Members Thumper Posted December 22, 2007 Members Share Posted December 22, 2007 Nice video. I've often wondered 'how do those artisans create such a complex instrument?'... Not. OK, I'm kidding. I'm impressed with the craftsmanship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jasper383 Posted December 22, 2007 Members Share Posted December 22, 2007 Have you ever played a Shires? Very,very nice. They aren't $8000, though, more like $3-4000. Are you talking about a special custom model? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you talking about a special custom model? ive played them and they are worth every penny yes i had me an estimate on a bass bone done when i was searching for a college horn. i ended up going cheap with a $1500 eastman same designer made in China instead of Canukistan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sludgebass69 Posted December 22, 2007 Members Share Posted December 22, 2007 Jeez, I hate that show, although I did get some great insight.......like learning that 9' of tubing if straightened out would reach from the floor to the ceiling...

Members PaulyWally Posted December 22, 2007 Members Share Posted December 22, 2007 That was cool. Thanks! I'm always amazed watching instrument makers do their thing. BTW, what's the difference between a turtle and a trombone player walking down the road? The turtle is on his way to a gig... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members sunburstbasser Posted December 22, 2007 Members Share Posted December 22, 2007 how does schilke do it? Schilke-One piece bells, which means that the bell flare is not attached separately. Bending tubes-Schilke fills the tubes with pitch, then melts it out rather than using ice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members lokidecat Posted December 22, 2007 Members Share Posted December 22, 2007 I miss playing my lower brass instruments. I sold my Besson euphonium when I moved from Ohio to Oregon, and I regret it so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Jazz Ad Posted December 22, 2007 Members Share Posted December 22, 2007 "the only instrument where hand changes length to alter pitch"This guy ever heard of bass ?

Or any string instrument for that matter ?Great documentary anyway. You're mincing words. The equivalent of a string to a brass instrument would be valves, which shorten the length of tubing by depressing it with the finger. You aren't stretching your bass' neck or altering the string itself to change your tone, only changing how much of the string is in use. =P dork.
