Four octaves of Bb…. That is INSANELY impressive!!!! I can only go up to three, but the fact that you did four consistently and still with good tone.. AMAZING!!!!
He actually played a trumpet double g, he played a tuba f6 (concert pitch) which transposes to a trumpet g (b flat pitch) 4 ledger lines above the staff
A little physics note: If you can play the F on the top of the treble clef on a trombone, you can do it in 5 different positions. If you can squeak out the A-flat above it you can do it in all seven positions. With a tuba, you are effectively playing an octave higher on the harmonic scale and you really don't need valves any more.
As a beginning tuba player, the highest note I can play is a high B flat, but this is only my first year in the school band, so I'm still looking forward to it! I know the tuba is written for maybe half as high, but I still hope to one day play around that note!
I also play tuba, the highest note I can play is the bflat ABOVE the staff since I have experience with euphonium. Edit: After a years worth of practice i can play very high Eb
When I was ~4 years into playing my range was from Bb0 to Bb3. but I’ve gotten a bigger mouthpiece (Bach 7) and experience with a bass T-Bone now so my range is from Bb-1 to Bb4 which is (I think) 5 octaves. Btw this isn’t my “playable” range just my lowest and highest. My playable is probably Bb0 to C4 but I’ve never had to go that high or low.
Rather than relying on your top lip to buzz, maybe you should shift the mouthpiece off to your right side of your embouchure. Your right side appears to be the stronger side.
I can play Bb in 5 octaves on my tuba, pedal, under the staff, in the staff above the staff and double above the staff, that one not as well but can hit it

Coming from a violin/euphonium player, playing high notes is squeezing your lips very tightly. When you go very high, there is almost no gap between your lips which makes the note very hard to produce.
i play trombone and everyone is constantly telling me to play higher because i can hit a super F easily and ive played 2 octaves ABOVE that before and i also can play higher than all of the trumpets at my hs too its kinda cool

bruh ikr. i play trumpet too.
this guy can play higher on tuba than the clarinets who squeak in my band
Maybe not quite that high…

Thanks! It’s actually one step higher so I’m playing a C major scale. I’m playing a CC tuba.
just think. He didn't start from the fundamental. He could pull off 6
Tuba is practically all brass instruments in 1
I kind of agree, but as a trombonist I’m gonna have to disagree… 🤷♀️
As a trombonist I also agree
French horn and euphonium is closer
@@dogwater3548My multiple slides say otherwise.
@@potatothatisspicy Erm ackshually Trombones can have many slides if we wanted to 🤓

Yup I can approve

Good performance ! That said, it's easier with a flugelhorn ... and above all more practical to transport by bike.
Haha, fair enough!
I ever since I touched a tuba I was in love, but watching your videos really keep me motivated to practice
Happy to hear that! Keep up the practicing!

Yep, at some point they are useless.
yeah my teacher called tst the stratsphere(probably spelled that wrong)
@@landengunn2099 Yeah, it's up there!
Technically you can play a high F in 6 different positions (I, #3, 4, 5, 6, and 7)
Fun Fact: F on the bottom of Treble can be played in 3 positions (1, 4, 6)
Sheesh👏🙌 I’d be happy to play half as high.
Half as high is for all you actually need.
@@LowBrassU Dang this is insane. I’ve only ever hit a C5 and you hit a Bb5 in the video
As a euphonium player myself, this is impressive

Hey you, me being a beginner tuba player in school as well, I can only play b flat, but I'm excited to play an f!
I been playing it for a year now and i can play high e now but not consistently but I mastered all the very low notes
The Bill Chase of tuba playing
As a tuba player who trains under a professional this is some crazy range that takes years to learn
I can go higher even when I was beginner because I used the side of my mouth

Same!
I also play tuba, the highest note I can play is the bflat ABOVE the staff since I have experience with euphonium.
Edit: After a years worth of practice i can play very high Eb
I can almost get an octave higher than that it’s just painful

