"The girth of my excellence is too much to swallow"
Love this quote
What is he quoting? It's new to me.
@@owensmith7530 i don't think its from anything specific, just trent being trent.
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
This is quite possibly the pinnacle of Kiwi-made brass instruments this decade.
Analysis: true
Ngl I need one now
We want a laser kiwi instrument
The number of Top Gear references was astounding.
And all done without punching the producer.
I haven't watched your channel for half a year now due to some circumstances. But I've gotta say, HOLY SHEEET have you lost weight! I genuinely didn't expect that!
Yes, I noticed that as well. Plus he's got the world's highest trumpet. The rest of us can just pack up and go home.
Yeah me too i used to watch him but now oh my god HE LOST WEIGHT
Same. First time watching his videos in a year!
Dude, you're looking sharp lately. Whatever you're doing, keep it up!
I got a team of tapeworms working for me. It's very effective!
WHO ARE YOU WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO THE REAL TRENT HAMILTON
I was thinking the same thing. I just got over coronavirus myself and didn't realize how much weight i lost in about a week and a half.... needless to say that when i returned to work, everyone was staring at me like i was that Lil outbreak monkey and Christian bale from that movie where he lost like 300 lbs to portray a character.... Damn.

And now the Quest begins for a mouthpiece worthy of the Super-Piccolo Trumpet!
A thimble
Mouthpieces? Where we're going, we don't need mouthpieces!
A silver spoon with a pinprick in it?
@@alexcarter8807 nice back to the future reference.😂😂
@@CaptainApathetic too deep
Trent, now you just made the life harder of us orchestration professors everywhere...next time one of my composition students writes a PPP double C on an orchestral trumpet part, I cannot even mark them down, because they will say, "won't they just switch to super-piccolo at that moment?"
now that's just funny right there.
Yes, inquiring minds have spend many sleepless nights dreaming of a super piccolo trumpet. It's now in existence, and sadly there becomes no further hurdles for mankind. Life became dull today.
How about a super, super piccolo trumpet? Doubles up as a dog whistle too.
That will never happen because of the HUGE mistake of sending a man to the moon. Why was that a mistake? Because forever after people have been sayhing, "If we could send a man to the moon, why can't we..." And there will always be those who try to respond and invent whatever.
Its mere existence leaves no room for creationism or any kind of deity too. How will we carry on in this godless universe?
I feel as though this instrument answers a question that no one asked 😁
Kind of like a flugelhorn :-)
A solution that creates new problems!
@@stephenhill6003 hey, wait a minute, I love my flugelhorn 😁😎
@@allenrussell1947 Same here. Maybe there's room for a baby trumpet as well :-)
it sounds like that noise a balloon makes when you slowly let air leak out of it, except at different pitches. Or, like if you gave Alvin and the Chipmunks a trumpet.
I'm actually quite impressed that you were able to get any sound out of that at all! Quite entertaining and now the world's trumpet makers have something to think about.
I've actually been waiting for a video like this for very long...If you can ever manage to get your hands on a tuba lower than a contrabass tuba, I'd be honoured to see you play it
A subcontrabass tuba would indeed be amazing
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subcontrabass_tuba
The "subcontrabass" exist but is pretty much useless. At that kind of extreme low range humans lips simply can't vibrate slowly enough to produce a good pitch
Subcontrabass tubas exist in the keys of Bb (an octave below a regular Bb contrabass) and also in Eb (a perfect fifth below a regular Bb contrabass). The ones in Bb are, as far as I can tell, basically just instrument-building stunts. There are a few videos of an Eb subcontrabass (you might call it an Eb sub-bass, if you follow the granular naming convention of recorders) which looks interesting, and I'd love to at least try an Eb subcontrabass one day.
