Why, thank you. You're too kind. And I don't believe it for a minute :). That little bit took around a half hour just to get to that point. Not a practiced musician, clearly.
As a music instructor/hobby physicists/fellow tinker-er, I approve this message! Lol! I believe Nikola Tesla said that if we want to discover the secrets of the universe, we should think in terms of energy, frequency, and vibration.
Here's this week's video - Making musical instruments using drinking straws, an offshoot from research for my recent sound related videos. I show how to make reeds, explain how they work and then make a straw trombone and straw trumpet - and wow you with my playing talent :).
Isn't it mislabeling these a bit to call them a trombone and trumpet? You use a mouthpiece to buzz on those instruments, while reed instruments have... well, reeds.
There are a few suggestions for building marimbas Attend a school or self-study via an online course Make sure you are completely committed to it before you begin (I learned these and why they work from Delfords Magic Plan site )
with the end of the straw, you can make a high pitch sound from buzzing on the straw. try poking holes into it and it can make a trumpet flute highbred. .
Hello there, at around 0:47, when the compression wave reaches the open end, why it is "reflected back" to your mouth? I would expect it to escape to the surrounding.
The explanation is a little long, and hard to do without diagrams, in a comment so here's a link to a good explanation newt.phys.unsw.edu.au/jw/flutes.v.clarinets.html (skip down to the section called "Air motion animations"). You'll then wonder why it keeps going and that's explained in the parent page here newt.phys.unsw.edu.au/jw/fluteacoustics.html (your blowing into it keeps adding the energy.) I don't have the sources anymore for where I got my description for the reeds.
I read about a guy that invented a refrigeration method using sound. It was apparently so effective that instead of benefiting everyone with it he sold it to the military. Is there a simple way to demonstrate what he invented?
If a person doesn't have a dowel handy to cut the holes, sealing one end and filling it with water, then freezing, would give a solid platform to cut against. Takes more time but should work!
Elaine Kain Actually he might have been referring to my music playing. And the dowel was a little bit looser than I'd have liked and made it prone to making too big a cut; your ice trick would have worked better.
1st mistake Trombones and Trumpets don't use reeds, 2nd mistake they need a bell, 3rd mistake they can play both high and low, 4th mistake trumpets have only 3 valves, it's not a recorder. But overall cool
+Josh Ramirez 1st wow aren't you observant, 2nd they don't need a bell, all the bell does is amplify,3rd trumpets and trombones can play high and low, but trumpets can play higher, 4th trumpets can have 4 valves. but overall cool.
best tutorial ever thank you so much i was going to kill myself this morning until i thought about playing black diamond by kiss with a fuckin straw from a mcdonalds cup i had sitting in my car from a long night of smoking crack and binge eating i then stumbled upon this gem you changed my life i have found a true purpose
well, that was more like flute or clarinet to be exact. trumpet is a bundler of tubes, with valves, to alternate the paths. it has 3 valves with 3 loops. when button is not pressed, air goes trhoug the loop, when you press it it goes straight. i was forced to play trumpet for 7 years in my early days. permanent trauma.
Yeah, I guess more like a clarinet. A flute doesn't have a reed. I know that only because of my research when I tried to make a flute too out of a straw but didn't succeed.
RimstarOrg well, but clarinets have external valves to close eternal holes, unlike flute with fingers. but this would be clasified as wooden instrument (saxophones are wooden instruments, even thou made out of brass). the trauma haunts me.
It isn't easy. I had to try a few different types of straws. Try collecting them from different coffee shops, shopping mall food courts,... You need one where the two parts where you cut it to blow on don't separate too much. It takes a little experimenting.
HHAAA !! a Evil grandparent will send a link to grandkids ..hhhheee..do it on April 1st ,,even better !! Do people still use a wide blade of grass between thumbs and blow for a whistle anymore !! I'm from a pre-plastic generation,,but still a kid at heart now that the grands are big enough to use tools and be reasonable safe with skill learning projects on my summer list of things to do - whirlygigs to make and a garden to grow classes with granny ,,good for all us kids
"that wouldnt really be a trumpet....its only has three valves..... not nine" You just stated that this only has 3 valves and a real trumpet has 9. If you think im wroing youre grammer is wrong
3:37 - A truly magnificent performance.
Why, thank you. You're too kind. And I don't believe it for a minute :). That little bit took around a half hour just to get to that point. Not a practiced musician, clearly.
RimstarOrg Well, you can take pride in being the best straw trumpet player I've ever heard. You're also the first, but that's beside the point. :)
i used to do this when i was a kid about 40 years ago. you made me remember.
Wow :O
this person must 50 plus older noooww omg
i make these every time i go to starbucks

I didn't know better at the time and you can't go back and edit videos on UA-cam. I just changed the title.

i have been wanting something like this for some time, thanks for making this!
Cool! Glad I could help.
An absolutely brilliant video, fun, entertaining and informative, thanks!
Thanks! I made this last minute for a music project and it works great!
Really funny. the straw trumpet part is the best....really enjoyed it.
Playing that straw trumpet was the hardest part, so I'm glad to hear it was effective. :)
u saved me. I actually did my homewrok for once.

Very interesting
..thanks for the movie..God bless you
That's actually really cool

Madness.
Sorry, just my dad always said if things seemed too easy, a person could find a way to complicate them - he demonstrated this principle often! :)

...!
Lunacy!
Thought I'd pass this video on to my grandkids to drive their parents nuts!
That's more of a clarinet then a trumpet.
*trombone
*straw
Bryan Gray no the second one
Trombone dumb ass*
*oboe
What kind of musical instruments is that project in art grade 8
Awesome!
1st mistake Trombones and Trumpets don't use reeds, 2nd mistake they need a bell, 3rd mistake they can play both high and low, 4th mistake trumpets have only 3 valves, it's not a recorder. But overall cool

Chris TRUMPETS CAN ONLY HAVE 3 VALVES
Trumpets only have 3 values
Valves*
*cough cough* piccoloTrumpet *cough*
A trumpet and trombone don't use a reed
Yes but the way the trombone and the straw changed pitch is the same
Wait........ What? You mean sound travels at the speed of sound? 😳🤯
At the end of the video you could say thanks for farting
I put one in my trombone, and it sounds like a tromboon.
I want to make a Rackett using this now.
I did this instead of homework
other method: tape small to bigger straws about 8 of them and blow without sticking them to your mouth
Alright; who's gonna take one for the team play Fade by Allen Walker with a straw??
best tutorial ever thank you so much i was going to kill myself this morning until i thought about playing black diamond by kiss with a fuckin straw from a mcdonalds cup i had sitting in my car from a long night of smoking crack and binge eating i then stumbled upon this gem you changed my life i have found a true purpose
you're like Beethoven on that thing....
like a deaf musician... I agree :)
The straw trumpet is actually a straight clarinet
I play real trombone, my teacher will get a kick out of this.
But why?
Actually… the speed of a longitudinal sound wave at STP is only 313 m/s
The Blazin Asian I went by this one en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speed_of_sound.
The Blazin' Asian you must be fun at parties.
I don't know how it works

It’s a oboe not a trumpet
mine sounds like fart
did not work

Ah, so the blade of grass must act as a reed!? I hadn't thought of that. I was also never able to get that to work.
Dug mountain, got a mouse.. which is lame. ..uuuuu
Sksskssks
that wouldnt really be a trumpet....its only has three valves..... not nine
trumpets have 3 valves -_-
thats what i just said
no. you said that a trumpet has 9 valves.
no i didnt
you read it wrong
i play the trumpet i already know how many valves it fucking has
"that wouldnt really be a trumpet....its only has three valves..... not nine"
You just stated that this only has 3 valves and a real trumpet has 9. If you think im wroing youre grammer is wrong
I don't know how it works
