    Well here are a few suggestions
    - Trombone with violin bow
    - Violin with glockenspiel mellet
    - Glockenspiel with tuba mouthpiece
    - Tuba with piano hammer
    - Piano with organ wind
    - Organ with guitar plectrum
    - Guitar with oboe reed
    - Oboe with double bass bow
    - Double bass with a crash cymbal

    The more appropriate brass mouthpiece for the Bb Clarinet (which has 1st registry root Eb3 and 2nd registry root Bb4) is the french-horn mouthpiece of 16,5mm or the alto Eb3 horn mouthpiece of 20mm, but better the French horn mouthpiece which is good for the clarinet in both octaves the lower and the higher.

    PDQ Bach used a bassoon Reed and crook in a trombone quite successfully during the 1960s. In that instance it was dubbed the "Tromboon". The sax with the trombone mouthpiece basically recreated the Ophecleide, and sounded a bit like one. Overall, an interesting experiment. Thanks for posting.

      I can only assume it's because the trombone is too long for a tenor sax reed to vibrate properly. I'd like to see if you used a bigger sax mouthpiece, like bari sax, on a shorter trombone, like alto trombone, if that would work better

    There is another conclusion that one might draw, which is that the mouthpiece of an instrument is designed to the range of frequencies that the instrument typically plays. If you're going to try mixing the mouthpieces among brass, woodwinds and flutes, try to match the instrument with the mouthpiece of an instrument from the other family that is capable of the same range of notes.

  • @84953
    @84953 Před 6 lety

    Love the experimenting. This is really interesting as particularly with the baritone/trombone mouthpiece on the sax. It demonstrates how much of the classic sound of the instrument is from the design of the instrument AND the mouthpiece. I'm not surprised that the flute head didn't work on the brass as the air flow through that is not enough to "tickle" the metal in the larger instruments. The same thing would happen if you had a leaking spit valve on trumpet, trombone, or baritone.

    Some clarinet players are known to buzz the barrel without the brass mouthpiece. It works quite well. A" whistle shaped lips" embosure is used to play the clarinet lie an end blown flute such as ney, shakuhachi, etc. Since you also play soprano brass, you might trry to buzz the saxophone neck. That also works quite well. All of this is a revisit to the development of aerophones. Cheers. Nearly forgot, if you raise your tongue directing the airstream up in the saxophone mouthpiece you may be able to produce a harmonic above the tone played on the bass trombone. I might have used a smaller trombone in demonstration.

      H. Akb, I play the bassoon and I believe that only a French horn mouthpiece would fit on the bocal because without a vocal you could not fit any mouthpiece into the wing joint on its iwn

  • @timothytikker1147
    @timothytikker1147 Před 5 lety +1

    Since the trombone has a cylindrical bore, by putting a reed mouthpiece on it you are basically turning it into a slide clarinet. That drops the pitch by an octave. So those ultra-low pitches you're getting are real, just are in the 16' and 32' range. Essentially, you have a contrabass, even octo-contrabass clarinet. As an organist (who also plays clarinet), I can assure you that those lowest notes have a musical purpose, just so long as they are doubled by upper octaves to give them pitch definition -- which is how such low pitches are used in organs. To access upper range, you probably need a register key, as is found on a clarinet or saxophone.

I can remember that the Bassoon double reed mouth piece was hilarious on the trumpet. Band instructor came in the room and simply went about business, like nothing out of the ordinary was going on. Yeah, he was a cool dude.

  • @metoyen
    @metoyen Před 9 lety +11

    Actually, wasn't a "trombone" mouthpiece used on a sax in the early 19th century--it was called an ophicleide. Today's players of the ophicleide are fantastic--Tony George, Nick Bryne, and others.

    • @TrentHamilton
      @TrentHamilton  Před 9 lety +6

      Metoyen no, the ophicleide is different to a sax - completely different type of instrument :)

    • @RolandHutchinson
      @RolandHutchinson Před 7 lety +2

      Not all THAT different! Made of brass (or similar metal) with a conical bore, large toneholes, similar-sized mouthpiece to the trombone (usually more conical, though, I think), and not an altogether dissimilar tone color to what you got out of that poor sax (whose length is not much more than half that of a bass ophicleide).
      There's even a (probably unfounded, but still plausible) legend that Adolph Sax got the idea for the saxophone by messing around with a reed mouthpiece on an ophicleide.

    trumpet body with a clarinet mouthpiece gives you something around a bass clarinet register which is pretty cool but i guess you'd have to be pretty good with overtones on a clarinet/sax to get anything other than the 8 or so notes the valves offer you

    • @fantabulastical1719
      @fantabulastical1719 Před 8 lety +2

      +Leslie Rose Well it would have to be a really small mouth piece to fit on the trumpet. Maybe a soprano or something I'm not sure because alto sax mouthpiece doesn't fit on the trumpet so the soprano sax might fit. If not then any sax higher than soprano I've never actually gotten to hold or play.

    • @fantabulastical1719
      @fantabulastical1719 Před 8 lety
