The "subcontrabass" exist but is pretty much useless. At that kind of extreme low range humans lips simply can't vibrate slowly enough to produce a good pitch

@gigabyte2248

2 жыл бұрын

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 KZread 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.

Mr. Hamilton, wow! You’ve done it again. You’re a genius. However I am intrigued by the image at 2:28 on the left of the screen. Yes, the first valve . . . 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!

I skipped a minute by reflex then realised he's not making videos longer than needed. Nice! I subscribe.

I thought that, after all the film of you cutting up the horn, you were going to hold up just a mouthpiece and say, "Here is our super piccolo trumpet!"

I’ve been a trumpet player for 6 years and I’m able to cover about 4-5 octaves on a standard trumpet. I have been intrigued by the piccolo trumpet for about 3 years but have never got around to getting one. Now the Super-Piccolo intrigues me more

Hi, have you ever found an Eb alto trumpet or flugelhorn ? Apparently the standard alto horn is a saxhorn, so if I got it right, it should be somewhere between a cornet and flugelhorn in terms of conicity?

So what is the valve configuration? The valve slides look too long, do you have a 1st, 3rd and 4th valve in conventional terms or is it different to that?

I used to own a rotary "piccolo" trumpet in A, the catch was the proportions are the same as a full sized rotary trumpet, it was just as long as my hand. It was playable.

Well done for craziness but I have to be a wet blanket here and point out you should have left to flare on and cut off the bell instead. Just like the piccolo bell is smaller than the trumpet bell the bell for the super pic would have to be be smaller again. About 50-60mm. So you still have the flare right? so maybe put that on in place of your frakenbell and lets call her the MKII....cheers and don't even turn normal...

Next video: Hyper Piccolo Trumpet! 3 octaves above a standard Bb Trumpet!

Would you like a bell with your valves?

What's the name of the song you used during the construction

I want one so bad.

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?

Think I gotta write music for this absolutely beautiful sounding instrument. Might play easier with different mouthpiece configuration.

What's the beautiful piece played during the construction of this magnificent instrument?

Didn't King/HN White come up with a proportionately correct piccolo trumpet in F or something? About 60 years ago? I recall a video ....

James Morrison would love this

Not smooth inside bell area? Try creating some artificial rubber lips from balloons to hit notes above hearing range. Feed it with 100 psi air compressor. I bet the military will buy it

I am curious, what was the price paid for this highly specialized instrument?

"picolette trumpet" would be a very good name
