I've listened to you play many various trombones in the last few years. You've never sounded better than on this horn. Up, down in the middle, doesn't matter. It fits you and how you play like a glove. I did a play test of a Yamaha 835GD and as much as I wanted to like it, it didn't work for me. The mids and lows were lovely, rich sound, great response. But the upper register closed off, not like the Shires Q36GR I compared it with. But to each his own. Going to try a Shires Bollinger Travel in two weeks and compare that to a Yamaha 835.
I’ve got a question. Is the Bach 6 1/2 AL an orchestra mouthpiece? I’ve got other mouthpieces but when I use the 6 1/2 AL my high notes just soar. I wanted to know because it definitely has a brighter tone, but I wanted to know whether or not it’s TOO bright, you know. As a player it definitely feels the best out of my mouthpieces. I just wanted to see if you had anything to say about it because I’m playing on a shires q-series with a gold brass bell and Thayer valve, which is absolutely an orchestral horn.
Great video! How would you compare the OD to the OR model? I'm looking to move on from my Bach 42, and you have used similar language to describe the playing experience. I tried the OR, loved it, but I've found the OD at a more friendly price point. Any/all thoughts appreciated!
So i own a 882GO and a 42BOR (the Sterling silver plus bell) so maybe i can comment a little. The 882OR is supposed to be somewhat bach-like iirc than the standard 882O. The OD is based on the standard 882O but cut bell. The OD is a narrower slide width than the 42 you are used to but it's by no means narrow. At least for me, the yamaha doesn't require as much air or force to play. Probably not the right words but you get it. The yamaha is easier to play and can hold notes longer because the bach tends to need more air or force to sustain notes. The OD will need less air than a 42 but more than a standard 882O because of added weight of rhe cut bell. Probably similar to the OR
Greenhoe has not had a lot of new innovations as of late; with that said we should have a cut-bell GB4 arriving soon and we will certainly get some feedback posted!
"I'm gonna be playing everything on my trusty Bach 5G" never gets old. Great playing, thanks for sharing your thoughts on this awesome horn!!

I had pondered adding a Yamaha large bore, but went with your Lake City Flugabone, which just arrived right on time for the long holiday weekend.
Well done and thank you for your videos, I would like to know what mouthpiece or mouthpiece gap you use when you switch from bass to tenor???
My usual tenor piece is a 5G (25.5mm) and my bass piece is a Hammond 19BL (27.23mm). I have issues playing anything too large or small…
what is the second song you played called
I bought the Yamaha 835 D and am very happy with it 👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💪🏻💪🏻I'm looking for a tenor to complement it and the 882OD seems great to me.
The 882OD is one of our favorites in the shop (and still available… :)
Have you guys considered getting some Rath trombones?

Seems yellow cut bell works better than gold brass. 835D looks like the best cut Xeno bell bass.
It is very balanced

@@NotSkilledHere The 882 OR is closer to the Bach 42 with the open leadpipe and the lightweight slide.
Can you give us an update with greenhoe
