  • Brass Teacherõs Guide
    Teacher’s Guide Brass ® by Robert W.Getchell, Ph. D. Foreword This manual includes only the information most pertinent to the techniques of teaching and playing the instruments of the brass family. Its principal objective is to be of practical help to the instrumental teacher whose major instrument is not brass. In addition, the contents have purposely been arranged to make the manual serve as a basic text for brass technique courses at the college level. The manual should also help the brass player to understand the technical possibilities and limitations of his instrument. But since it does not pretend to be an exhaustive study, it should be supplemented in this last purpose by additional explanation from the instructor or additional reading by the student. General Characteristics of all Brass Instruments Of the many wind instruments, those comprising the brass family are perhaps the most closely interrelated as regards principles of tone production, embouchure, and acoustical characteristics. A discussion of the characteristics common to all brass instruments should be helpful in clarifying certain points concerning the individual instruments of the brass family to be discussed later. TONE PRODUCTION. The principle of tone production in brass instruments is the lip-reed principle, peculiar to instruments of the brass family, and characterized by the vibration of the lip or lips which sets the sound waves in motion. One might describe the lip or lips as the generator, the tubing of the instrument as the resonator, and the bell of the instrument as the amplifier. EMBOUCHURE. It is imperative that prospective brass players be carefully selected, as perhaps the most important measure of success or failure in a brass player, musicianship notwithstanding, is the degree of flexibility and muscular texture in his lips.

  • Baritones and Euphoniums*
    OpenStax-CNX module: m12650 1 Baritones and Euphoniums* Catherine Schmidt-Jones This work is produced by OpenStax-CNX and licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution License 1.0 1 Introduction Baritones and euphoniums are aerophones in the brass family. They are closely related instruments, both fairly large and with a medium-low range. They are generally not considered orchestral instruments, but are an important part of the Western band tradition. 2 The Instruments Like other instruments in the brass family, baritones and euphoniums are played by buzzing the lips against a cup mouthpiece. The air then moves through the brass tubing and leaves through the bell at the other end of the instrument. The valves change the playing length of the instrument, making it possible to play several harmonic series that together allow the instrument to play any chromatic note in its range. For more on how brass instruments work, please see Wind Instruments: Some Basics, Standing Waves and Wind Instruments, and Harmonic Series.) Baritones and euphoniums are valved brass instruments that have a range similar to the slide trombone, higher than a tuba and about an octave below the trumpet. The valved tenor-range brass instruments are a slightly confusing group of instruments. They are usually held upright, with the bell pointing either straight up or up-and-forward, but they may also be shaped like a very large trumpet, held horizontally with the bell pointing forward. They may have three, four, or sometimes even ve valves. Baritone and euphonium are recognized in Britain as being two dierent instruments, but in the U.S.

  • Instruments of the Orchestra
    INSTRUMENTS OF THE ORCHESTRA String Family WHAT: Wooden, hollow-bodied instruments strung with metal strings across a bridge. WHERE: Find this family in the front of the orchestra and along the right side. HOW: Sound is produced by a vibrating string that is bowed with a bow made of horse tail hair. The air then resonates in the hollow body. Other playing techniques include pizzicato (plucking the strings), col legno (playing with the wooden part of the bow), and double-stopping (bowing two strings at once). WHY: Composers use these instruments for their singing quality and depth of sound. HOW MANY: There are four sizes of stringed instruments: violin, viola, cello and bass. A total of forty-four are used in full orchestras. The string family is the largest family in the orchestra, accounting for over half of the total number of musicians on stage. The string instruments all have carved, hollow, wooden bodies with four strings running from top to bottom. The instruments have basically the same shape but vary in size, from the smaller VIOLINS and VIOLAS, which are played by being held firmly under the chin and either bowed or plucked, to the larger CELLOS and BASSES, which stand on the floor, supported by a long rod called an end pin. The cello is always played in a seated position, while the bass is so large that a musician must stand or sit on a very high stool in order to play it. These stringed instruments developed from an older instrument called the viol, which had six strings.

  • Instrument Descriptions
    RENAISSANCE INSTRUMENTS Shawm and Bagpipes The shawm is a member of a double reed tradition traceable back to ancient Egypt and prominent in many cultures (the Turkish zurna, Chinese so- na, Javanese sruni, Hindu shehnai). In Europe it was combined with brass instruments to form the principal ensemble of the wind band in the 15th and 16th centuries and gave rise in the 1660’s to the Baroque oboe. The reed of the shawm is manipulated directly by the player’s lips, allowing an extended range. The concept of inserting a reed into an airtight bag above a simple pipe is an old one, used in ancient Sumeria and Greece, and found in almost every culture. The bag acts as a reservoir for air, allowing for continuous sound. Many civic and court wind bands of the 15th and early 16th centuries include listings for bagpipes, but later they became the provenance of peasants, used for dances and festivities. Dulcian The dulcian, or bajón, as it was known in Spain, was developed somewhere in the second quarter of the 16th century, an attempt to create a bass reed instrument with a wide range but without the length of a bass shawm. This was accomplished by drilling a bore that doubled back on itself in the same piece of wood, producing an instrument effectively twice as long as the piece of wood that housed it and resulting in a sweeter and softer sound with greater dynamic flexibility. The dulcian provided the bass for brass and reed ensembles throughout its existence. During the 17th century, it became an important solo and continuo instrument and was played into the early 18th century, alongside the jointed bassoon which eventually displaced it.

