Actually Don, it's Jens Lindemann and he made it this fall on a trip to Japan.

You can access it by going to: http://www.yamaha.com/band

At the bottom of the page you will see a link. It is a very interesting video which shows not only how trumpets are made, but clips of Jen's playing.

Check it out!

I just watched it a little over an hour ago. I followed Happy Canuck's advice and clicked on the link at the bottom of the Yamaha main page.

Very well done and interesting. It takes some of the mystery out of how our instruments are made.

AHHAHAHAH. SO funny! I love the part where he steals the pocket trumpet. I never even knew about this guy before! OMG! Time to go buy some CDs...

How cool was this! Thanks for the heads up Don!

My problem was that I was tuning him out and listening to the soundtrack...he had some hot playing in the background. Jazz Piccolo and whatnot. I wonder how long it took him to get everyones name right?

Great Post.

I was thinking about the names too. I wonder if they has someone prompting him. I guess I never realized how fine a player he is - let alone what a great personality. A great video. A lot more goes into making a trumpet then I thought.

Excellent video, as good as Dominics Callichio video tha appears in his web site and Kanstul Photos of trumpet craft. The question is If Bach and UMI can present similars videos of their supossed quality. Thanks

I was wondering if the guy at the end of the assembly line that plays a couple scales and diddles a bit to make sure the horn plays well gets to espouse the "rest as much as you play" philosophy to his employer

about 10 years ago i had a video i taped off PBS called sounding brass. it was an hour long tour of the Bach factory, the monette shop (still in chicago then) cliff blackburns shop and the steve lewis horn shop. it showed how horns are made from start to finish and featured the empire brass, bud and john henes trying horns at monettes, blackburn making and playing horns, wynton trying the first monette piccs, ron blais playing a solo with the air force band, just a great great video. i lent it to bob sullivan and he never gave it back to me. anybody got a copy?

Here's where to get a copy of that video... Sounding Brass

http://gpn.unl.edu/gene_series.asp?catalog%5Fname=GPN&category%5Fname=Sounding+Brass&product%5Fid=203%2E386

Sounding Brass, produced by University of Nebraska-Lincoln Television in 1989, is a 60-minute program that profiles four instrument makers, studies their work and presents performances by top musicians playing the finished musical instruments. The program visits with workers at a factory in Elkhart, Indiana, where a variety of brass instruments — from trumpets to tubas — are made, through a combination of mass production and delicate handwork.

Just been re-watching this (for about the 5th time), is it possible to purchase those tiny (piccolino?) trumpets?

If so, where from?

I play in a very silly group where this would be the perfect trumpet to use.

It looked a lot smaller than pocket trumpets or piccolo trumpets (and much higher pitched), if anyone has any information about the availability of those little beauties I would be very, very, very grateful (buy you a beer in Denver!)

Cool video! I especially like the part at the end where they test play the horns! Jens had them jam'm American style!

At then when they are play testing the horns and Jens and the tester start jamming, I thought it was about the corniest thing in the world since that's the same little ditty we played in high school marching band during time outs (Go Big Insert-Color-of-your-School-Here) and also in college now (Cheer #6). Then Jens started adding variations and my jaw dropped.

Trivia of the Day: That little ditty they were playing is the trombone part during the swing section of Sleigh Ride by Leroy Anderson.
