Jazz for aficionados
Few years ago watched documentary about Steinway piano manufacture, very interesting. I had no idea that pianos, even from the same ’series’ all sound different. Is that also the case with the brass instruments? (of same model,make and series) Here is simmilar documentary, much shorter, about Steinway https://youtu.be/WTbdCIZ3W48 |
@Jazz Queen Very nice 'what love is'. Once again by people unknown. I need to get out more. Just received a copy of The 40th anniversary CD of WAR's, 'The World is a Ghetto.' These 4 songs were added to the anniversary CD. They Did not appear on the 1972 recording. You like the Blues? 58 blues https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=87fI8zwsfQI war is coming (blues version) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y0uytyTADT8 freight train jam https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tk9Ep37Vllc the world is a ghetto (rehearsal take) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=51jT1wjMOTY Cheers |
Alex, yes they do all sound different. Sometimes very subtly so, but even more important to the player they all respond and feel different. A very personal choice. Some players like a little more resistance, a little “fight” in the response when they blow into the horn and others like a more free less resistant feeling. Sometimes it just feels right for one’s way of playing and it better allows the player to create and shape the sound that he wants. |
The trumpet my dad gave me was a Getzen Super Deluxe. Everyone could hear that the Getzen was brighter and more strident than our favorite, a band member's Conn, which had a sweeter, more mellow tone. We experimented by trading horns and even mouthpieces, but it quickly became obvious the horns themselves had very different sounds. Vive la difference. No need to explain it, right? |
