    "The girth of my excellence is too much to swallow" Love this quote
  • This is quite possibly the pinnacle of Kiwi-made brass instruments this decade.
  • @shogun2215
    The number of Top Gear references was astounding. And all done without punching the producer.
  • @JennyEverywhere
    Dude, you're looking sharp lately. Whatever you're doing, keep it up!
  • @tsakeboya
    I haven't watched your channel for half a year now due to some circumstances. But I've gotta say, HOLY SHEEET have you lost weight! I genuinely didn't expect that!
  • @akswrkzvyuu7jhd
    And now the Quest begins for a mouthpiece worthy of the Super-Piccolo Trumpet!
  • @thomasrice4078
    Yes, inquiring minds have spend many sleepless nights dreaming of a super piccolo trumpet. It's now in existence, and sadly there becomes no further hurdles for mankind. Life became dull today.
  • Trent, now you just made the life harder of us orchestration professors everywhere...next time one of my composition students writes a PPP double C on an orchestral trumpet part, I cannot even mark them down, because they will say, "won't they just switch to super-piccolo at that moment?"
  • I feel as though this instrument answers a question that no one asked 😁
  • I'm actually quite impressed that you were able to get any sound out of that at all! Quite entertaining and now the world's trumpet makers have something to think about.
  • @keyshialee1585
    it sounds like that noise a balloon makes when you slowly let air leak out of it, except at different pitches. Or, like if you gave Alvin and the Chipmunks a trumpet.

    Finally, a competitor to the market standard for that range (the five valve Wiggles Trumpet)!
  • @arisowizard7178
    I've actually been waiting for a video like this for very long...If you can ever manage to get your hands on a tuba lower than a contrabass tuba, I'd be honoured to see you play it
  • I wasn’t aware that Jeremy Clarkson had a cousin from New Zealand that was a musician but the evidence is all there
  • @BruceEEvans1
    May I suggest the word piccolino for your new instrument?
  • @jamiibear
    Now all that's left is to bring it up a fourth and put it in Eb
  • Mr. Hamilton, wow! You’ve done it again. You’re a genius. However I am intrigued by the image at 2:28 on the left of the screen. Yes, the first valve . . . Rotate the tube clockwise 90° and fashion a bell 81.4 mm long and 37.777mm in diameter then fashion a lead-pipe for the other port (on the left). Take special care to get the taper right and find the correct “gap”. Voila a Triple Pickle-O Trumpet!

    Trent! I know you've probably heard it enough already, but congrats on the weight loss! I haven't tuned in to your videos since years ago, and it's a delight to see. Keep up the amazing work.
