Pretty darn good for using a full-size mouthpiece. It's definitely a dog in the lowest registers, but it absolutely rips up top. Hearing the jHorn pull off this kind of sound is making me rethink having a custom piece made for it. It wouldn't be that expensive to get a custom JK PT2A 10mm. Not sure how large they'd let me have the throat bored out for such a small shank, though. 5.4mm won't cut it. Already tried.
Bravo !Sound great! What are your impressions on this tool? is it in tune? Could a tenor trombone mouthpiece fit? I have heard that centering notes is not easy. I play the tenor trombone but I also have experience of trumpet but for me it has too small a mouth ...
I am playing with a small shank trombone mouthpiece in the video. It fits but it does not sit in the correct place in the leadpipe. I think a tenor horn mouthpiece would be a perfect. In the video, I am working pretty hard to get the horn in tune with mixed success at best. A few open notes were notably flatter than the rest of the horn. I bought the horn to so my son could play with an instrument without giving me an anuerysm. It is working well for that but I don't think I will ever play it in public.
That sounds really good for a cheap plastic horn! Someone else suggested a flugelhorn mouthpiece works best with it, that it doesn't really play well as an alto/tenor horn. He also recommended not to use a trombone mpc
I am a trombone/euphonium player so I used what I had. I think the big problem was the gap in the receiver is too large with a small shank mouthpiece. I may try to turn down a cheap 12c to the right size for the leadpipe and see if it works better.
It seems like Nuevo could make a silicone “mouthpiece” that had a deep cup like a flugelhorn or alto horn mouthpiece. I’m a luddite when it comes to stuff like that, but it doesn’t seem like it’d be any harder to than making the mouthpiece cups they already have. I guess if enough people asked for it… You sound great, btw. 🙂
my main question, unanswered as yet, is why is the bell not a standard size for mutes? i need to practise silently'ish, but i'me told that a trombone mute is too big & a trumpet one, too small. (i already have a yamaha silent system for trombone). i so want one of these, with all its other faults, but can't play loudly where i live! so annoying. IMHO a massive mistake in the design! rant over!
Wow beautiful sound and playing!!
Well done! And btw, great collection of board games.
Sounds beautiful!
Bravissimo
Excellent job!!
Damn dude great

I live near Warburton and I am debating getting a scratch and dent shank turned down.
It sounds great! The Warburton 7M Mouthpiece is a Trombone mouthpiece? Or an alto horn mouthpiece?
It is a trombone mouthpiece. An alto horn or tenor horn mouthpiece would probably work a lot better. Mine only went about 3/8" into the horn.

@@ojannen I know nothing about horns, never played a brass instrument but I hope to get one of these to get to grips with playing a brass instrument.

I always have so many questions about this horn. All the questions. 🙋♂️

Dude, that was out. You are a fine player but the horn all over the place.
I wanted to see what it sounded like with a reasonable mouthpiece. There is a bit of hit and miss.
