As a trombonist... I'm heartbroken RIP
Lee Mason is
I play trombone and I couldn't watch the end of this.
I am I saxophonist this makes me scared of what happens if I drop it
RatherFestive_Tree {Tech top} same brother.
I dropped a trombone once, thought I damaged it, turned out those “dents” were supposed to be there
drop the bass
Does that make his 'bone disfumctional?
We've had somebody do that with a stand-up bass before. She dropped it on the ground and ever since then people called her "drop the bass."
no don't we saw what happens when you drop something
The best comment ever
Daniel Kotyński *gets bass trombone* k
Dropping any instrument is like dying on the inside, even something like a 3 dollar recorder.
ThatGuyThatLikes Fans Dude I go to Osborne High School in Marietta, Ga and if any person grips their instrument they make them push 150-300 depending on which instrument was dropped and how.
Orangeflipflop Amen
FYI I destroyed my recorder a LONG time ago
Even dropping something mundane like drumsticks just makes you cringe with the noise.
Facts and I play Chromatic Harmonica 🤣🤣
As a trombonist, I almost cried during this and I have absolutely no clue how you are not.
i think he might of after the video finished.
As a fellow trombonist, when I saw you drop it originally, my heart dropped with it. R.I.P. Contrabass Trombone, you will be mourned.
Does this count as a bass drop?
i guess if... if it was a trumpet it would be a treble drop
I hate seeing a broken brass instrument, as a trumpet player myself, this pains me.
I took your Cheetos same on both in fact I have an assignment due in a day
Same, but im a tuba player
@@jordyhernandez641 Hey, I too, play the tuba. Being a *VorrnyVorrn* and all, good riddance. It is very difficult to get it back. But at least it still lives. I was referring to the contrabass trombone.
I hate seeing a broken brass instrument, as a tuba player myself, this pains me.
I'm sure there is some watcher out there that can fix this. I know the feeling of mistakenly destroying an instrument. I personally dropped my tenor trombone at a stone floor and I couldn't afford to fix it perfectly but it is playable. I hope you/Trent can get it playable :)
This is my biggest fear. A CONTRABASS TROMBONE!!! A $10,000 instrument. I'm so sorry. I play Tuba, I like bass brass instruments. So sorry.
ProxGames I like the sound of bass trombone parts on a regular trigger trbn
Idk some are 1380USD
Which in my country is 1500+
It’s not a miraphone
Anywhere from $12,000 to $28,000 from what I've seen where I am. And what's worse is that being such a niche instrument you almost have 0 chance of finding one second hand. I feel so bad for this guy
man my biggest fear is dropping any of my instruments (even a cheap espndable one) thats devastating
Ice ~ Loli espndables XD
dont bring attention to it :/
i am always afraid of dropping my trumpet but luckily i have never
HJ Neel you should what running over a trumpet video by Trent.
Ice ~ Loli the clarinets in my band literally drop their instruments all the time
I love to talk trash about trombones. However watching that drop and seeing the aftermath i am about as crused as that poor bell. I absolutly hate to see instruments go through such horror. Instruments to some people like Lamborghinis are to other. Beautiful things that are to precious to see broken. 💔💔 RIP Bass Trombone.
bandgeek electric what type of monster would talk trash about a trombone.
2 words. TRUMPET PLAYERS. and yes we are monsters. Haha
bandgeek electric or clarinet players. i make fun of them all the time
Being Chinese-made might explain how it suffered such extensive damage. We had a Conn (made in USA) trombone get run over by a trailer that was then completely repaired.
Yes, best reason for getting a good American or British or European horn rather than a cheap Asian one made solely for quantity. Better metal is more easily prepared. Though a good brass repairman can fix this - and it seems one has.
I have only ever dropped one of my trombones. I was practicing for a marching band and dropped it on solid concrete. The slide was bent to a 45 degree angle, the bell was just mangled and the support rod for the bell was snapped. Luckily it was only a £600 tenor trombone. I know have a £5000 Bach bass trombone. If I ever dropped that, I would be screwed
Oli McGinnes £600 is still a lot
I was trying to get the bell off of the slide and the bell popped up out of nowhere and now I have a really big dent in the bell
I can confidently say if I was playing it would sound exactly the same despite being dropped.
