The sax sounds like a beginner middle school trombonist
Let’s l
Lol
Bold of you to assume they're that good at playing.
I as a volunteer beginners student I can conform
Thanks. I’m a middle school trombone player and one of the best in my state
Wow, it sounds like a saxophone. If a saxophone had a trombone mouthpiece
Ya i wonder why. Lmao
I think it sounds more like a trombone, if a trombone had keys.
@game Soares oh, why thank you!
Funny how that works
Yah
Well here are a few suggestions
- Trombone with violin bow
- Violin with glockenspiel mellet
- Glockenspiel with tuba mouthpiece
- Tuba with piano hammer
- Piano with organ wind
- Organ with guitar plectrum
- Guitar with oboe reed
- Oboe with double bass bow
- Double bass with a crash cymbal
Reloup don’t forget trumpet with guitar pick
yes. yes. yes. yes. yes. yes. yes. yes. yes. yes. yes. yes. yes. yes. yes. yes. yes. yes. yes. yes.
The Mallet works with all instruments!
Trombone with violin, you gotta use the tuning slide like a bow.
How do you even-
2:20 “This, is a bass trombone, with a tenor sax mouthpiece on the end.”
*[Bass boosted noise intensifies]*
What if he's just a band teacher with extra time, and a student walks in and sees him and he just looks at them, covers the saxophlute and screams "OH GOD NO, YOU CANT SEE ME LIKE THIS"
Dream Weaver XD 👏🏻
Dream Weaver Hide your slide, hide your bell, hide your TROMBONE!
This is...... quite weird to witness..... as a trombone player myself.
Yes
Hahahahahahaahhaha
im the newest reply
I want to see a tuba mouthpiece on a piccolo.
ive put my friends tuba one on one and it sounds like a mega kazoo
Hazen Stribling I HAVE A PICCOLO AND A TROMBONE MOUTHPICE
i need to find myself a tuba mouthpiece, this is going to be interesting

“Ok I’m gonna play the trombone now” **farts** “OoOoHh”
I read this as it happened lol
trombone sounds like my lawn tractor
Errol Husaberg it sounds like a wet fart
Or you know.. Just a normal contrabass clarinet..
as a trombone player, this makes me uncomfortable.
Agreed
Chris Hansen As a sax player, this made me extremely uncomfortable
As a percussionist I find this slightly disturbing.
as a tuba player this is funny as hell
Chris Hansen as a Saxophone player, I find this disturbing >•
Saxobone sounds like a bad bass drop but it's still hella cool that he did these mouthpiece mashups
Hah. This was literally the first thing I did with my brass and woodwind instruments. Trent makes the sax with the brass mouthpiece sound way better than I was able to
2:27 IN A WORLD...
😂
😂😂
i knew i wasn't the only one lmao
Where a trombone...
With a reed...
Meets a sax...
With a brass mouthpiece...
I WAS THINKING THE SAME THING OMG 😂

The Trombone Sounds Like One Of Those Action Movie Trailers
The more appropriate brass mouthpiece for the Bb Clarinet (which has 1st registry root Eb3 and 2nd registry root Bb4) is the french-horn mouthpiece of 16,5mm or the alto Eb3 horn mouthpiece of 20mm, but better the French horn mouthpiece which is good for the clarinet in both octaves the lower and the higher.
has anyone tried a sax mouthpiece on a clarinet. did it sound 'saxier'
Yes. And flat.
A clarinet and saxophone mouthpiece are the same thing
They aren't they are different sizes
Also, on the clarinet mouthpiece you have some cork while on any sax mouthpiece you do not
kevin mullan I've done a bari sax on a bass clarinet and it was ummm.. awesome
The trombone mouthpiece sax looked way more playable than expected... it's basically a tenor ophicleide!
Indeed. It sounds quite similar to the ophicleide.
PDQ Bach used a bassoon Reed and crook in a trombone quite successfully during the 1960s. In that instance it was dubbed the "Tromboon". The sax with the trombone mouthpiece basically recreated the Ophecleide, and sounded a bit like one. Overall, an interesting experiment. Thanks for posting.

