The key of C is very important for tuba players, most college programs require us to learn CC tuba. Although I would say it's safe to say they didn't include the key swap ability for this reason.
3:12 normally when a company says something does not require oil they are talking about within the amount of time they expect it to exist, i little oil comparable with the material never hurts and almost always can help make the thing last longer.
As someone who's played the trombone for 9+ years, now, the key of C is definitely an important key to be able to switch to. Baritones, Euphs, Tubas, and Trombones all play in it. I get that Bb and F are important for trumpets/horns, but the entire low brass section pretty much is in C.
Are you daft? He was saying the tuning slides would raise the instrument a whole tone such that the fundamental is C. This wouldn't suddenly make it not read concert pitch.
Rotary valves are interesting. Tuba players deal with it, especially with high school directors that just think more expensive = better. They take a lot of work to get articulations and timing right to actually play a rotary instrument correctly. Some people are lucky and don't have as much of an issue, but it may be that you just need to mess around with the timing of the whole system.
4:04 - Being able to put it in the key of C means anyone playing it can play straight from any sheet music for other Concert Pitch instruments used in primary schools instead of having to transpose. If you have a problem with instruments built to play at Concert Pitch, then you are part of the problem. Deal with it.
I’m a little confused by this. If the Bb crook sets the fundamental to Bb does that not just make it operate like Bb tuba, euphonium and trombone? All of which are non transposing C instruments with a fundamental of Bb. You can play any concert pitch music on these Bb fundamental instruments anyways.
4:39 ...he does know that Tuba, Euphonium, and Trombone, 3 of the 5 main brass instruments, are in the key of C... Right? And that none of the common brass instruments are in the key of Eb?
It's kind of complicated. Those instruments are in C when played in bass cleft, but their lowest fundamental pitch is still Bb, so using the C tubing on the jHorn would not translate. Also, I mentioned Eb because it's used in a lot of instruments in the British-style brass band, which is popular in Australia, New Zealand, and the UK (which is where Nuvo is based)
@@Bennim In Europe and especially in German compositions for brass bands, instruments such as Cornet in E flat, Bass in E flat and Euphonium in E flat are popular and available. In many classical and popular pieces there is a French horn in E flat. If the orchestra lacks these instruments, these parts are played by saxophones or eufonio/saxhorns. So you were right Bennim
close enough.. welcome back Trent Hamilton

lol.
Hope this wasnt meant to be anything bad.

It sounds like a beginner trombone player
Interesting to see a modern instrument using a version of the disc/plate valves
HE’S BACK
Great, funny review. I guess the idea is that beginner players sound so bad that it doesn't matter how bad the instrument is.

What kind of plastic is it made of, compared to a pbone? they should have used tribopolymers on the valves
very nice video thank you bennim
I agree with the C instrument thing, CC Tubas and C Trumpets are pretty much it when it comes to C brass in common use
Do you think adding a thin silicone or felt pad between the valve tops and the housing would help with the clicking?
I haven't tried it but it sounds like it would.
I would probably buy one of these as a joke but thats it
Wii U and jHorn fans, unite

So basically, the little bag is better than the instrument😂
The Jhorn
6:21 it sounds like a mellophone almost
I played one of these at the Georgia Music Educators Conference, worst mistake of my life dude. I was sick for like 2 weeks
The trumpet size could use improvements

Looks like macaroni casserole…
Sounds like a euphonium
maybe if you could play brass then you could play that beautiful plastic masterpiece

So you were right Bennim
I played euphonium and now I’m switching to tuba!
Yippee
The JHorn
Trumpet the cowards trombone
my brother in christ literally all of low brass is in C
It's the same Fingering as a Trumpet
Great review and you look like the blonde, American version of Freddie Highmore.
lol. I went straight to a euphonium then to tuba.
and…….
that’s the reason i play trumpet
Me when I sall the vid
"OMG ITS A FULLY BLACK PLASTIC EUPHONIUM ME MUST WATCH"
Yeah don't ask me why
Try saying "articulate particularly" 10 times fast
I got a (quality) trumpet for only $100 so this is not really for me :)
Euphoneum but cheap
Just buy a $100 mendini trumpet or a $200 eastar trombone.