  • Dr. Davidson's Recommendations for Trombones
    Dr. Davidson’s Recommendations for Trombones, Mouthpieces, and Accessories Disclaimer - I’m not under contract with any instrument manufacturers discussed below. I play an M&W 322 or a Greenhoe Optimized Bach 42BG for my tenor work, and a Courtois 131R alto trombone. I think the M&W and Greenhoe trombones are the best instruments for me. Disclaimer aside, here are some possible recommendations for you. Large Bore Tenors (.547 bore) • Bach 42BO: This is an open-wrap F-attachment horn. I’d get the extra light slide, which I believe is a bit more durable, and, if possible, a gold brass bell. The Bach 42B was and is “the gold standard.” Read more here: http://www.conn-selmer.com/en-us/our-instruments/band- instruments/trombones/42bo/ • M&W Custom Trombones: Two former Greenhoe craftsman/professional trombonists formed their own company after Gary Greenhoe retired and closed his store. The M&W Trombones are amazing works of art, and are arguably the finest trombones made. The 322 or 322-T (T is for “Tuning-in Slide”) models are the tenor designations. I’m really a fan of one of the craftsman, Mike McLemore – he’s as good as they come. Consider this. These horns will be in-line, price-wise, with the Greenhoe/Edwards/Shires horns – they’re custom made, and will take a while to make and for you to receive them. That said, they’re VERY well-made. www.customtrombones.com • Yamaha 882OR: The “R” in the model number is important here – this is the instrument designed by Larry Zalkind, professor at Eastman, and former principal trombonist of the Utah Symphony.

  • Mouthpiece Catalog
    14 A CUP DIAMETER RIM CONTOUR CUP VOLUME 4 a BACKBORE Model mm inches Description A small cup diameter with shallow “A” cup 5A4 15.84 .624 and semi-flat rim offers comfort and resistance in the upper register. A shallow “A” cup with cushion #4 rim for 6A4a 15.99 .630 extreme high register work. Excellent for the player with thin lips. A #4 rim 7B4 16.08 .633 provides good endurance with a brilliant tone. The slightly funnel-shaped cup at the entrance 8A4 16.25 .640 to the throat provides a good tone and the #4 semi-flat rim gives superior endurance. The deep funnel-shaped cup provides 8E2 16.15 .636 a smooth tone and is very flexible in all registers. Recommended for cornet players. Standard characteristics allow for a full 9 16.33 .643 penetrating tone quality. Like the 9, however the #4 semi-flat rim 9C4 16.36 .644 provides excellent endurance. The combination of the shallow “A” cup, semi- 10A4a 16.43 .647 flat #4 rim and tight “a” backbore assists with upper register work. Same as the 10A4a but with a standard “c” 10A4 16.43 .647 backbore, which offers less resistance. A medium-small funnel-shaped “B” cup offers 10B4 16.43 .647 both a quality sound and support in the upper register. This rim size and contour is similar to the 11 11A 16.51 .650 but with a shallower “A” cup. This model was developed for the Schilke piccolo trumpets. The “x” backbore improves the 11Ax 16.51 .650 ease of playing and opens up the sound on the piccolo.

  • Euphonium, Baritone, Or ??? by David Werden (From
    Euphonium, Baritone, or ??? by David Werden (from www.dwerden.com) When I was in high school, my parents decided to buy a new instrument for me to replace the student model I had been using. The music store showed me a top of the line King 3-valve "baritone." The salesman said it was a fine instrument, but if I was a serious player, I should spend another $80. For the extra money I would get not a mere baritone, but a genuine ***E*U*P*H*O*N*I*U*M***. When I asked what the difference was he explained that a baritone has three valves, while a euphonium has four. He also told me that a euphonium has a different bore, and sounds nicer that a baritone. I ordered the more expensive instrument. As the years passed, I learned that the only difference between those two horns was the extra valve. The salesman wasn’t trying to mislead me--he was simply as confused as most people about the difference between a baritone and a euphonium. Over the years I have heard many incorrect explanations of this difference. Some are: a euphonium has four valves, a baritone three; if it’s in a bass clef it’s a euphonium, if it’s in treble clef it’s a baritone; a baritone is little euphonium; a baritone has the bell pointed forward, a euphonium points up; and (attributed to Robert King) a euphonium is a baritone played well. This confusion of names may contribute to the somewhat anonymous nature of my chosen instrument.

  • Foreword It Is the Mouthpiece Which Provides the Vital Connection
    Foreword It is the mouthpiece which provides the vital connection between the musician and his or her wind instrument. Therefore, the mouthpiece must then meet the most personal and critical demands of fine adjustment in order to achieve the desired tonal color, flexibility and sense of well-being on the instrument. While a student, it became clear to me that the right choice of equipment provides decisive help in achieving musical goals. It also became apparent that I had met the prerequisites for carrying out the task of designing innovative and qualitative mouthpieces, namely; (1) having advanced musical training (Conservatory of Linz, Vienna Music University), and (2) having the proper mechanical knowledge (completed apprenticeship in a technical sector). Now, as a professional musician, I am confronted daily with meeting the challenge of making mechanical adjustments for various physical and musical demands. This being the case, it is easier for me to identify with the problems and wishes of colleagues, and to find proper solutions to their problems. The Catalog Recognizing that my developmental work is constantly proceeding – and that I can draw on the experiences of many customers – I feel that it is now necessary to select and provide an overview of the present variety of products. Special niche products are to be put to the side (but not completely cancelled) in order to present the advantages of the more popular mouthpieces. Revisions (especially on trombone mouthpieces) have been labeled, and improvements described. Now I can only hope that you can find a fitting combination among my products that meets your needs.