Out of all songs, he chose pizza time.
😂 😂
Try playing a trombone with piano keys
Frederik Marohn I don't see how that is even close to being possible.. I play the trombone and piano and I can't even imagine them being combined 😂
xoPubsubox it's a joke...
so many people don't understand jokes/sarcasm
I had the wrong keys so I couldn't unlock my piano to try on my horn.
ッ p i n k s u g a r he’s joking you fucking idiot
I'm a saxophonist, and I'm also surprised that the reed didn't work with the trombone. You know what would be really cool to try, though? Try an oboe or bassoon with brass mouthpieces and vice-versa.
Addy Norman I've tried a video with a bassoon reed - check out my video on the tromboon.
Addy Norman I've played my french horn with a bassoon reed and it works surprisingly well
+Addy Norman Try a cornetto/zink then !
I can only assume it's because the trombone is too long for a tenor sax reed to vibrate properly. I'd like to see if you used a bigger sax mouthpiece, like bari sax, on a shorter trombone, like alto trombone, if that would work better
You're saxist!
There is another conclusion that one might draw, which is that the mouthpiece of an instrument is designed to the range of frequencies that the instrument typically plays. If you're going to try mixing the mouthpieces among brass, woodwinds and flutes, try to match the instrument with the mouthpiece of an instrument from the other family that is capable of the same range of notes.

Musical instruments from Hell! Very instructive: now we know why woodwinds have reeds and brass instruments have mouthpieces.
When he says "sax" it sounds like he says sex
now try playing a euphonium with a drumstick
Alex Johnson no that is s baritone torture
Gosh no please, my section gets torn apart enough. With stupid different shanks/boars, fourth valves that can mess literally anything up sometimes (it’s happened to me), once a newbie DROPPED A TUNING SLIDE DOWN THE BELL and we had to take it to the shop, paper got stuck in one once, and sometimes the tuning slides just fall out! Once someone got a trombone slide stuck in a euphonium...
It’s always my section...
Kikster .T What’s the difference between euphonium and baritone?
Ah, it’s really just how it sounds and how it’s made. The cone and tubing thickness is different and the shape of the cone is different. However it doesn’t really matter if they’re lumped in a section together; they’re basically the same instrument. It’s kind of like a silver brass instrument vs a gold brass instrument, etc.
Kikster .T oh. I’m pretty sure my director calls a section the baritones yet they are playing euphoniums.
Flut-o-sax? I was thinking Saxophlute.

This Video is pleasurable to my band sense. I love you for this, Bro
Last year, me and some other members of my jazz band messed around with stuff like this, and we had some pretty interesting results. A bari sax mouthpiece on a tuba was one of my favorites, along with an alto mouthpiece on a trombone slide. We also tried an alto mouthpiece on a trumpet and it worked surprisingly well. And we even tried to play a pipe as a brass instrument. All great fun :)
The "saxobone" (trombophone?) actually sounded pretty good.
There was a reference to the "trombophone" in an episode of The Banana Splits Show...
Trombonophone
the bass trombone with the tenor sax mouthpiece made me crack up for some reason xD
Raymond Alcantara sounds like a car motor that won't start
Love the experimenting. This is really interesting as particularly with the baritone/trombone mouthpiece on the sax. It demonstrates how much of the classic sound of the instrument is from the design of the instrument AND the mouthpiece. I'm not surprised that the flute head didn't work on the brass as the air flow through that is not enough to "tickle" the metal in the larger instruments. The same thing would happen if you had a leaking spit valve on trumpet, trombone, or baritone.
This was uploaded on my birthday, much love!
That Reed Trombone sounds like something you can use in a dubstep, 8-bit, electronic, Ect.
8-bit has nothing to do with the others lol
Try playing a xylophone.....with sledgehammers.
......................................................GENIUS!!!
They sound really weird and I like it! Thank you for putting so much effort into being silly, thoroughly entertaining!
fantastic idea, been thinking about this lately and mention about it to my friend and my friend linked me to a youtube vid. glad poeple have played around with this! interesting sounds
How about you try timpani mallets to play a subcontrobass flute
this is actually how the sax was invented. Antoine Joseph, called Adolphe, Sax tried a bass clarinet mouthpiece on the ophicleide, a bass brass instrument of the 19th century. He liked the sound of it and went on experimenting and the saxophone was born.
That trombone clarinet thing sounds like my friend playing her oboe
My bari sax mouthpiece fits perfectly on my friends trombone so whenever we mix them we just yell lawnmower time and I start blowing while he moves the slide
This is wierd...you're putting wood in brass.....WTF DO YOU CALL IT NOW? A SAXOPHONE?
XD
It's a Saxobone
Saxobone
HAHAHAHWHAHAH
Gaven Tran the saxophone is made out of brass, it is a woodwind however since it has keys instead of valves it is considered a woodwind instrument. And
Trombone mouthpiece on the sax should actually be a thing
Stephen Riggle ophicleide
Nah trumpet would be best because you can produce a sound that is higher than you can achieve with the trombone mouthpiece which would sound better
farmer john how does higher sound better please explain
Stephen Riggle n o
Ophicliede
Oh my gosh I can’t believe we never tried this in band!!! What a fun idea!!
I liked some of the tones you got out of the saxophone with a trombone mouthpiece, that was pretty good.
This video proves you own and know how to play tenor saxophone...you should make a video playing some woodwinds!
Daisy Greene YES
you have too much time on your hands
No, my time is only on my left wrist.
+Trent Hamilton 😂😂😂 I see what tou did there
Trent Hamilton youre too smart for this world...
Too much time relative to what?
And money. I play alto sax and it is a fortune.
One of my favorite music videos now. Unique
Back in the 60's when I was in high school I played Clarinet, Saxophone and Bassoon. Band instructor was not present and we tried switching mouthpieces. I can remember that the Bassoon double reed mouth piece was hilarious on the trumpet. Band instructor came in the room and simply went about business, like nothing out of the ordinary was going on. Yeah, he was a cool dude.
To the future viewers, would a trumpet mouthpiece fit into an oboe or Bassoon and vice versa?
Edward Alaniz I have a trumpet. I don't have a bassoon in my band though.
I'm not sure, although I know for a fact you can fit a bassoon reed in a trumpet
Check out P.D.Q. Bach's tromboon.
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Tromboon-sample.ogg
Edward Alaniz you can fit a mouthpiece on a bassoon! pretty sure
H. Akb, I play the bassoon and I believe that only a French horn mouthpiece would fit on the bocal because without a vocal you could not fit any mouthpiece into the wing joint on its iwn
It's pronounced SAX not SEX
2 idiots Many games he is British. He said sax but because his accent is so heavy it sounds like sex.
Galaxy KT I know it was a joke
British??? I'm from New Zealand.
Trent Hamilton oh XD it sounded like a British accent. my bad XDD
I will tale that tenor sax off your hands any day you dont want it😏
i like watching trents videos they chill me out.
The fusions no one really wanted but, the ones we needed
0:29 dat accent doh
what would happen is we tried to play a "sex" with a trombone mouthpiece
Sticks For Sale a teenor sex lmao
In school, we made a fluba, a fluboe, and a baritone tubaphone. (baritone saxophone + tuba mouthpiece)
btw im in the elite order of the fluba
Im a Saxobone (Alto Sax + Tenor Trombone)
You do this stuff in school? Amazing
Trent, I can’t stop grinning!
Some clarinet players are known to buzz the barrel without the brass mouthpiece. It works quite well. A" whistle shaped lips" embosure is used to play the clarinet lie an end blown flute such as ney, shakuhachi, etc. Since you also play soprano brass, you might trry to buzz the saxophone neck. That also works quite well. All of this is a revisit to the development of aerophones. Cheers. Nearly forgot, if you raise your tongue directing the airstream up in the saxophone mouthpiece you may be able to produce a harmonic above the tone played on the bass trombone. I might have used a smaller trombone in demonstration.
Turn the captions on it's hilarious 😂

