"In my continual strivance for minimalism"
he says whilst sitting in front of an enormous wall of obscure brass instruments
It's like saying you like hunting birds right in front of a stag head
He probably wants to minimalize anything that isn't directly related to his passion for brass instruments.

That low brass choir at the end felt like heaven after hearing that awful excuse of a cornet.
Cornet sounds tasty unless you know what it is. Like a cornish hen
@@okalright3941 Sounds like something Denis Wick might say!
Yea, I wish I knew the name of that piece
nvm it's custom
Oh yes. You finally achieved Heaven after all.
It's one of those things. I bet you never thought it'd be possible for an instrument to be worse than the tenor sousaphone, and yet here we are. The faces you make with the tenor sousaphone are absolutely priceless. Yet, somehow we find an instrument that is worse. I fear that this isn't the end, I fear that something worse exists.
Side note: My wallet just fell apart so I'm gonna try the Ridge Wallet.

Your comments made me laugh more than I have in weeks. It took me several minutes to recover enough to type this.Thank you very much for cheering me up!
It may come from a Chinese ghetto😮😮😮
That wallet was so good that Trent grew a beard for a few seconds
He stashed it away in the wallet afterwards
@@thetato1273 😂😂😂
THETATO127 Lol. You just made a bassoon fan laugh.
He also gained at least two stones in weight.
My neighbours put a complaint into the local council because I was laughing so loud at that cornet playing
😂😂😂
This was especially fun. The universe has conspired to bring us to this point: Created those instruments, given you the drive and ability to review them, and compelled you to edit the clips into this...thing. We may now retire to our home in the stars.
damn trent looks like he’s lost some weight, keep it up homie!
You mean beard :D
I agree.
That Taliban beard was worse than all three of those brass-shaped objects combined. Buy a razor for chrissakes.
@@BurnedDestroyerboth
I want to hear a brass section made up of all these "instruments".

Trent is the legit king of roasting. Convince me otherwise.
When I started watching this, I thought, well, they can't really be all that bad. I was wrong. This is hilarious!
A sponsor so good that it makes your beard grow, I'm sold
Hearing you play the Indian cornet reminds me of the times the kids in middle school band would trade instruments when they had a substitute teacher.
Sir, I can’t play a musical instrument to save my life, but thank you for a excellent laugh on that last “instrument “
Fascinating take on obscure brass that most of us mortals have never heard of let alone seen. Where do you manage to find these rarities? Your wall of brass is fascinating to say the least. Thank you Trent.
Wow! Congrats on the weight loss. Your looking great. I too lost 100lbs 2 years ago. You feel great, right? Well, it looks like you do. Kudos dude.
I have that same Sai cornet. I figured "it's only $100 and i only need it to teach one trumpet lesson per week so it will probably do..." it lasted less than a year before the metal had corroded/rusted enough that no amount of oil would let the valves or slides move to any functioning degree. I replaced it with the ACB doubler's cornet which although was 6x the price is easily 1000x the value. And it sounds like an actual brass instrument and is soooo much more enjoyable to play, look at, hold, and smell!
F for getting that cornet but I'm glad you got a much better one
Story time: Where I live we do a thing called All West where we audition to get into a "better band". I'm a junior in high school now, so I am able to audition for Symphony Orchestra. I was so excited until I saw the audition music... It called for a C trumpet. So I did the sensible thing and asked my director if I could use one. To my surprise, he didn't have one. So I decided to look for one on the internet. I finally find one that says "Bach C trumpet. Great condition" I looked at the description and images to see if it was legit... it did seem legit. I wait a few weeks for it to come in just to find a C trumpet case that says "Made in India" on it. I look inside and sure enough: "Sai Musical" was written on the bell. The valves were sticky, the slides didn't work, the tuning was horrible, and the valves were not the same length. Even one of the valve caps were crooked. Needless to say, my audition did not go well. :(
The moral of this tale is: learn to transpose.
@@owensmith7530 pretty much lol.
My favorite RUclipsr; never fails to make me chuckle while actually learning something. "Fun yet serious!"
Alternate Title: "SAI musical review"
ΣΑΙ ? LOL...
