Talk:Bass trumpet

Untitled

HI and THANKS to the authors. HOWEVER, I have a problem. What is meant by " It is usually pitched in 8' C or 9' B♭ today " I have a doctoral degree in conducting and teach ensembles, theory and skills, and have no idea. I think it's specific brass playing terminology. Can you describe this, or provide reference to pitch number. Int'l Acoustic Society would be best, where middle C is C4.

Also, there is mention of the tone quality compared to the trombone, but no reason for this. Is it a cylindrical vs. conical bore issue? Thanks! Psmeers (talk) 07:27, 7 March 2010 (UTC)

Thorough overhaul and revision, replete with images of piston and rotary valved bass trumpets in C and B♭. Ed_Solomon 16:05, 29 July 2005 (UTC)

This page needs information and ranges (beginners, easy, common difficulty and professional ranges) for writing/composing for this instrument.~lvb~

Wagner's bass trumpet

I have added some musings of my own on this subject to my Talk page

It would be worthwhile to pick out one notable example. As you know, the Ring is almost 24 hours of music, and in a heavy orchestration with a bloated brass section it can be tough for the average listener to discern a bass trumpet from a bass Wagner tuba, regular tuba, bass trombone, horn in its low range, etc. Willi Gers07 (talk) 17:44, 20 May 2009 (UTC)

Broken Link

The "Friends & Relations: The Bass Trumpet" doesn't work. I'd delete it, but maybe someone wants to try fixing it first if the page has just moved... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.132.125.98 (talk) 15:56, 15 September 2011 (UTC)

Range

An empty "Range" section was just added. Wouldn't it be better to just put the "Range" box on this article, as was done with Trumpet & Cornet? If the range is the same and it reads in treble clef, the same diagram could be used. Special-T (talk) 00:10, 9 November 2020 (UTC)

J.C. Sherman article

J.C. Sherman (tubist and instrument maker based in Cleveland OH) has an interesting essay on his website about the bass trumpet which could inform this article. — Jon (talk) 03:23, 23 August 2022 (UTC)
