      A subcontrabass tuba would indeed be amazing
      en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subcontrabass_tuba

    • @gigabyte2248
      @gigabyte2248 2 года назад +1

      Subcontrabass tubas exist in the keys of Bb (an octave below a regular Bb contrabass) and also in Eb (a perfect fifth below a regular Bb contrabass). The ones in Bb are, as far as I can tell, basically just instrument-building stunts. There are a few videos of an Eb subcontrabass (you might call it an Eb sub-bass, if you follow the granular naming convention of recorders) which looks interesting, and I'd love to at least try an Eb subcontrabass one day.
      In my experience, the same rule that high brass players are limited by their lip and not the instrument (i.e. going from a Bb trumpet to a picc does not give you an extra octave of range) also applies in reverse to the ultra-low register. My lowest note is (sounding) F0, and I can (on a good day) play this on either an Eb or Bb tuba. On the Bb it sounds like a dirty, laboured pedal and on the Eb it just sounds like a flapping noise :P. Would it sound any better on an Eb subcontrabass? Maybe, but probably the thing I'd want to use an Eb subcontrabass for is the range from A0 or maybe G0 (in the pedal range of the Bb contrabass) up to around F1. On a Bb tuba, that range is hard work and very stuffy on compensating tubas, but an Eb subcontrabass might open it up and make it sound bigger.
      I highly doubt I could actually get an F0 out of an Eb subcontrabass (too much tubing, same problem as C1 on the compensating Bb) but I would be very interested to see if I could get an Eb0 out of an open instrument. That's too low to play on an Eb bass (at least in theory, I swear my Eb has a resonance peak below the pedal) and too much tube on the Bb contrabass. Go much lower than that and you need to start using weird extended techniques. Give Richard Bobo and his subcontrabassoon project a visit on RUclips and you'll hear him play notes all the way down to A-1 on his prototype subcontrabassoon and down to G-2 on one of his Frankenstein creations. Down in that register, the notes start to sound less like a note and more like a rapid beating (th-kh-th-kh-th-kh-th-kh-th-kh...). If I ever got my hands on a tuba that had a resonance down in that range, I'd like to try buzzing it with a rapid double-tonguing and see if it actually resonates (alas, I still can't flutter tongue, otherwise I'd try that in the B-1 to F0 range on the Bb contrabass).
      If you've every heard a cathedral organ recital or a brass band tuba section plumb those depths, you'll know that there is genuinely some richness of tone available down there. I'd love to try an Eb subcontrabass at something like a Christmas carol concert, playing in unison with the Bbs up util the final verse, then plunging to the abyssal depths to add some serious richness. Preferably with two Bbs above me, filling in the gap between Eb subcontrabass shenanigans and the actual bassline. I think you could achieve a hell of an effect, with a little help from a good acoustic.

Rotate the tube clockwise 90° and fashion a bell 81.4 mm long and 37.777mm in diameter then fashion a lead-pipe for the other port (on the left). Take special care to get the taper right and find the correct “gap”. Voila a Triple Pickle-O Trumpet!

  • @charleskleesattel6477
    @charleskleesattel6477 3 года назад +3

    As any trumpet player wanting a higher range finds as they experiment with a piccolo trumpet.... there is no free lunch. Regardless of the length of tubing, your lips must vibrate a the frequency of the note you wish to produce. So, if you want to play A-440 on a Bb trumpet, a French Horn, a tuba, or a piccolo trumpet (super or otherwise) your lips must vibrate at 440 Hz. It's just that way. Nice work Trent. Don't hurt yourself.

    • @CengalLut
      @CengalLut 3 года назад

      There's actually no study on the relationship between the frequency of the lip vibration and the frequency of the sound produced. Remember, playing A4 on the trumpet, you're not just producing the 440Hz wave, you also produce all the harmonics (880Hz, 1320Hz, ...). Also recall the demonstration where someone make a note sound from a tube and a torch. The velocity of the air from the torch is enough to induce vibration in the air column, you don't actually need a lip reed.

    So the point of piccolo trumpet is not to extend the range of Trumpets in the orchestra, but to make high passages on regular trumpet more easy to play being they are now an octave lower (as rarely does anyone play above an F or G on piccolo.). So I guess the point of this instrument is to make the job of a Big Band lead player easier by putting the notes of this in the range of Maynard Ferguson?

    You should create your own "Shew-Horn" like Bobby Shew plays.

    Basically the lowest useful partial is a high C on a regular trumpet meaning the tuning C partial is a double C on a regular trumpet. That is insane.

    Not that I could do much with it (I’m a somewhat new player who’s used to playing trombone), but now I do kind of want one.

    oh, i have head a half size piccolo trumpet in a brass concert in Berlin in the 1980/90s ... unfortunately don't remember the name of the quintet (?)
    They were very virtuos and comedian.
    The trumpeter of the mini trumpet got a rather red head but he could play on it very well. It was extremely tiny.

    Make a half size euphonium. And aldo a half size Eb trumpet. The Eb trumpet might work better. It woulf be the highest possibly working trumpet

      You could probably make a half size euphonium by rearranging the valve section of a flugelhorn like this guy did to a cornet ruclips.net/video/mLxiejdGHrI/видео.html

      You can theoretically make a Bb "Soprano" Euphonium by starting with an Alto Horn, removing all of the cylindrical tubing, and uhh...praying that replacing the leadpipe for a Flugelhorn leadpipe assembly leaves you with 4.5'. It won't sound as good as you imagine. Soprano timbre doesn't scale that large. You get something that sounds like contra-alto. Good strategy for making an instrument loud AF, though.

      @@instrumentalheadquarters7062 I think projects like this are really cool and a good learning opportunity in a great number of ways, but there's basically zero chance that you can make something like this be useful. At this length of tubing, the overall size is relatively big, so the resulting timbre will actually fight against the useful range (like a Flugelhorn or Bass Trombone). On the other hand, I don't doubt for a second that there are multiple players talented enough to play real music on an instrument in 1-1/8'Bb.

    Now create a trumpet that plays so high, that it is outside the audible range of human hearing. Best feature, you don't have to practice much, because no one can tell when you played a wrong note!