I just wanted to ask what a pedalbeater is
Panelbeater
Someone who fixes cars after a crash
when he quoted "doesn't make financial sense" saddest thing anyone can hear
I have a dent in the bell of my trumpet because I was oiling the valves and my hand had gotten oily and I had been walking away from my sink to my chair to play it and it slipped right out of my hands. It isn't that noticeable but I still feel bad about it because it's never good to drop an instrument, especially when its a professional instrument
Something so valuable shouldn't have to go through such pain
I'm glad to see you got this repaired in your latest video.
A part of me died when I saw the bell. RIP contraband trombone, you will be missed.
As a trombonist in school this really breaks my heart! I'm so sorry for you
as for the slide, get one of those slide aligning things (I have no clue what they call them) or a thing you can use to push the slide tubes back into a straight level. I think you said the rotor wasn't moving because the trigger that it's attached to was bent all out of shape
Im so sorry to see this, I don’t even play brass but it is so upsetting to see a fine peace of craftsmanship in a state of irreparable damage.
I am a young trombonist and any sort of trombone is my heart! I'm so so sorry that had to happen to you, ik it probably broke your heart more than mine whenever you dropped it and then hearing the news that it was totalled, I'm so so sorry this has to happen to you.
as a trombone player i almost cried during this, it hurts me not only too see my trombone get hurt but especially others, dont really know the contrabass trombone to well but i hope either you can get it fixed or you can get a new one, i realize this has been out for 2 months but im still sorry for what happened
For people asking how fragile these instruments are, they are very.
The slightest dent on the inner slides would put you either out of time forever until fixed or just make you unable to play.
Now just a normal Tenor Trombone is pretty light so dropping it from the height he did wouldn't be as bad, but a bass trombone is pretty heavy. And dropping one of those one a tile floor.
Ouch.
I know this comment doesn't help with your situation, but I hope you know that nothing you did was your fault. Everyone makes mistake except this one just meant a little more
And cost a little more
Cain Lohmeyer back in 9th grade band someone dropped their mouthpiece and my band teacher yelled at him. *Than i dropped by French horn*
i accidentally walked into a wooden table while holding a 60 year old trumpet, whacked the bell right into it. Thank god it didn't get any major dents
my friend was holding a trumpet by the mouthpiece let's just say it didn't go too well
dear god, if it was a student trumpet that thing must of become a pancake, those things are basically made of paper
I know how this feels, I dropped my first trumpet and the leadpipe broke off because of the way it landed. From one brass man to another, no one should ever had to go through the pain of putting an instrument out of commission
I don't think I'm ever going to hold my bass trombone with one hand again. If I ever drop that thing, I would probably cry. My band director would not be happy either.
I had commented on the other video and I'll stand by what I said there. It didn't look THAT bad (though I didn't know about the main slide at that point). Just about anything is repairable. The question though is whether or not it's worth fixing.
The damage to the bell isn't bad (I've seen worse). The support damage would be an easy fix. Same with the tubing sections that got pulled out. The rotary valve might be troublesome and require replacement, depending on what was wrong with it. The real problem is the main slide. Getting the alignment right on a standard slide can be a pain. Doing it with the double slide setup would be a nightmare. Wonder if they checked each one individually. If they did and each segment worked, you just have to get the alignment back.
Given that it was a cheap Chinese model, it probably wasn't worth fixing.
I have come very close to dropping my trumpet several times, but I always catch it with my foot before it completely hits the floor.
I feel so sorry for you. I was holding everything back not to cry because I hate to see this happen to instruments.
What kind of tools do you have? I would imagine that with a good assortment of hand tools and a blowtorch and solder that this could be your next project. It looks already pretty much screwed so you don't have to worry about making it worse. One of my best (and most frustrating) experiences I had was when I took a bottom rung student model bari sax (ready for the trash) and while not completing a full restoration worked on it until it came to the point where it could play all the notes and was relatively leak free. At this point all you can do is improve it.