As a member of Sigma Alpha Iota International Music Fraternity and a trumpet player, I would personally like to sue that company for trademark infringement, and for making TSOs (trumpet-shaped objects).
Also, they must have gotten the initials for their company name: Seriously Appalling Instruments.
@@trumpetmom8924 AHAHAHAHAHAHA You mean "fun, yet serious....ly appalling?" XD
Surprised you had it in you to call them 'instruments' in the title.
Instruments of torture
well that cornet reminds me of a mail order trumpet i bought when i was in the 9th grade called a Meastro deluxe it was a cheap clone of a F E Olds Special. i paid $75 for it direct to my door. it came in a good Gladstone case and was a beautiful horn with it;s chrome trim. .then i tried to play it. i tuned it on a tuner but any note i fingered was either sharp or flat and the tone sounded like trying to play a cow horn, i bought it to march with as i did not want to use my good horn oe night after half time practice i drooped it 6 inches on soft grass and it crunched the bell almost an inch after a year the entire horn's finish turned into red rot 2 years in all the solder joints broke loose and the horn nearly fell apart when i attempted to fix the loose joints i found the lead pipe was full of holes. i later found out this brand was a product of a band instrument school that had an apprenticeship program in horn building and was built with inferior grade materials. what is worse is these horns were made in Elkhart Indiana.
I was reading reviews of tubas and sousaphones sold by eBay, and one purchaser of a sousaphone from India (i can't recall if it was the same company) was disappointed that the instrument he received played an octave higher, just like the one Trent reviewed in this video. When I was looking for an affordable trumpet and trombone, i decided it was best to purchase used instruments made by the well-known reputable companies instead of new ones from India or China. My trombone is a Conn Director, and my trumpet is a Blessing B-125.
All of my brass instruments are Yamaha, I just think they play the nicest out of all and I get then pretty cheap
@@bucketofham8470May I ask how to acquire Yamaha brass cheaply? The auctions blow up if it's in good shape.
Well, looks like someone has lost weight!
I was thinking the exact same thing, looks extremely healthy
Yes, he’s a handsome Devil isn’t he!
@@lkj974 yesssirr
Oh gawd I'd forgotten about that sousaphone-shaped lump of mangled lower intestines. I've never heard a scale played with as much "artistically nuanced harmonic fluidity" before or, thankfully, since. However I have to agree about the number 1 slot. I always wondered what blowing up an angry mosquito's arse would sound like. Now I know.
Such a shame that the aerodynamically contoured bell on the infamous bugle simulator didn't feature, but we can't have everything.
That cornet sounded like someone giving a cat a hernia operation
Imagine when well meaning but financially unsound parents buy these .. things .. for their kids. How completely negative the experience must be. Almost a perfect way to ensure your child gives up on music completely. Everyone, warn all the people you know not to buy ANYTHING from India off eBay (or similar scam sites).
i havent watched you in around a year, Trent, and i'm proud of your weight loss!! 🙏🙏👊👊👍👍👍
I got a cheap $100 madini trumpet from Amazon (it is actually a teal blue color) and it is playable and works pretty well. I feel so spoiled after seeing these!
We need a brass quintet multitrack with all of these plus the frumpet and the plastic trombone
The recorder seems like a god-like instrument now.
it always was
the face you made at 4:22 made me laugh out loud...
Wow! the weight loss is amazing, looking good and hope you're doing well. Great video, that last one killed me lol
I therefore conclude that years ago, wherever the cornet mouthpiece was dumped in, a bat had the misfortune of landing in a nearby tree where the mouthpiece rests, flew to China, and the rest is history.
You give an orchestral player the cheapest cornet to relive that middle school band nostalgia
my mother used to quote her father ( my grandpa I never had the chance to know): "girls, buy expensive shoes. we don't have the money to afford cheap ones."
I haven’t watched your videos in a bit Mr Hamilton, but you’re lookin great! Loved the video!
haven't watched you in a while, looking amazing bro!
This made me laugh a lot. You need to do more reviews.
That face at 04:21 says everything Trent is thinking at that exact moment.
The microtonal mini sousaphone is truly something else.
