You know I was curious if he had the A-B flat rotary trumpet and he does, I also do and I love it.

[DavidAragon]

I can easily now hear the difference between all of the transpositions of trumpet. (Also trying to play a C trumpet myself I got a lot better) Also, the Frumpet still hurts my soul.

[ThomasDawkins]

The only trumpets that I've seen played that aren't included here are high F and C piccolo, and both are pretty rare.

[french]

New intro and outro! Awesome, glad to see them put in :)

[realguy]

Mr. Hamilton... you did it again! Entertaining to the end. Each trumpet segment had my interest, then bam! Final composition of all tones. Haha! Another great segment. Bravo!

[ocularzombie]

there are contrabass trumpets out there, so i can see that it's incomplete.

[loganwooden]

Yamaha and Schilke have made custom E, F, and G high trumpets. They’re expensive but available.

[pitgroove._]

I think two trumpets that you should also add to your trumpet collection are a rotary valve piccolo and a three-valve piccolo of some sorts

[Physicus]

Awesome collection!!! Have you ever thought about trying to obtain a (while it doesn't serve a massive amount of use, and more for very niche places) Piccolo trumpet in C? A few years back I very nearly bought a semi-inexpensive one since I've wanted to play a picc trumpet, and I loved playing the C trumpet for a concert

[PeterGriffin-kbhf]

We still need the tuba series and french horn series


We're waiting.... and we won't leave until we get what we want.

[danflynn]

Yes! Now all we need is that super-piccolo trumpet

[malthuswasright]

Looking forward to the Gb and Db trumpet videos

[DrJoePeters]

Lovely set of trumpets and lovely mixed pitch finale.

[instrumentalheadquarters]

Only main ones your missing are Piccolo in C,
Eb Alto,
Bass(tenor) in C,
And there isnt really any true contrabass trumpets because most of them have a very small bore, or are unwraped tubas, and so on, the closest you can get to a contrabass trumpet is a valved contrabass trombone or cimbasso.

[Android_Warrior]

I like the sound of Trumpet in A, Bb and Piccolo in Bb.

[janecohen]

I too have a two valved bugle in F, except for some reason someone thought it was a good idea to give it one piston valve and one rotor valve.

[Saxshoe]

Hey, this man includes a Soprano Bugle as a trumpet. Let's get em!

[bylokonnor]

Great stuff! It's a shame you couldn't include the tromba marina. (At the Musée de la Musique in Paris, they include it with the trumpets even though it is a stringed instrument because they know that most French people have heard of it from the comedy play by Molière 'Le bourgeois gentilhomme' and will look out for it. It comes across as an extension of the joke about it in the play.)

[bsharpmajorscale]

OK, but now with The Licc.

I kept wanting the bit you played to become the ending of the Sunday Morning intro.

[davidcavazos]

Piccolo trumpet in C? Plus all the rotary/piston/slide variants.