I'll give you 150 USD for the bone and 100 USD to ship it if you don't want to repair it. I know a guy who can make it play better than it was straight out of the box
I think it would cost much more than that to ship it to the states.
Salty
Joe S wouldn't you be, id be rather salty is someone dropped my Bösendorfer
How do you drop a piano?
Trent Hamilton I'm just now seeing this. What ever happened to it? Do you still have it or did you get rid of it? Or did you fix it somehow?
I felt so bad when u dropped the trombone because of your face when it happened😕😂rip
You broke rule number one in beginning band - hold your instrument with two hands.
yes 100% yes my friend was holding a trumpet by the mouthpiece and he dropped it and it bent the bell and the 3rd valve was impossible to move
this pains me to see this as a brass player ;(
Me too
you should keep dropping it and see if you can fix it
my family does amateur instrument repair that trombone doesn't look too dissimilar to what we usually get before we repair it and ship it out, it looks very badly damaged but with enough work it could be repaired, although professional repair would as you said not be financially viable.
Baritone here, I'm very sorry about your Contrabass Trombone, I hope it got fixed within these 7 years.
Sorry for ur loss 🙁
this is late af but this actually made my heart skip a beat
Just turn it off and on again
Honestly I think it is bs that they Think it would be expensive to fix. I played a base trombone for a couple months and it doesn't seem that expensive to fix a slide. I know because I had my tenor trombone fixed this summer. I hope that someone can fix it for you bro.
You do realize that this is essentially a double sized bass trombone, that essentially uses a tuba mouthpiece.
To start with, the slide is a quad-bore arrangement, meaning each of the four slide tubes are different diametres. To fix them properly you would want four different sized mandrels, or four different sized dent removal tools. You could make do with others, but given the large bore of the instrument (tuba sized) finding appropriate tools is a lot more difficult.
+Trent Hamilton how much would it cost to fix my trombone slide on my tenor? (it's a Holton special from the twenties, I don't know if that matters). The slide meets a lot of resistance as it is pulled out and I assume the cause is that the pair of tubes that it slides on (for lack of a better description) are splayed outwards slightly. Also, the solder joint the connects the bell section to the tube that joins the bell and slide together has become undone (I assume due to tension).
*bass
+The Benny Gaming that wasn't necessary
How long did it take to come to terms with your mistake? Do insurance companies help in situations like this?
Alex Paulsen okay so no insurance doesnt help unless its stolen or broken by someone else, at least that is how my trombones are covered by my homeowners insurance.
Mors Mutual Insurance
Accidents happen though, and if you own something worth a few thousand dollars or more, you'd have it itemised (listed separately for an additional fee on your contents insurance) to cover you for all forms of oopsies and oh-shits. At least that's how I would assume it to be... Blatantly destroying it yourself, and accidentally letting go are two different scenarios, and a good insurance company should have you covered for the latter.
I mean they cover it if you accidentally set your house on fire so maybe that's just your insurance.
Mors Mutual Insurance yoyo someone stole my elegy and crashed it😂I love your name😂
man that sucks. really hope you can get a new one.
Twoset brought me here. This is really heartbreaking.
i've dropped my trombone many times, but hearing it fall, and seeing the damage made my heart drop. I hope you could get another one soon.
I've seen that clip several times of you dropping it but this is the first time I saw what happened after
That's a lot of damage, for an approximate 2-foot fall, bummer, very sad.......
This is hard to watch
I’m a trumpet player and I’m sad that this happened
I dropped my bass clarinet but it’s fine and now I immediately feel better about it after watching this
All I can say is at-least it happened with your instrument. I've had close calls with loaned and borrowed instruments. Still sucks that it happened though.
this is fixable to some extent. grab a mallet and hammer out the bell. grab some pliers to move the brace back to a parallel position, realign the the tube that popped out by the trigger and grab a.soldering iron and solder the rub back onto the brace and shove the tube back in. that's my advice. it seems user fixable to me to some extent
So Trent - do you still have the parts? I'd buy that bell section...
I'm sorry for the lost of your Contrabass.
At the very least, you can have all the pipes soldered back in place and have the slide straightened. Just forget about the rotor/valve. That way you can at least play it and wouldn't have to import new parts.
