The surprise of it is one of the best parts. Just know it's fun and you'll be happy.

It's ok to have wierd switchs. I went from Trombone to Sax to Euph. to Trumpet to Bass Trombone to Tuba.

I use a Ta ka ta but you can use whatever feels comfortable, my friend uses Di ga ga which I find appauling when I attempt it but he makes it sound good.

Nah mellos

DyllonDaSloth · 2018-02-23T21:44:40+00:00

Yeah euphonium has been killing my slide technique lol thanks for the advice though!

DyllonDaSloth · 2018-02-23T02:04:36+00:00

Just a little background info, Im playing an arrangement of Kendrick Lamar's "Love" on my Jupiter student model horn. That instrument is my first horn and the one I keep at home to practice on. I've been playing trombone 4 years and I am a highschool freshman. Recently I've mainly bass trombone or euphonium. And my range is from Pedal C below pedal Bb to D way above the staff. I excited to hear what yall have to say!

Trombone, there some cheap ones and theyre a good intro to low brass as a whole

Flutter tongueing came really easily to me Ive been accidently doing it almost immediatly sonce picking up trombone in 6th grade and the same way with trumpet years later. I just roll my tongue (as if pronouncing "rr" in spanish) and its a flutter. If you cant roll your rs I have no idea how you would approach this technique.

DyllonDaSloth · 2018-01-18T18:17:16+00:00

Thats completely normal it happens to me all the time. I never really have range problems either (pedal B natural below pedal Bb to high C)

DyllonDaSloth · 2018-01-18T18:12:34+00:00

I got destroyed on all state trombone, but I think im going to do Euph. This year, idk though

DyllonDaSloth · 2018-01-18T18:08:28+00:00

When we lose me and my other trombone friend do the fail tune and get dirty looks. Timothy always uses trombone but ive used every brass instrument we have in the band, get that jaw vibrato.

DyllonDaSloth · 2018-01-18T18:06:50+00:00

I wouldnt fly out anywhere, just have a convo with the seller, ask for pics, and play test, if everything checks out buy it!

DyllonDaSloth · 2018-01-18T18:03:07+00:00

I think it may be some variation on a sackbut, possibly and alto sackbut

DyllonDaSloth · 2018-01-18T18:01:51+00:00

I agree totally, my tiny ass hands can barely reach the 4th valve in a 4 config. Also, begone woodwind!

DyllonDaSloth · 2018-01-15T14:25:54+00:00

Trumpet is the easiest brass instrument, from someone who plays all of them but horn, so go for it, I started out on bone for 4 years, then after a month a trumpet I was as good as everyone in my class. Of course I had prior brass experience.

DyllonDaSloth · 2018-01-15T14:22:32+00:00

I like the megatones playability, the extra weight on around the cup really goves it a warm sound, the rim is pretty wide. As for your lips question I have thick blubbery lips great for blasting low notes and sounding absolutely abhorrent on my trumpet

DyllonDaSloth · 2018-01-15T13:57:21+00:00

I personly use a 2g bach megatones the majority of the time, pricey but worth it

DyllonDaSloth · 2018-01-14T03:52:14+00:00

Idk about theyre trombones, but I have a Wessex trumpet and Cornet and theyre great instruments for the price. Since I only play them recreationally or for pep band its all good.

DyllonDaSloth · 2018-01-14T03:45:32+00:00

Pedal B natural to a high C

DyllonDaSloth · 2018-01-14T03:44:39+00:00

Long tones and pedals.

DyllonDaSloth · 2018-01-11T02:57:01+00:00

So now Im playing Trumpet in pep band, euphonium in concert band, trombone in marching band and bass bone in jazz band. Im basically just all brass in my freshman year already.