A ~9' length of copper pipe, into which a trombone mouthpiece has been malleted, will play a beautiful Bb harmonic series. How did they f'ck up that (tenor?) Sousaphone so badly? They would have to try! No?
Wow that cornet is such a thing of wonder. Like you wonder who on earth would buy it
I bought a Sai Musicals 'euphonium' a couple years ago, and I have mixed feelings about it. It's only a three-valved instrument, so maybe it is more of a baritone than a euphonium. In any case, I like the sound of it (actually better than my Conn 14i baritone), but I dislike several other factors:
1) The second valve is slightly flat, but I can 'lip' up sufficiently, so it's not a 'deal breaker'.
2) Those six-sided valve buttons are rather annoying--what were they thinking?
3) The sides of main tuning slide have to be pushed outward to allow it to go into back into the instrument due to misalignment of the slide.
4) The valve button travel is quite long, and requires more force than any of my other valved brass instruments.
5) The mouthpiece that came with it was bare brass, and didn't sound as well as my Bach trombone mouthpiece.
6) The WORST problem is that the pistons get stuck in the cylinders, and require almost daily oiling to get them to work. There was a statement that came with it that said they shouldn't be oiled, but when I emailed the company asking why it shouldn't be and what should I do instead, I received no response. The pistons appear to be bare brass, and after they started getting dark, I used some brass polish and found that the brass was only "skin-deep" with gray metal underneath. After oiling them afterwards, they worked well, but a few days later one is getting sluggish.
Oh, and yes, the soft case it came in also had a strange smell. Taking it outside one every sunny day for a week got rid of most of it.
I met someone (the person I mentioned in another comment) who had bought one of those skinny Bb (not BBb) sousaphones for about $600, and the intonation was absolutely horrible--thus I consider myself 'lucky'' at least in that regard. However, I don't believe I would want to get another Sai Musicals instrument, or recommend it to anyone. You can get a used brand name instrument off eBay or Reverb for about the same price (in my case, $287).
Would love to see a video which features all of these instruments in a multitrack recording
No, no, no!
So, what I'm getting is Sai Musical is a GOOD brand, right? I may have misheard
For those of you that don’t know he has a video of him playing the entire Arban’s variations on the carnival of Venice on that Cornet
I can hardly wait to experience the musical pleasure....
Hope this helps the algorithm
I bought a $200 nickel flugelhorn from Sai Musical some years ago completely aware it was going to be shit, but I was willing to burn the money. The case smelled horrendous like your cornet's. No amount of valve oil could get the valves to move fluidly. The instrument is pretty out of tune in general, but its 4th valve (which was advertised as putting it in F) is so out of tune that it's like halfway between F# and G. The slide wasn't long enough to play an F, so the only solution was to pull the slide all the way so it could be "usable" enough as a Gb valve, but the slide just falls out of the instrument when you play. This is all not to mention it came with the shallowest mouthpiece I've ever seen which defeats the purpose of a flugel by making it sound like a trumpet. Guess it's kinda what you get for such a cheap horn
Funniest video I've seen in quite awhile. Thanks for the laugh.
I forget how bad that cornet is.
Great vid trend...or bad. Just wondering what baritone is on the bottom of your wall?
Wonderful video. I much enjoyed it!
That cornet was fantastic. I want to hear more of it.
Hope you plan on sharing with us your weight loss plan. You're looking amazing!
Hi Trent!! Also what do you think of Copper instruments? I heard that they can sound different that brass, and I am a little confused.
While I have never played a copper horn as such, I do have a red brass straight soprano saxophone (85% copper and 15% zinc) and a bronze Yanagisawa AWO2 alto sax (84% copper, 15% tin and 1% other metal). While they are not pure copper, I have noticed the more copper the instrument has, the heavier it feels and the more resistance you get compared to standard yellow brass which is 80% copper to 30% zinc.
The bronze alto for me has more weight over brass version the AWO1 and that makes the sound a bit darker but also more rich sounding if a bit duller as the sound less vibrant. The red brass of the straight soprano is a bit more vibrant and a little brighter sounding but I find the sound is less flexible. So overall, I think the more copper the horn has, the heavier it will feel and the more resistance it will have to play which will give a darker tone but the sound will be more richer than standard brass or brass with silver plating which are usually a bit brighter sounding.
