Members sunburstbasser Posted September 15, 2007 Author Members Share Posted September 15, 2007 "Omega" was the name Bach used to use for their intermediate line of instruments. Maybe 15-20 years ago, they dropped the non-Strad lines that were named and replaced them with numbered ones. 200s are intermediates, and I think 300s are students. Otherwise, they aren't any different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Hunter6 Posted September 15, 2007 Members Share Posted September 15, 2007 Only one, sadly. But that might be because I've only been playing for like 3 or 4 months.I'm sure I'll have a few more horns in a year or two... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members jonathan_matos5 Posted September 16, 2007 Members Share Posted September 16, 2007 we are supposed to have more than one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sunburstbasser Posted September 16, 2007 Author Members Share Posted September 16, 2007 Of course. For trombone, you'd have a bass trombone, a tenor, a tenor with F attachment, a tenor with a sound better suited to jazz, and a Superbone. For trumpet, its Bb, C, picc, Eb, flugel, and cornet. For Indo, Firebirds! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MarkZ Posted September 17, 2007 Members Share Posted September 17, 2007 Whoa, SB, I just noticed your amended sig and I have to say that I love it. If you really need an absolutely complete trumpet arsenal:Bb piston (maybe 2 or 3 differently voiced)Bb rotaryC pistonC rotaryDEb (and not necessarily an Eb/D)E (for playing the Hummel in its historically accurate key)FGBb/A piccoloBb flugelhornEb flugelhorn (if you're playing in a British brass band)Bb cornetC cornet (Phil Smith plays one, IIRC for some posthorn solos like "Pines of Rome". If you're not Phil Smith, you probably don't need one.)Natural trumpet I can't remember what pieces call for F and G trumpets. I know there was a recent eBay sale of a Schilke G trumpet for $2600. Someone must have needed it. Rotary trumpets are becoming requirements for auditioning for top symphonies. For the current NYP 2nd trumpet audition, the excerpt list specified which pieces were to be played on rotary. I know someone with a rotary piccolo. It definitely sounds different than, say, a Schilke P5-4. I don't see a reason for owning a bass trumpet but there's probably some Wagner piece that calls for one.

Members soundministries Posted September 17, 2007 Members Share Posted September 17, 2007 Bb flugelhornEb flugelhorn (if you're playing in a British brass band)Bb cornet. Sorry, but one correction, Bb flugelhorn, Bb cornet, and Eb Cornet for brass bands. Brass bands use one Eb soprano and one Bb flugel in a traditional set up. Have never seen an Eb flugel, but it would be fun:thu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd sure love to try a couple rotary trumpets. I'm going to NAMM in January again, I guess I'll know what to look for! I think Scherzer is one of the more well-known rotary picc trumpet makers. IIRC, Allison Balsom used one for some of her recordings and sounded really fantastic. And I figured if the guy with his name on the horn won't stand behind it, I shouldn't be pushing them TOO hard. But hey, Zig is pretty damn old. He'll be dead before too long, and then it'll be OK to buy new Kanstuls. I only feel bad because he does have some very great guys working for him.

IIRC, Allison Balsom used one for some of her recordings and sounded really fantastic. That's the rotary picc I referenced. It's a great sounding instrument. The local guy who has one is a trumpet retailer/repairman with access to just about everything this side of Monette. It has a more round, "large horn" sound than the more common Schilke or Selmer. If you've heard the difference between a rotary Bb or C vs. piston, it's what you'd expect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