I've had that problem before- dropped my tenor bone my freshman year and the pipe came straight out of the rotor, and the pipe that the trigger was on was bent. also my slide was dented but that didn't get fixed until this year (two years later) I don't remember how much it costs though... as yours is a larger contrabass and has a double slide
You can see the tears in his eyes
:(
That sucks. I bought a tuba from eBay, that was about as beat up as that trombone, I took it to summerhays music, and they said that it would cost over $400 usd to repair. It made more financial sense to just return the tuba to the seller, so at least I got my money back. I feel sorry for you, that the trombone is ruined, I always hurts me to see a brass instrument in pain.
Will we get to see the comparison video
Somebody: drop the bass!
Trombonists who dropped and broke their trombone: *war flashbacks*
This exact same thing happened to me in middle school, back in the olden days. Good times.
I wonder, would it cost more to fix the trombone as it is or to melt it down and just manufacture one over again?
i could melt it down and turn it into a sword... a very very easy to damage sword but a sword nevertheless
My tenor trombone, an 85-100 year old H. B. Jay Chicago Columbia tenor, has a break between the slide brace and mouthpiece receiver.(A little similar to the break on your contrabass slide receiver part)However, it is not the solder that has came loose, the brass has torn in two. Would you recommend trying to repair the pieces, or just replacing them?
i wanted to cry after that video
I'm a repair tech for brass and woodwind. I can easily say that there's only 2 hours max on the bell end, and maybe the same on the slide. Half a day of work, and good to go
I feel for you. Goodbye, contrabass.
I have a question if you used a superbone bell section with the valves and connected a contrabass trombone slide section to it how low can you go?
Man I am so sorry
This deeply hurts me
This is heartbreaking
My dad fixes these things, pros send him their stuff all the time, including Gene Simmons at one point. This doesn't look too bad at all. Nothing needs to be ordered. Just desoldering, fixing the dents, putting it together, and lapping the slide.
I’ve never seen one of these trombones but why did one drop cause so much damage? I’m only in highschool and the instruments there are dropped quite frequently and they are fine. I probably sound ignorant but just curious.
No, not ignorant. My guess is a combination of the angle that it fell combined with the fact it was a cheap Chinese model. Probably made from low quality materials. The fact that it's a double slide doesn't help. It's one thing to fix the alignment on a normal slide (just getting two sections aligned). I would imagine getting the alignment right on the double configuration where it's four sections would make it much more difficult.
Why did it have to be my favorite of your trombones
it hurts. it hurts. I'm so sorry
Do you still have the comparison footage? Or was it shot out of chronological order?
I was wondering if he was gonna post the original footage before the fall
Yes, I'll be posting it at some point in the future. Been very busy in real life at the moment.
A moment of silence for our fallen comrade
😦😦😦 RIP
sorry for your loss man
You got some really bad advice. Talk to Jonathan at wessex music and he can order the parts that you need (they sell that instrument or one just like it) take the parts to your repair place and have them put it together, or better yet, find a new repair place. The one you have brushed you off because they didn't want to mess with it
R.I.P man, R.I.P
that breaks my heart to see
U must feel so much regret you poor thing! 😢😢😭😭😭
aww man that really sucks, I feel so sorry for you :-(
I'm really sorry about the trombone
do you still have the broken trombone today? or did you chuck it out?
edit: nevermind i saw your other video and found out it was fixed!! great job trent.
remember to hold your trombones with TWO hands next time.
Let's have a moment of silence for our lost comrade. *Tear*
I actually cried when I watched this.
Man that's a bummer
I never dropped my tenor or my bass trombone; I understand High School band kids doing it.
I dropped my tenor a couple months ago so glad there was no damage
Can it be fixed
as someone who works in instrument repair this is pretty horrible but not as bad as it looks . I'd probably quote you 250-300 american dollars for the repair. it would probably sound the same it might not look the same though.
I really can't keep my mouth closed.
When he dropped the trombone i almost stared crying
damn, son. rip contrabass trombone
This pains me greatly
This video makes me sad.
