is compared to other bass trombones. For something like a soprano trombone, it should be perfectly fine, but I haven’t seen or played one.
Dear Trent, I am a woodwind player but I would love to have a small "joke" trombone. My question is: Should I go for a Soprano trombone or a Piccolo trombone? Thanks.
Hi Trent, I just got a soprano trombone for novelty purposes. I was wondering what type of mouthpiece i should get for it (doesn't come with one). Also what music should you get for it.
Yes. Trombones tend to use comparatively deeper cups on their mouthpieces than trumpets to get the right sound, so look for deep cup trumpet mouthpieces. I know a guy who uses a fluegelhorn mpc (+ adapter) on his soprano to get the tromboney sound he wants.
Hi Trent I recently lost my trumpet I can't afford to get a new one if u have anything you want to part with it can be junk I just need something to play please help if you can. Your Friend Iann
The Thomann SL5 soprano trombone is selling for £129 (+ delivery), which in today's money (April 2023) is about US$160 (+ delivery). That's super cheap!
Soprano is an odd one. I'm finding you HAVE to play it more like a trombone than a trumpet - because it IS a trombone, not a trumpet, even using a trumpet mouthpiece and having a trumpet-like tone! In the end it sound a lot more like a REALLY high tiny tenor trombone than a trumpet being played with a slide.
Dave The Brassman it's good for a trombone player that can't be assed to learn using valves as with a lot of good practice you can end getting the same results of a trumpetist up to the higher intermediates, once reached this point you either have to become a god of the slide or you're much better off learning valves as at one point you can only precisely move to the various positions that fast.. Still good to add some color on normal trumpet tracks, at least this is what I think as they're never used on orchestras or bands but they did find a place in "trumpet" solos.
Hi, sorry this is late but I think that you can do it. I started on the Tenor and now I also have Soprano. The only thing that is hard is getting used to the trumpet mouthpiece.

Are the slide positions the same as a "regular" trombone?
Yes. Well, as a percentage of the instrument. The soprano is half the size of the tenor ("the regular") so the positions are thus also half the size.
Where can I buy a soprano trombone, and what would be a good price for it?
Is it a transposing instrument like a trumpet or in concert pitch like a tenor
where can I buy a similar one?
Whats the best trumpet for jazz,big band and concert?(like one for all?)that is at reasonable prices.
