    This tune was really fun to work up. I enjoyed the challenge of playing it on contra, but it is very playable on most other low brass instruments. Visit the composer's website to pick it up.

      Hi Chuck! I have a question. I was wondering what kind of mouthpiece did you use to play this piece and what are its measurements? Eventually I would like to buy a contrabass trombone and play this piece but I want to make sure that I get a big enough mouthpiece for it.

    • @Chuckplaysthetrombone

      So I’m playing a Greg Black piece with a narrower throat (.316) and custom back-bore (#2) on his standard contra mouthpiece and rim and cup. All my Greg Black mouthpieces for all my horns use a smaller-than-standard throat and back-bore setup like that. Doug Elliot mouthpieces may be the way to go if you want to be flexible and experiment. Sorry to take so long to respond!

    Wow! I had never heard or even heard of a contrabass bone till today, this recording gave me a great sense of it's power and voice. It really excels when you are playing lines with longer note values, such a powerful presence that can range from stern and round to violent and commanding. Makes me really want to write for it! I could imagine a duet between this and a tuba being really great, almost like a call and response argument between the two, the tuba trying to be the calm voice of reason, a grounding force, and the contra bone being ready to risk it all for its own ambitions.

      You should check out Ben Van Dijk’s UA-cam page for more videos of great contra playing.

      At that point I was using a custom Greg Black Contra Mouthpiece. These days I'm using a Thein.

    What kind of contrabass trombone is that? The grip for the left hand looks interesting I haven’t seen something like that before

    • @Chuckplaysthetrombone
      @Chuckplaysthetrombone  2 роки тому +3

      It’s a 1950s German Contra that’s had some work done on it to make it more playable. That grip is called the Haynor grip that had a brief following in the 80s.

      That is an old German Contra from the 50s made by Küh. I’m thinking about selling it since I have the new Thein. Max Thein actually copied this maker when developing his Kontra.

    tone sounds like a bit of a wet fart
    its an F Contrabass, it should have a big trombone sound
    albeit, its hard(ish) to play, so i guess thats fine

      This isn't just any fart, this is a fart so powerful it tears a hole in both your ass and the space time continuum, leaving you to be spaghettified from the black hole formed within your rectum.
