+Michael Mansourati, the Eb bass played in this video is not really a tuba, at least not by today's definition of the word. The organology of brass instruments has flugelhorns, euphoniums and the modern tuba grouped together in a family (wide conical bore, dark full sound), and the trumpets, tenorhorns, bass cimbassos, and even trombones grouped together (narrow cylindrical bore, focused bright sound). The (French) horns are in their own group by themselves. What about the cornet then....it is the soprano member of the Saxhorn group (medium conical bore, mellow sound), which these days only includes that Bb cornet.....the other members of the group have disappeared in modern use, but going back to the late 1800s practically all brass instruments used in America, except for the orchestra, were in the Saxhorn group. That is why Civil War bands are comprised exclusively of Saxhorns in their various sizes...Eb cornet, Bb cornet, Eb alto, Bb tenor, Bb baritone/bass, Eb bass (sometimes called Eb tuba for short, but incorrectly).

I'm the narrator in this video. I was trained as a French hornist. I play trumpet and its associated doubles, horn, and valve trombone for a living. I'm the first to admit that I'm not a tuba player or a drummer. Showing off chops was not the point of this video, it was to give a basic overview of the instruments used in Civil War brass bands. In my Civil War band and several others, I play Eb soprano cornet (including in the recorded band tracks in this video.) Since everyone's a critic, how about all the drummers and tubists who are carping about my drumming and tuba playing post some videos of themselves playing the solo Eb cornet part, on Civil War rotary valve cornet, from the 26th NC Regiment Band's version of Donizetti's "Tu Che A Dio", or the solo Eb part from the 26th's arrangement of Verdi's "Trovatore Quickstep", and THEN you can make fun of my tuba and snare drum playing. Being a critic is easy. Actually doing the thing is much harder.

The over the shoulder cornet reminds me of the top part of a trombone. Like if you just stuck your mouthpiece in the part with the bell and set the slide aside.

If you got a bunch of spare money you can get a Wessex Eb Bass Saxhorn/Tuba that is over the shoulder like that, it converts from shoulder to upright too so you could actually use it mostly normally.

My great-grandfather was a 17 year old drum major (musician) with the New York 104th in the Civil War. When I was in the Navy from 1958-1962 I was also a rated musician, playing trombone in Washington, DC and the former aircraft carrier Forrestal around the Mediterranean. I also agree this instrumentalist has beautiful tone and excellent technique.

Outstanding! 😳

Nice demo!

Very good man!!

I love the history of musical instruments

As a lifelong Bb Trumpet student, I had the interesting pleasure of playing some of these older horns once from the 1850's-through circa 1930-the Cornets & later Trumpets pitched in Bb were considerably smaller in terms of bore and bell size-(one Trumpet MPC receiver couldn't fit a modern era MPC in it) the bell flairs were barely 4" and with a really shallow cup were bright as the Sun and easy to play "upstairs" on however, modern era Trumpets (1940's-Current) are louder due to larger bore and bell sizes, flairs, etc. The MPC's from back then were virtually bird baths though and not comfortable to play on.

Wow♡ Thank you for this♡♡♡♡

+nworb ekim As a person who has access to many OTS instruments, and as a tuba player (and the Eb bass Saxhorn is not really a 'tubea' by today's definition) I have come to realize that many of them are not playing at their best because they are worn out or just plain broken in some way. People have a tendency to get an old Eb bass from the Civil War period, and if the valves work they assume all is well. When I bought my first one, it seemed to work and play pretty well, and other experienced players thought it played well too. But I had it gone over thoroughly by a qualified brass repair person, and he found MANY small leaks and micro-cracks in the brass, and the valves had lots of air slipping past them. After an extensive and expensive set of leak remediation treatments/repairs, it was amazing how much better, and in tune, it played. I think few such instruments get this degree of attention. But even then, any bass Saxhorn sounds pretty thin and feeble by comparison to the true tubas that we are familiar with these days.

For those of you asking what the tunes are, here you go: 0:10: "Aria: Tu Che A Deo” - from Donizetti's "Lucia Di Lammermoor”, arr. 26th NC Regiment Band 0:58: “Skyrockets (7th Regiment Drum Corps Quickstep)” - Claudio Grafulla 1:20: “Polonaise: The Last Rose of Summer” - W.V.

So you all watch a free video by an expert and versatile musician, which tells us a lot about civil war music, and all you can do is complain about his drumming, which is probably authentic for the times, and his cameraman, who just may be a little shaky at one point. You all need to go back in time, serve in either side in the Civil War, experience a little hell on earth, and man up.

Is it the case that Eb alto (called tenor in the UK) horns are rare in America? Piston versions of the first three instruments are in every town brass band in the UK.

What's the tune he plays on the small over the shoulder instrument?? I've heard it before I just can't think of the name! Very catchy and happy

His drumming holds up a lot better than my horn playing.