In my experience, the same rule that high brass players are limited by their lip and not the instrument (i.e. going from a Bb trumpet to a picc does not give you an extra octave of range) also applies in reverse to the ultra-low register. My lowest note is (sounding) F0, and I can (on a good day) play this on either an Eb or Bb tuba. On the Bb it sounds like a dirty, laboured pedal and on the Eb it just sounds like a flapping noise :P. Would it sound any better on an Eb subcontrabass? Maybe, but probably the thing I'd want to use an Eb subcontrabass for is the range from A0 or maybe G0 (in the pedal range of the Bb contrabass) up to around F1. On a Bb tuba, that range is hard work and very stuffy on compensating tubas, but an Eb subcontrabass might open it up and make it sound bigger.
I highly doubt I could actually get an F0 out of an Eb subcontrabass (too much tubing, same problem as C1 on the compensating Bb) but I would be very interested to see if I could get an Eb0 out of an open instrument. That's too low to play on an Eb bass (at least in theory, I swear my Eb has a resonance peak below the pedal) and too much tube on the Bb contrabass. Go much lower than that and you need to start using weird extended techniques. Give Richard Bobo and his subcontrabassoon project a visit on UA-cam and you'll hear him play notes all the way down to A-1 on his prototype subcontrabassoon and down to G-2 on one of his Frankenstein creations. Down in that register, the notes start to sound less like a note and more like a rapid beating (th-kh-th-kh-th-kh-th-kh-th-kh...). If I ever got my hands on a tuba that had a resonance down in that range, I'd like to try buzzing it with a rapid double-tonguing and see if it actually resonates (alas, I still can't flutter tongue, otherwise I'd try that in the B-1 to F0 range on the Bb contrabass).
If you've every heard a cathedral organ recital or a brass band tuba section plumb those depths, you'll know that there is genuinely some richness of tone available down there. I'd love to try an Eb subcontrabass at something like a Christmas carol concert, playing in unison with the Bbs up util the final verse, then plunging to the abyssal depths to add some serious richness. Preferably with two Bbs above me, filling in the gap between Eb subcontrabass shenanigans and the actual bassline. I think you could achieve a hell of an effect, with a little help from a good acoustic.
I have seen one played.
Finally, a competitor to the market standard for that range (the five valve Wiggles Trumpet)!
May I suggest the word piccolino for your new instrument?
Dear god he’s done it
I wasn’t aware that Jeremy Clarkson had a cousin from New Zealand that was a musician but the evidence is all there
He even called the horn "the excellent"..
Trent! I know you've probably heard it enough already, but congrats on the weight loss! I haven't tuned in to your videos since years ago, and it's a delight to see. Keep up the amazing work.
Mr. Hamilton, wow! You’ve done it again. You’re a genius.
However I am intrigued by the image at 2:28 on the left of the screen. Yes, the first valve . . . Rotate the tube clockwise 90° and fashion a bell 81.4 mm long and 37.777mm in diameter then fashion a lead-pipe for the other port (on the left). Take special care to get the taper right and find the correct “gap”. Voila a Triple Pickle-O Trumpet!
Now all that's left is to bring it up a fourth and put it in Eb
Don't give Eric Ball any ideas
I've been watching a good amount of your videos tonight, you're looking good on the weight loss journey! Also, your videos are AMAZING! Thank you for posting all these!
Well done, Trent!
Sir, this is stupendous. Hats off.
I’ve been a trumpet player for 6 years and I’m able to cover about 4-5 octaves on a standard trumpet. I have been intrigued by the piccolo trumpet for about 3 years but have never got around to getting one. Now the Super-Piccolo intrigues me more
@TRENT!!! that song you played at the beginning was a song I played on my first year on high school, this song is so nostalgic!!!! I always loved that one, except I played the bass part an octave higher.
i love it!!!
I'm so excited to add this to my arrangements
broooo! haven't watched one of your vids in a while, and you're looking great man!
This is the content we come here for. Well played, Trent. Keep it up!
Man! Congrats on the weight loss. I've been watching a lot of your videos and was like who's this guy?" Great channel!
