Members Hunter6 Posted June 24, 2008 Members Share Posted June 24, 2008 [YOUTUBE]PV6oWWssqTo[/YOUTUBE] Pardon the not-so-great sound quality, but how in the HELL does the trombone player get such a french-horn like timbre at 4:16!? It'd be really great to be able to get a sound like that to add some different textures to my music, so if anyone's got any insight, please help? P.S. Y'all should watch the whole video, it's pretty sweet. EDIT: Also, what is the Alto Sax player doing around 1:05? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sunburstbasser Posted June 24, 2008 Members Share Posted June 24, 2008 Sounds to me like he's just laying back a bit and backing off. If his trombone has an exceptionally large bell, it may help getting a horn-like sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jonathan_matos5 Posted June 24, 2008 Members Share Posted June 24, 2008 put his hand in the bell and play all the wrong notes? yeah, he is laying back a bit. changing the shape of the oral cavity effects the timbre more than the bell size. but not as much as the bell shape. more specifically,to make that sound i would be shape my mouth like im saying an "au" syllable like the word "naughty". keep the jaw relaxed as possible. and let the air do the work. here is an exercise you can do if you have your trombone. pick a note that is comfortable for you to play. and change the shape of your mouth while playing a long tone holding the same pitch. try shaping your mouth like you were to say the name of the letters A*E*I*O*U then try the consonant sounds ah, eh, ih, au, oo. and listen how it changes the sound.
