How brass instruments work - Al Cannon

video description

Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1

What gives the trumpet its clarion ring and the tuba its gut shaking oompah-pah? And what makes the trombone so jazzy? Al Cannon shows how these answers lie not in the brass the instruments are made of, but in the journey that air takes from the musicians lungs to the instruments bell. Lesson by Al Cannon

Well yeah close enough I guess. The brass player doesnt need to fill their entire lungs, but enough air to play relative to the instrument and the note being played instead. Also while they player does buzz their lips, they arent making a forced effort to keep their lips closed.
Good video anyway

Basically the musician buzzes their lips into the mouthpiece
Also no talk of cylindrical vs conical bore. Oh and uh trombones arent really more jazzy than anything else so.