Great video. Looking good my man
I skipped a minute by reflex then realised he's not making videos longer than needed. Nice! I subscribe.
Hadn't been on this site in awhile. Mr. Trent, I am astonished at your weight-loss. Good show. And, this video falls into that category of videos that you have done, "No-one has seen this before"-kinda videos. Good show.
holy crap, havent watch since like 2016 and my god you look so much better than you did back then keep it up
I want to recommend the name
Glocken Trumpet
The glockenspiel is the only other instrument I can think of that plays that high.
Smart!!!
Garklein recorder?
Grade school clarinet players often hit notes that high - although they don't intend to.
Piccolino trumpet
@@Koriyama Sopranino Trumpet
My dude is looking fantastic!
Congrats
Wow- that is pretty wicked, can't lie
Hi, have you ever found an Eb alto trumpet or flugelhorn ? Apparently the standard alto horn is a saxhorn, so if I got it right, it should be somewhere between a cornet and flugelhorn in terms of conicity?
The pocket trumpet: Am I a joke to you?
As they're small, they have a good 1,5 metres of tubing. Makes them Bb trumpet size....
You look great my man!
Looking good Trent!!!
I'll volunteer to try it, I love the idea!
It should be could called a soprillo trumpet since piccolo=sopranino soprillo is used for the saxophone and it is above piccolo
You were so preoccupied with whether or not you could, you didn't stop to think if you should.
Now this is for Maynard covers lol
What song was playing in the background? So beautiful!
caro maestro, your dead pan delivery and comic timing are magnificent. can you tell me please the name of the song played during your repairs. something about la liberta. i first heard it in the film about the castradi tenors. thank you for your wonderful presentations.
i found il. viva youtube.Carlo Broschi (Farinelli) - Lascia ch'io pianga dal Rinaldo di Georg Friedrich Haendel. besides the soloist's voice, i prefer your brass arrangement and execution.
Two octaves up is a double piccolo, or "diccolo" for short.
diccolo lol I'm so immature
Great video, and wow you look great!
Haven't watched for a couple of years. Proud of you weight loss journey, sorry I didn't stick around to witness the progression!
I used to own a rotary "piccolo" trumpet in A, the catch was the proportions are the same as a full sized rotary trumpet, it was just as long as my hand. It was playable. I sold it to a CSO trumpet player but still have pics if you're interested in seeing it. There are none like it online, it was possibly the worlds smallest playable trumpet
Yes, please send me some photos! I've seen several miniaturised trumpets, mainly by companies such as HN White (later known as King) from the 1920's), but never a rotary one.
@@TrentHamilton do you have an email I could send them to? I don’t think I can through UA-cam. Also yes, it’s much smaller than those ones
oh, i have head a half size piccolo trumpet in a brass concert in Berlin in the 1980/90s ... unfortunately don't remember the name of the quintet (?)
They were very virtuos and comedian.
The trumpeter of the mini trumpet got a rather red head but he could play on it very well. It was extremely tiny.
Trent also a comedian!!!!!!!!!
I thought that, after all the film of you cutting up the horn, you were going to hold up just a mouthpiece and say, "Here is our super piccolo trumpet!"
Looking truly 👌mate. Keep it up
First of all, as a trumpet player, I would absolutely love to try playing this. Second off, what was the song that was playing during the montage?
A half-size piccolo trumpet for a half-size Trent. Sounds like a match that needed to be made. The excellence of both is ... well ... umm ... excellent.
2:18 the Dremel tool almost matched the melody of the background music. lol.
So what is the valve configuration? The valve slides look too long, do you have a 1st, 3rd and 4th valve in conventional terms or is it different to that?
Incredible!
2:57 OK the Super Piccolo Trumpet.
Nice one!
Dude, you look great!
Well done for craziness but I have to be a wet blanket here and point out you should have left to flare on and cut off the bell instead. Just like the piccolo bell is smaller than the trumpet bell the bell for the super pic would have to be be smaller again. About 50-60mm. So you still have the flare right? so maybe put that on in place of your frakenbell and lets call her the MKII....cheers and don't even turn normal...
So a pic that only James Morrison and Arturo Sandoval can play, nice
garklein trumpet lol, it sounds a lot like a zink/cornett, if you could get your hands on one of their mouthpieces it might make the embouchure a little bit more ,, comfortable
I made my own four valve trumpet after your last video of this nature. I don't think I'll do this one. I think I'll make a soprano superbone instead.
Did you really? I'd love to see it!
Video plz
its really cute!
Name suggestions:
Alto-piccolo trumpet
Piccolo-piccolo trumpet
What the hell have I done-trumpet
Dog-whistle trumpet
The "why I'm now divorced" trumpet
Alto piccolo would imply that it's lower than a regular piccolo trumpet.
What's the use it just so narrow range i wonder who will buy that
This is the correct fate for the piccolo trumpet shaped object. It sounds much better this way
That's so cool
Didn't King/HN White come up with a proportionately correct piccolo trumpet in F or something? About 60 years ago? I recall a video ....
In what clef and key should you read ?
I can’t believe you made that thing!
I haven't watched Trent in a while, he lost weight! Good for him!
"Half the size". You got that right. Looking good dude.
What's the name of the song you used during the construction
it sounds like it would work well with a clarinet
Dude, what is that music in the background? I think i recongize the melody but i cannot find anything.
I am curious, what was the price paid for this highly specialized instrument?
What's the beautiful piece played during the construction of this magnificent instrument?
Where do you get the money to by this stuff
Would you like a bell with your valves?
I would love to play this horn
Now I want the slide-version ;-)
Trent, your comment at 3:09 is only 2nd to your modesty and humbleness followed closely by my jealousy of your vast knowledge and musical ability with such a wide variety of brass instruments (not to mention your Dr. Frankenstein-like skills in creating instruments of your dreams and our nightmares)
what’s the name of the intro and outro music ??
whats the song that plays while he constructs this magnificant beauty?
Lascia Ch'io Pianga - ua-cam.com/video/rPshOE4LccI/v-deo.html
With more practice this could sound really nice!
Knowledge has it´s own purpose, but I thing the market is limited. :)
Think I gotta write music for this absolutely beautiful sounding instrument. Might play easier with different mouthpiece configuration.
Trent really went fine ill do it myself
4:10
Not that I could do much with it (I’m a somewhat new player who’s used to playing trombone), but now I do kind of want one.
Trent or anyone....I have a question. I purchased a vintage King H.N. White mellophone off ebay for the purpose of using the bell on a French horn. Any opinions on that? I know the bell may be an inch or so smaller in overall diameter but being about a hundred years old in guessing it could be an interesting project.
What would be the advantage of doing that?
@@TrentHamilton yeah....none really....just the mellophone was cheaper than buying a whole bell! I got it for $100 US and sent it to Art! You know, the guy that has your euphonium! Plus I'm not sure if it's a nickel bell or sterling. It's more of an experiment. From what I've deduced, the mellophone bell would be 11 inches diameter vs. 12 for the horn. So pretty close there. Plus it's not a straight mellophone, an old vintage curved one. Trent, I guess I'm a little loopy😁😅
Basically the lowest useful partial is a high C on a regular trumpet meaning the tuning C partial is a double C on a regular trumpet. That is insane.
Sounds perfect for jazz
What are the pedal tones like 😆😆
May I suggest a Piccolino or Octavino :Trumpet.
First time here in two years and damn Trent lost hella weight!!! Good on you brother
What do you mean you haven't watched my videos in 2 years??
@@TrentHamilton I watched them on my chromebook as middle schooler and I haven’t been UA-cam there in a while but got one of your vids recommended here!!
