Listening is super helpful! I try to listen to trombone music when I first wake up and have breakfast. Get the ears primed. I'm usually listening to some type of music throughout the day. I listen to a pretty wide variety of music. Not just the nerdy stuff. I got to do a lot of listening and part reading when I broke my collar bone and wrist in 2018. Couldn't hold up the horn for about 3 months. I had a lesson yesterday with Oliver Siefert, from the Frankfurt Radio Symphony, and he talked about using a metronome with no sound, just the light. So after relying on the metronome to count for us, turn off the sound and use only the light function to show the tempo. Turn away from it and then turn back later, to see if you're still in tempo.

Get well soon Aidan!! Thanks for the video

Thank you for this! I am a bass trombonist currently student teaching and I wish I had more time to play, but most of my time out of school is devoted to working on lesson plans. I've on occasion found myself doing some of these, but I'm gonna try to do so more consistently.

Literally just got settled in to my college dorm and can't practice for the week since the music hall isn't open yet, thanks Aidan!

This video was super helpful, I just got diagnosed with TMD/TMJ and I have to take a few weeks off to let that rest. Thanks!

You have no idea how applicable this is to me rn 😅

I'm just curious how you cracked that rib?

I got a schiller for $700 on the website, other than some sharp edges causing some rough slide bites and the 2nd valve rubbing on my neck, it seems like a pretty good horn. Its also the first and only bass I've played.

Thank you very much!

Cat had much to say

Great info here, especially for doublers!

I want a King 7B.

Good lesson!! I run the gamut from large tenor , Getzen bass, to Rath R9 with a 562/578 slide 10.5 bell for orchestral work - each wants a little different approach - the Rath just wants ALL your lungs!

Middle of the road has been amazing for me! I went through a lot of this without any direction. Wondering why does it feel so hard to play this instrument!? I'm finally hitting the sweet spot on both my horns, and I'm loving it! Fantastic video.

There is no better person to make this video than you!

Here here! (as they say) Lots of good stuff here, Aiden. I play tenor, bass, tuba, and trumpet...and do a lot of adapting.

Never ever get rid of your King 3BF. IT is a workhorse snd very reliable.

Como la que usó Willie Colón en los últimos años de la década del 70 y principios de la década de 1980, incluso en discos de estudio. 👂📻🎵🎤✍️

What the heck is a Hanstul ??

Can I do this with my slide too?

Thanks for the guide and tips. Really helpful!

Deja vu? Didn’t you post this before

I'm hearing lots of technician bills.

Where how do you acquire so many bones?

Brass instruments are so part dependent. Different mouthpieces alone change everything.

What was the solo you played at the first of the video? I liked the sound of it.

Where do you buy and sell?

*looks at thumbnail* right on dude 🤙

I'm curious to know what that tuning slide came off of. Was it the blessing?

Nicely done! I have to echo the "great sound" comments and excellent accuracy.

I like the monster bass the best. I think I prefer a bass that gets a little hot on the low notes, but I understand why that's not ideal for most professional playing. I like when a bass can make low notes sound bright without sounding thin. Horns like this have a more vocal quality to me because the tone is less consistent just like a singer. I feel like modern bass trombones are mostly designed to keep the buttery fat sound no matter how loud you play it rather than the tone vary greatly with different dynamics.

I hope you get tenor gigs also. From what I’ve heard, you certainly should.

My valve won’t come out of the bottom. 🤦‍♂️

This guy really covers the basses.

So far I've had my new 2024 Yamaha YSL-448G in service for 3 weeks. I double between Tenor Trombone and Bass Trombone. Absolutely am complete garbage on the small bore because I have spent 16 years on the bass trombone. Having a Large Bore Tenor Trombone Yamaha with a closed wrap just made sense to me.

Hey ! Love the Sarastro bass ! Have you ever played Edward's instruments?

Aidan, what's the Doug Elliott setup you're using for those horns?

Hello! Here in Germany the 800 trombones were sold in the 80s of the last century. I owned and now own an 842 (Bb/F) with a .550 bore. As far as I know, the 8000 numbers were only intended for Japan or were custom-made. I just bought a YBL-8110 from Japan (like the YBL-611) and also had an 8210 (like the 421), all with 'custom' slides and the typical tuning slide rings and the double trapeze rings on the slide .

Nice find! I have a Yamaha 421G and was troubled by the trigger. Sometimes my thumb would cause the trigger to not fully return--the side of my thumb would touch the portion of the lever going back to the valve. I had a tech change the trigger so that the lever was above my thumb and it suddenly became much more playable for me. He was even able to reuse all the Yamaha parts. Enjoy the horn!

Is that Bach 16M still available? If so, how much will it cost?

Thank you for your videos! I was wondering if you could make a video about stripping off the lacquer? Always wanted to do it on my chinese horn ;)

I use a 3BF as my tenor horn, it’s such a great instrument!

I had no idea Yamaha even made a .500” Bb/F! Seems like a great horn, seeing how good the 352 genuinely is. I still do prefer the projection pattern of the 3BF, but the response was a little thuddier, so I can see why you’d like the Yamaha’s immediacy for playing the higher parts in the section. How are the ergonomics? The overall weight distribution and the trigger hold seem like quite an adjustment for a 3B player.

Did you ever do a video on the 3B+w/f you mentioned? That’s one of my favorites and was always curious to hear your thoughts.

I'd kill to have that 852... I love my Yamahas, been looking far and wide for something that plays like (or better than) my 354 that also has a valve.

Marvellous tip! It works! Thank you!

That’s exciting!!

What do you use to strip the lacquer, I had my shop do it, and there is sooo much still left. I'd say about 10%. So I figure I would just do it myself...

The 852 is cool but the 3BF still just has something special about the sound and the craftsmanship.

A nice getting off of work present! Great sounds as always.
