Of course it is capable of additional overtones, but would need a player who is capable of playing them (no offense to Mr. Broiles). By the way, what's so strange about it finding a home in New Jersey? This state, with all its metropolitan suburbs, has a lot of good music programs and musicians.
How did he play the rest of the octave jumps (concert A, F sharp and B) which come straight after the first call? In the actual musical context it doesn't help at all
@@thebrasspedagogue Hi, not wanting to be an internet pedant by any means, but as far as I can tell; this is just a little toy trumpet assembled from odd parts which is able to play octave Cs and a possible high F (concert). It has no use at all in Zarathustra because the 'call section' moves quickly between several different octave jumps- which this trumpet is literally incapable of playing. If the performer was paranoid about missing the notes, then they could use a piccolo trumpet (and get a similar sound to this thing) which would at least be able to cover the various calls, albeit with a smaller sound than most players would want on this work. Whatever you want to call this little invention, it certainly doesn't have anything to do with Zarathustra and I am very sure that Mel Broiles never used this in a performance in his life, regardless of having a quick laugh about it with Gergiev.
@@thebrasspedagogue Hi, thanks for the reply. Yes I am aware of that, but you don't quite seem to be taking my point? You know how Zarathustra goes? If yes, then you must agree that this little trumpet doesn't have a practical application for the piece and the call section because you have to play the call figure several times in different keys in a fairly short space of time. Agreed?
@@trumpetbrain7302 If anyone missed the point, it is you sir, and you come across loud and clear as an internet pedant LOL. This is all in jest, and he is either joking that Mel used it, or believes he actually did. But very oviously you can't do the rest on it.. so why bother asking?
You can get those little bike horns still, they come with a bulb and I guess it's just a matter of making them fit a trumpet mouthpiece.
Where would you purchase one?
@@jfmusicbox3477 I see them on ebay. The search terms I use is "vintage honk horn" and all kinds pop up.
Could probably solder on a trumpet lead pipe so it would fit a mouthpiece shank.
Talk about power trumpet playing! WOW!

?
Isn't it cute?
ITS AVERAGE
Lol Mel never used this for Zarathustra, its just a joke
'Oh THAT'S why there are quotation marks in the tite.'
It IS Dillon Music in NJ...
In Woodbridge? Or some other location?

My guess is just to show that he could do that.

@@trumpetbrain7302 it’s what Mel himself called it.

More of a bugal because it has no valves
The one at 0:40 u can still buy a modern replica on websites like Wessex tubas
Not even replicas, but you can simply buy this instrument that is still in production
I think Dillon music in NJ has it
Bit bright
Zahra tout sera.
