Bass Trumpet in Action

Rate this Entry
Here is a new video of trombonist Dirk Amrein performing a movement of Mozart's horn concerto on a bass trumpet. The instrument he uses is more in the European style, which uses rotary valves and is configured in a horizontal manner. Companies like Bach also make bass trumpets, but they look more like a traditional American trumpet and use piston valves. This instrument usually has a tenor-trombone-size mouthpiece shank.


The same video is also found among the collection of euphonium or euphonium-related videos here:
