Axial Flow Valve Comparison
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 лип 2024
- We have received numerous requests to demonstrate some of the most popular valve types on the market today. In this video we talk about the axial flow valve and give the Eastman ETB829G axial flow large bore tenor a play against it’s rotary valve sibling, the ETB828G.
Keith, you’re doing AN EXCELLENT JOB with your demonstrations of different types of trombones, their techniques with different materials, and mouthpiece differentials. Your maintenance videos are extremely helpful as well and has enabled me to keep my trombones in top shape for extended periods of time!!! You have proven that trombone playing is fun and easy to play!!
Best,
John
Thanks for watching! I always strive to be a resource and feedback like yours helps me to know what the trombone community wants!
I wish videos like these were available when I was a young player. Your combined videos are just what a young player needs prior to purchasing gear, and how to approach the challenges that accompany each new instrument or accessory. Keep it up - there are lots of young players out there right now that need this guidance.
My Shires (10+ years old) has their Trubore valve, which is pretty peachy (IMO). Prior to purchasing my tenor Shires, I played on a Shires by Eastman with an axial valve. I liked the axial valve quite a bit, except that maintenance and cleaning wa like an open heart surgery. Stuff layed out on white towels all over the place. My wife thought I was nuts.
This is really great ! I am bass trombone shopping and haven't understood al the issues. I wish I could come to your marvellous store to try EVERYTHING!
Glad we could help! Please feel to reach out (tromboneshop@schmittmusic.com if you prefer email) if you have any particular questions we can answer!
I'm looking around at different professional tenor horns, and am searching for a dark broad open sound. I haven't been able to test many horns out just yet, but if you have any pointers, please let me know!
Thanks for the awesome content!
Thanks for the comment! There can be a lot of factors that can change what creates dark, broad sounds depending on the player. If you can I would recommend at the least trying a Conn 88H, Yamaha Xeno and Bach 42 as a starting point, the reason being that these take three different kinds of approaches (more resistance, less resistance, even less resistance) and they are fairly readily available at many music stores. Depending on which instrument provides the most aspects of what you are looking for that will provide valuable insight as to what other instruments may provide a similar or superior experience. As an aside we do offer an instrument trial program for players looking to find their next instrument; you can visit shop.schmittmusic.com/brass/trombone-low-brass/about/instrument-trials/ for more info or feel free to email at tromboneshop@schmittmusic.com
My first F-attachment was a bach prelude and then upgraded to a Shires Q-Series and can agree that a Thayer Valve horn sounds a lot more broader. At least for me, I feel a lot more comfortable with a Thayer valve trombone. What do you think of the Shires Q-Series w/ Thayer Valve?
Great videos by the way, great to see reviews about different horns! Keep it up! :)
Thanks for the feedback. I have been quite impressed with the Q Series tenor w/axial flow valve; for me they have a broad sound with a lot of character with great stability and response. IMHO they are one of the better options in their price range...
Schmitt Music Trombone Shop Thank you and I agree as well! I’ve had it for a few months and I just love the sound. Honestly, improving everyday.
Salvatore Quaratino, I just purchased my first Thayer valve trombone with a company called “Orion” at TMEA (2019), and quite frankly, it’s BY FAR THE BEST TROMBONE that I’ve ever played on!!! I find that all of the intervals slot extremely well (for me) on Thayer valve trombones, while lip slurs and 3 octave arpeggios are a breeze 😀
Best,
John
