  • You don't see these too often in America, but my school owns a UK-style baritone with a .504" bore and 8-3/8" yellow brass bell. This is technically the 301S model, being silver-plated. It's a fun instrument with a fairly wide tonal palate, but it's not the same experience as playing a full-size euphonium.

    Just letting you know you’re right about the general bell size of Euphoniums. I think they’re usually 11”-12”. I haven’t seen anything smaller or larger, but there probably is somewhere. Very well made review.

    Hey, maybe you mention it in an other video but what was your experience as a trumpet player to play those bass brass instruments ? Is getting use enough or proper training is necessary (as an hobbyist)

    • @SamuelPlaysBrass
      @SamuelPlaysBrass  4 роки тому +1

      I strongly suggest professional or semi-pro lessons depending on your financial situation, because even as a hobbyist it's so important to get a solid foundation on whatever instrument you play. Hobbies are supposed to be fun, and realizing you learned to play in such a way that is harmful to you is the opposite of fun.

    I beat the bot. That beat was beat. That horn was neat. I'll take a seat.

      Speaking of, I haven't heard from our favorite bot in a while. It's quite a shame. I do hope the poor thing is okay.

      Heart react for the use of the term "Brueggmeister," but I'm sure he just got this secondhand from somewhere like all the other school baritones. Probably a retired brass band player, seeing as it's a UK model.

    Tbh, I feel like this instrument has stuffiness issues like the valve trombone, based on the tone the lower you get.

    • @SamuelPlaysBrass
      @SamuelPlaysBrass  4 роки тому +1

      Any low brass instrument that is so dramatically cylindrical in bore will have inherent stuffiness below about an F in the staff, unfortunately. It's much like the trumpet in that sense. However, this instrument is significantly less stuffy than what I remember a valve trombone feeling like. Most valve trombones have almost trumpet-sized valve blocks, rendering them nearly unplayable towards the bottom of the bass staff.

      Samuel Plays Brass Oddly enough, my trombones don’t have that problem, I think it’s because of the valve block

      @@mayclarque4123 Fair point. On every small bore trombone I've played I've had the issue of the low register being a bit "barky," but I guess that's a separate issue.

      It's a really good horn considering it's a student/intermediate model! I like it more than the YEP-201 and 321 euphoniums.

    I prefer the sound of the baritone horn over the euphonium.

    • @SamuelPlaysBrass
      @SamuelPlaysBrass  Рік тому

      Interesting. My preference would be the euphonium's sound but I think it's sort of like comparing apples to oranges. You can't really have one without the other.
