Stay *tuned* for Part 2!
*tubad* he couldn't get more done this episode
It'll be *major*
No

I usually reserve the like button for when it is truly earned, but now I think I'll hit like whenever you use that intro theme. Because that truly deserves it.
Luggage how did you comment 5 days ago
Wtf, 5 days ago?
Patreon supporters get early access to videos.
A good effort so far. Hopefully replacing the spring is a 1 minute job. The other valve will be a bit more difficult. That oxide has done a good job preseving it but it is time it went.
Trent, my man! I'm loving the aesthetic of the new room setup behind you, very professional.
I have a Martin alto saxophone from 1927, I love a vintage instrument :D
I have an Alto Saxophone. it isn't vintage, it's just shit condition.
I love this kind of stuff
I love your videos, good luck with this project!
This is great. Keep it going, Trent!
This is amazing and you've always been a big inspiration Trent. I've just bought one of those cheap, rusty old British bugles off from Ebay, to kind of start my little collection of old and gross brasswind instruments. It would be really cool to be able to one day fill a wall with these kind of beauties. Always on the lookout for people stupid enough trying to throw away an old, rusty, gross, unplayable tuba lol.
Very nice, nice n short video. Entertaining and not too long. Keep up the fun work!
Wow! I've got a tuba almost exactly this one (time made, brand etc.. ). Its been sat in a corner for ages and id LOVE to restore it! What put me off last time is not the ridiculous amount of soldering it needs but the fact that the smallest slide (for the second valve) is missing! Money is not a massive issue, but i really cant see a way to fix this! I think the tuba was a prototype.
That looks so cool! Hey, when's the next multi track going to come out?
What is your most a favorite instrument In you're collection?? Trent
Are you going to try the electrolysis method to get rid of the tarnish? A little difficult with such a big thing but it works a treat and saves a lot of elbow grease.
nice
I just found out that my crappy middle school band has some good tubas a few days ago. Idk how but we have TWO three valve compensating besson recording tubas. But one has the handle area solder broken off.
Nice video Trent! I've always wondered about dent removal using that method and it was pretty informative. Not related to the video but I was wondering if you could do a review of the Wedge mouthpieces? I've been hearing pretty good things about them but all the videos I have watched never really explains what makes it better than most traditional ones.
Matthew Mitchell My understanding is that the wedge mouthpiece are contoured to fit your face. This is supposed to make it easier to have an airtight seal at the corners of your mouth than on a triditional flat rim. It probably doesnt make much a difference for high brass players, but I'm sure it would make more of a difference on a larger euph piece or tuba
Nice new intro what software did you use to create it @trenthamilton
How does a three valve compensating horn work?
Where can I get a cheap and effective ball and magnet?
Oh my God we don't care if your first or second you walnuts.
Also can you circular breathe Trent? I just learned today and I was wondering how many others can.
Trent can circular breathe. I think he made a video on it. I can also circular breathe, but not very well.
Weaboo Trash Oh alright, is 6th grade a little to early to start learning how to circlular breathe?
No. You can learn to circular breathe as long as you have the basics of breathing done.
Evan Slack twenty-sixth
I’m in 8th grade, but I learned how to circular breathe in 7th.
When is part 2?
Can you play b flat major gatti on it?
Treat me like one of Trent’s instruments
What happened to your right ring finger?
Just a random question, but how would I go about finding a good, cheap Bb tuba to get started on?
No such instrument exists. You need to spend at least £1000 ($1000?) on a tuba or you'll be fighting it for every single note. Look for second-hand instruments around this price range - it's not worth buying new; it won't get you a better instrument and it will have depreciated greatly by the time you upgrade. If possible, buy and inspect in person and, if you can, inspect the valves (they're the most important bit). Unscrew the casing at the top and slide the valve out - it should be metal finish, without any corrosion (brown or tan-coloured spots) and ideally without any streaks or wear marks. Once the valves are back in, pull out the slides - ideally they will move silently and smoothly and make a clean, crisp *pop* sound when they come out, which means the seal is good, but you should at least not hear too much hissing as they move. Finish is not too important but check that there aren't any big dents, particularly on the middle-thickness tubes, as these make the instrument more difficult to blow.
Or, join a band that can lend you one and give you tuition/guidance!
What exactly differentiates a tenor tuba from a euphonium?
The name is the only difference if I'm not mistaking
nothing differates that me and my friend like to joke about playing concertbass tuba and tenor tuba
TheZomIBeBeast The jokes relevant too since Eb and F tubas are considered "bass tubas" while BBb and CC are considered "contrabass tubas"
when we talk about tubas we say tubas unless we are talking about anything thats not a BBb tuba since the only tuba we have at our school is a BBb tuba
Tenor tubas and euphoniums are the exact same thing, however, euphoniums marketed as "tenor tubas" tend to be built more like tubas, and they are made for orchestral use. Tenor tubas marketed as "euphoniums" are just your standard band/brass band euph, with the distinctive "euphonium" build to it. Really the differences are very minute.
Tubas dent and ding if you look at them funny. It's not often I've seen one that didn't look like it had been thrown down a flight of stairs... right into a pool of acid.
Can you do a review of a real sousaphone
Almost like vintage six million dollar man special effects starting at about 3:00;)
It needs a recolor
Has anyone attempted to make a “slide” tuba?
Perhaps a wide slide, and shorter slide positions would make it possible?
Making a wide slide wouldn't result in shorter slide positions, because the difference in tube length between each position is independent from crook length. If you push out x cm, the tube length will increase by 2x cm (or 4, if you have a double slide). It doesn't matter how long the slide crook is.
And it'd be pretty impractical. Even the weight alone would make it a nightmare.
And again at 4:55!
Dude what happened to your finger? It looks all torn up
You sounded so sad in this video. I don't think I heard a single joke. I hope everything is alright.
The size of this tuba must be compensating for something.
I know, it's a stupid pun.
I like it
Wait a minute Trent; stainless steel has no steel in it and is not attracted by magnets. What's up with that?
Non magnetic stainless steel does exist, it’s not entirely non magnetic, just has a comparatively week attraction to magnets.

Hi****
It need to be polished
Baritone Saxophone Don't let yourself get used as a bass instrument