I just so happen to have a friend who plays trombone and I play tenor sax... maybe we should combine forces 😂
You turned that woodwind instrument into a brass instrument. GG.
This is the first video I've seen by you, and I've been watching your videos for a few weeks now. You are a cool guy and you have a good sense of humor! Keep up the good work.
Thanks mate :)
Oh, wonderful. Trombone mouthpiece with a sax. You got a saxoblone. :D and the sax mouthpiece on a trombone - tromdrone. Have to say, I do like the saxoblone.
"This is a bass trombone with a tenor sax mouthpiece on the end. Let's see what happens!"
_Inception noise plays_
Underneath all this is a truly excellent, hard-working musician.
Good to see im not the only one to do this!!!
**stares at trombone and stares at friends tenor sax** you know damn well what I’m doing this weekend
A tenor sax mouthpiece on a flute sounds amazing. Definitely worth trying
Actually, wasn't a "trombone" mouthpiece used on a sax in the early 19th century--it was called an ophicleide. Today's players of the ophicleide are fantastic--Tony George, Nick Bryne, and others.
Metoyen no, the ophicleide is different to a sax - completely different type of instrument :)
Not all THAT different! Made of brass (or similar metal) with a conical bore, large toneholes, similar-sized mouthpiece to the trombone (usually more conical, though, I think), and not an altogether dissimilar tone color to what you got out of that poor sax (whose length is not much more than half that of a bass ophicleide).
There's even a (probably unfounded, but still plausible) legend that Adolph Sax got the idea for the saxophone by messing around with a reed mouthpiece on an ophicleide.
4:07 sounds better than most clarinet players
Billy Garvey Sounds better than my elementary band last year. Middle school band is better.
I'm a Clarinet player and to be honest that is actually true 😂 I'm not that bad (Only my second year) , but the others squeak.
At least it doesn't squeak
I find that offenceve
The clarinets, in the 4 years I’ve played in my current school system, is the only section that is reliably good. While the people you’d say are “the best” play other instruments (a percussionist, a trumpeter, and a saxophonist) their sections are full of shitty players.
What song or tune did he play? With the tenor sax and trombone mouth piece?
Sax with trombone mouthpiece sounds pretty good
You don't even play the reed right when you play the "reed trombone"
Just imagine my teacher asks me to do altissimo:
*"SHAPE YOUR MOUTH DAMMIT"*
Cuz he manly plays with brass
Preston Richardson and u play good?

Wait what is the song you played an excerpt from at 1:32??

VEGGIE TALES
I've been trying to figure this out forever, what is the name of the song he plays on the sax with trombone mouthpiece?
I've used an alto mouthpiece on a tenor trombone, and it sounds and feels similar to a Bari sax. Pretty fun!
playing a sax with a brass mouthpiece is going back to the saxophone's roots:`THE OPHICLEIDE. !
100% improvement to the normal sax
In the PDQ Bach concerts in the '60s, they used a trombone with a bassoon reed (dubbed the "Tromboon" for the occasion), and it worked well enough for what was required.
what song was played on the sax body?
just out of curiosity
Nice veggietales song on the sax
It's Italian rhapsody ya dip
+Jack the Timelord (JacktheTimelord) yes, however Veggietales made a silly song with the tune of Italian Rhapsody
are you using your buzz lips or the sax keys
i came here after reading a comment saying a sax mouth on a trombone body sounded like hell on earth and i honestly did not expect it to be that accurate
trumpet body with a clarinet mouthpiece gives you something around a bass clarinet register which is pretty cool but i guess you'd have to be pretty good with overtones on a clarinet/sax to get anything other than the 8 or so notes the valves offer you
Could you try a saxophone reed on a trumpet? Kinda weird, but I'm a total band nerd and I can't experiment like this myself.
+Leslie Rose Well it would have to be a really small mouth piece to fit on the trumpet. Maybe a soprano or something I'm not sure because alto sax mouthpiece doesn't fit on the trumpet so the soprano sax might fit. If not then any sax higher than soprano I've never actually gotten to hold or play.
Wait never mind you can totally fit an alto mouthpiece on a trumpet I was just confused. If not then you can just tape it for a seal, but it should be close fit.
StrikerSigma V my Sopranino mouthpiece is a bit odd, but it fits over the leadpipe of my friend's trumpet perfectly, and is almost usable. It is weird, using a mouthpiece from something that is so high pitched, and it either being pointlessly high or pointlessly low.
It works, it doesn’t sound good tho
Look up Eddie Harris reed trumpet.
i have a friend who plays sax, we put his reed in my trombone... we imitate cars lol
Since the trombone has a cylindrical bore, by putting a reed mouthpiece on it you are basically turning it into a slide clarinet. That drops the pitch by an octave. So those ultra-low pitches you're getting are real, just are in the 16' and 32' range. Essentially, you have a contrabass, even octo-contrabass clarinet. As an organist (who also plays clarinet), I can assure you that those lowest notes have a musical purpose, just so long as they are doubled by upper octaves to give them pitch definition -- which is how such low pitches are used in organs. To access upper range, you probably need a register key, as is found on a clarinet or saxophone.
Me and some other people did this once in band and it was beautiful.
Brass mouthpiece on sax= serpent in 2019?
The song you played is from veggietales
Actually, it was originally an opera.
What song did u play for the tenor saxophone?
love it. I'm personally not a sax fan. so therefore I think you have made a major improvement on the sax sound (as I perceive it)