@@DynamixWarePro Exactly! I do play a Conn Copper Trombone, not sure of how much, but it IS more copper than regular, Thank you for the help, I appreciate it!! Also my Cg conn does sound amazing for like a Jazz style, or the super high notes and that's what I love about the copper addition. Thank you Dave!!😎
Have you ever sang barbershop? I know it’s popular in New Zealand
No, I prefer to sing bass, but I lose all volume below F2. And I’ve never trained my ear enough to do barbershop properly.
Your colorful choice of words made listening to this much more bearable.
Hi. I just realised your in nz which is really cool. I’m in nz and wanting to buy my first single rotor bass trombone. (Previously played school instruments) do you know a really good place to get them?
Those are not instruments, they are a waste or resources. I knew that cornet would be here, I remembered you mentioning the smell in that video as soon as I saw the video title. The abomination of a sound it had almost ruined the Carnival of Venice for me, and its my favourite classical piece of music. However, I was amazed and found it hilarious you were even able to play that with it and I could tell what it was you were playing.
That cornet brings to mind Florence Foster Jenkins' Queen of the Night aria
I love your continuity beard for the advertising...
Oh you get my vote for the Harry Potter reference!!!!!
I have very similar cornet like you have reviewed. I think I'm going to make a clock out of it with a hydraulic press.. :D
My cat had the unfortunate displeasure of walking into my room right before the cornet demo
that cornet sounds amazing bro. that'd be great for some brass noise music
Little Johnnie failed music class. Parents were stunned, they paid $50 for the trumpet after all!
0:37 HE GREW A BEARD IN LESS THAN A SECOND! ITS AMAZING!
What's the first song played on the trumpet?
Don't think that Cornet should have been included in this lineup... doesn't quite get up to the standard of "instrument".
Looking great Trent. I hope you feel well also.
At least you can easily play any song in an ultra depressed minor key without even trying
I still don't understand how you only have 75k subs, I feel like every brass player I know knows you
Laughing convulsively, that was absolutely TOP!!
I can imagine seeing some brass instruments hanging your wall flattened with a steam roller... brass art....
Hello! What´s the same of the first song you play in the video? The question has been nagging me for days!
The perfect pitch on disgusting cheaply made horns.....
Trent, you're looking very well today. Shorter beard probably seems younger or something.
Oh god that cornet needs to be put to rest.
Trent, looking absolutely amazing!
Loving the DEG G soprano on the wall.
We at SAI Musical, Inc, LTD, LLC, LMNOP, thank Trent for this sponsored review video. We are full of awareness and brim with enjoyment at his use of ironicism that is so well-wielded by members of the British-influenced countries. Well done, Trent, and well worth the most generous fee.
Plastic trumpets at toys r us are better than that cornet
Toys r us?!?!
... I thought for sure the Frumpet would be on here. At least you could PLAY the thing!
You need to do a piece on a contrabass bugle/marching tuba
They’re impossible to find in New Zealand
@@TrentHamilton Yeah....kinda figured that. If you ever travel to Japan, the US, or some countries in Europe, they're there in drum corps, tho.
Love my scooter, made in India.
String instruments are their trademark. Or snake charming clarinets:)
You look fantastic! Well done!
The last instrument sounded like me when I put my trumpet mouthpiece into my tuba
06:35 LOL :D
God that cornet sounds like my first attempt at whistling in kindergarten
2:40 what is the piece called?
I was wondering too
What was that cornet?
You can see the light leaving his eyes each time. It hurts to watch.
"kissing a dementor" haaahaha expecto better trumpet!
That coronet. Man alive. Flight of the bumble bee, but the bee has asthma
Lookin' well, Trent!
4:10 is hilarious. It sounds like most of the problem is the first valve slide is too long. 6:28 , the manufacturer needs to be called out and boycotted. I bought a cheap euphonium from a German manufacturer that seemed to have a similar problem, although, not as bad as this. It looked beautiful but it didn't play very well at all.
Damn trent looking slim and trim
So, I can I get them on eBay ?
4:23 you know somethings wrong with that sousaphone when I can play better on a euphonium (I'm not very good)