It scares me too!
Lol😊
As a tuba player the highest note I can do so far is a high b flat
I play tuba but as a beginner, and I don't think I'd ever make it that high! Anyone else feel me?
I switched from trumpet to tuba and ALL of the notes I played were too high 💀
Damm consistent tone wowo
My mouth just naturally suits the tuba + I’m Asian so I have played Bb6 (sqeak) once 😂
I GOT A FEELING HE MADE THOSE SOUND WITH HIS MOUTH
Nah
5:13 Don’t knock it ‘til you try it. Florglorps are a delicacy on planet Zobimble.
That’s super impressive!
bro thats my trumpet range💀💀
Impressive most impressive
Great job!! This is even difficult to achieve on my trombones and bass trombone being higher pitched instruments. And yet you sound like a pro. 😂😂😂😂
As a flute player, this doesn’t feel very high 😂😂😂
THESE COUNT AS NOTES I JUST MESS WITH THEM AS A JOKE 😂
They may be real notes just not real useful notes.
Bro turned into a Euphonium
When former horn player starts play the tuba 😊
Playing a high C on trumpet: 👏😃
Playing a high C on tuba: 💀💀💀
Impressive embouchure control. 👍🏽
Even though i play the euphonium I still love this
Honestly it seems like ur singing into the tuba
He’s not
Such a nice tuba sound
Thanks!
The clarinets and saxophones in my band rn:😬
I can hit a C4 then I’m out 💀
I Almost Passed Out One Time Trying To Get That Note
Don't do that!
Someone get this man a trumpet
As someone who’s tripled on instruments trumpet,tuba, and trombone that’s a bad idea tuba messed up my trombone and trumpet chops for a whole month😂😂😂
i switched from euphonium to tuba so i started with such a high range its fun to flex on people with it
I played euphonium before tuba!
That last note sounded like a fart 🤣
I'm a trumpet player and his highest note is the same as mine
That’s sad
As a middle school tuba player, i strive to be like this man
As a trombone player that can play an entire octave higher that the entire trumpet section i can relate
Youd think a 3/4 tuba would go that high, but no ;-;
This is possible on a smaller tuba as well.
Squeak gang
Stand up!
Yooo! I’m also a squeaker and a DCI nerd.
@@sceu25 great minds think alike 😎

You're welcome... Lol! :P
He was only screaming at the end 🤣
i play tuba as well and ur pretty good going high, cant even go as high as you.
I can’t even hit that on euphonium lol
YOUR JUST SCREAMING IN IT AT A CERTAIN POINT
Me trying to play the picolo trumpet
I can get four octaves. I’m not even gonna try to figure out what note it was.
yes this is higher than B- (+2) on bari sax
The highest point you can play the tuba on is clearly the mouthpeice
this guy plays 23 octaves higher than me, a Trombonist
Bro can play 4 octave scale damn
He wasn't trying for the low 2, so propably 6
I can play Bb in 5 octaves on my tuba, pedal, under the staff, in the staff above the staff and double above the staff, that one not as well but can hit it
Absolutely unnecessary😂(I play flute and can’t get this high)
Play Bolero de Ravel at pitch as a trombone would play on tuba lol
Now it became picolo😂.
The last part he wasnt even playing😂 tuba is a deep sound
That is higher than I can play on my euph (euphonium) 😨
Please get this man a trombone
triple c is crazy
Its sounds like saregam padanesa
He’s over here playing that and I can barely play high F😭😭😭
If you really want to get high but suck, then buy a trumpet mouthpiece, it doesn’t fit but it still works
bro really played a k#
Once you start going above the staff is when it gets unnecessary
Professional tuba range does go above the staff. Almost all major orchestral auditions for tuba will go up to a G above the staff.
Low brass nah piccolo yes 😂
Jajajajajajajajajajajajajaja

How far above the staff?
@@frigidoesstuff8570two ledger lines above treble clef staff
It got as high as the trumpet omg 😮
As a trombone player I am very disappointed in myself now. You can play higher than some of the trumpet players in my class
It might just take some time. I couldn't do this on day one but I can do it now that I'm on day 7400(approximately).
@@LowBrassU okay thanks
I can only get to the C two octives above the staff

Why? Playing high is pointless. Playing low and in tune is the point.
My mouth hurts just thinking about it
It doesn’t hurt if the air is doing the work.
En los bronces pesados es más fácil llegar a agudos lo digo por experiencia
Bro when would a tuba play that high
Basically never but there are things that are within an octave of that highest note.
Now
That is too funny to be real
you made it look so easy😔😅😭
That’s the goal!
