Nice to see videos like these. I'm a composer and I am curious about how certain instruments like the contrabass trombone sound on their own. It reminds me of the time I attended a live performance of Schoenberg's Gurrelieder in the 1970's and the sight of the brass section alone was stunning. 10 horns (4 doubling on Wagner tubas), 6 trumpets, bass trumpet, alto trombone, 4 tenor-bass trombones, bass trombone, contrabass trombone, contrabass tuba. And the chord at the end of Part I -- wow what a sound.

I much prefer the tuba, but I think in particular pieces the contrabass trombone would be better. The tuba can make a really clean, soft, rich sound, but can also be a fun instrument, like in a polka. The trombone however seems to make a less clean sound, sort of in between a tuba and a contrabass bassoon. Therefore I think in certain pieces that could be very very cool. Nevertheless, they both are beautiful instruments; gotta love contrabass...

On mobile the low sounds get lost. (Without headphones that is) then the warmth of the tuba wins big time over the farty sound of the trombone. I think in order for the tuba to really excel, you need to play fnugg.

Bravo, Trent Hamilton. I was looking for confirmation that tuba and contrabass trombone (and cimbasso) have the same range, and you confirmed it. All lovers of super deep brass thunder should listen to "The Rains of Castamere". It's on Utube. Features over 40 top rate professionals from NYC: trombones, bass trombones, contrabass trombones, and tubas. It took five years to assemble the group for the recording, which may have only been possible in NY. OMG!

Not gonna lie that is the most beautiful tuba sound I’ve ever heard!

come on, I can hit that most of those notes on tuba, in the octave! jk, that sounded beautiful and I know you would curb-stomp me in any brass battle.

I may be a student with a trombone but always hold it with the slide closed and holding it firmly with both slide braces

I like the aggressive tone of the contrabass trombone.

I know that Roger Bobo had Miraphone make him a contra-bass trombone when he was playing in the L. A. Brass. He felt that in some of the music the trombone tone worked better with the trumpets and the tenor trombone. The tuba worked better in combination with groups that included the horn and the euphonium.

With the F attachment engaged each position has to be pulled out a little further (besides first position) in order to stay in tune. That tuba has a compensating valve system so it does it for him but since he didn't compensate himself with the trombone the notes were sharp.

From the scales, I deduced that the tuba was cleaner overall, but the contra bone was cleaner on the lower end

I cry every time

One of my most important instrumentation lessons occurred when I heard a student performance of Edgard Varèse's _Intégrales_, in which a tuba was substituted for the contrabass trombone. I was very familiar with the work, and so was quite alarmed at how the tuba didn't fit in at all. It wasn't just a question of the tuba being incapable of the trombone's slide glissandi so dear to Varèse. It was mostly in how dull, fat and unblending the tuba sounded in that context, and wound up sticking out like a sore thumb. Now, I don't at all mean this as a rejection of the tuba as an instrument. It is a beautiful and worthy instrument in its right. It just has a very particular -- and weighty -- role to play, which is very different from that of the contrabass trombone.

I'm not sure of others' experiences, but the music at 2:16 is written for trombone/baritone b.c. B-flat tuba music is written an octave lower. Some of those notes, as written, would require either a humming bird passing gas into the mouthpiece or your name is Dr. Charles Daellenbach. Also, as others have intimated, don't "Dizzy Gilespie" on the mouthpiece. Can do a lot of damage to your facial and neck muscles. Also, I played 3 years with a CB trombone mouthpiece for both sousaphone and tuba and I loved it so much better than the standard tuba mouthpiece.

The tuba sets the base upon which all the other instruments sit. Ya gotta love a tuba.

Gabriel's oboe sounds so much better from the tuba the tuba sounds so beautiful playing high notes

That's a huge bell for the trombone

Still want to see the reed trombone - and trumpet - with various mutes, especially harmon with stem...
