 Sound! Euphonium (響け！ユーフォニアム Hibike! Euphonium) is an anime based on a manga based on a novel or something. It features 4 characters in an afternoon school club animated by Kyoto Animati-blah blah irrelevant let's get down to business. Major Characters: Euphonium  Pitch: Bb Valves: 3 top/1 side Piston Model: Yamaha YEP-621  Played by: Kumiko Oumae The Euphonium is a mid-register brass family valved instrument. Tubing gradually increases in diameter throughout its length, resulting in a softer, gentler tone compared to cylindrical-bore instruments such as the trumpet, trombone and baritone horn (more on this later). However this conical-bore makes intonation, response, and range more difficult to learn and control compared to the other Bb harmonic series horns with equivalent fingerings: trumpet and tuba. The YEP-621 is a discontinued model, but that doesn't mean she isn't any good! Updated models opt for spit valves on the 1st and 3rd slides for convenience over the essentially insignificant tonal quality improvement of smooth tubing. Also the main tuning slide spit valve is redesigned and reversed to help avoid spit condensation from dripping down the valve and onto the user's hands. SPECIAL NOTE: The euphonium absolutely hates, hates, HATES being called or confused with the Baritone horn. Please know the difference! The baritone horn has tubing wrapped tighter, usually only has 3 valves, usually is not silver-plated, may feature a forward facing bell, may have valves above the tubing (British style), and as stated above has a more cylindrical bore until the bell for a lighter and brighter sound. Because of this tubing one intrusive way to tell the difference is to remove the main tuning slide and to try putting it in backwards. If it fits it's a baritone, if not it's a euphonium. This is very embarrassing though; the euphonium is far more classy than her low-life slut cousin. In summary:  Tuba  Size: 4/4 Pitch: BBb (contrabass) Valves: 4 Rotary Model: Yamaha YBB-641  Played by: Hazuki Katou The Tuba is a low-register brass family valved instrument. Tubas come in many different shapes, sizes, and pitches. Due to their flexibility and effective support of bass tones, they are used in a wide variety of musical settings from concert orchestra to marching band and even solo performance. Don't let her size fool you: while tubas are famous for being large and all about the bass, I've seen tubas capable of 7 octaves i.e. higher notes than scrub-level trumpets! Our model in this show is the YBB-641, a standard full size contrabass tuba that's good enough for orchestral use, although C pitch tubas are usually preferred there. Rotary valves are more common for tubas (compared to trumpets and euphoniums which are almost exclusively piston), and choice mostly comes down to player preference and maintenance. But the most important constant across all tuba code of conduct: Never complain about how big or heavy or aching you are. One can always spot a tuba by the empathetic yet slightly conceited look they give other orchestra and band members when they complain about their arms/shoulders/back/whatever hurting like the weak bitches they are. Contrabass (a.k.a. Bass, Acoustic Bass, Double Bass, String Bass, Upright Bass)  Strings: 4 (E1, A1, D2, G2)  Played by: Sapphire Kawashima Who the gently caress cares, not brass. ...oh okay, fine. The Upright Bass is a low-pitch string family instrument equivalent to the tuba. It too has applications across a wide variety of genres, notably orchestra and string ensembles but also jazz and many types of folk music. It's the only string instrument that sounds good both bowed and plucked, with plucking used by default in jazz settings with assistance from a bass amplifier. In fact, somehow the upright bass has become required by definition to legitimatize a non-funk jazz band over other bands using a poser electric bass guitar. One might ask why the standard tuning of a bass is perfect fourths like a guitar/viol instead of perfect fifths like other violin family bowed string instruments? Because gently caress you it's a bass that's why. Trumpet  Pitch: Bb Valves: 3 Piston Model: Yamaha Custom Z Bobby Shew YTR-8310Z  Played by: Reina Kousaka The Trumpet is a high-register brass family valved instrument. Due to its bright tone and loud volume, this instrument is known for being the most powerful and driving force in any musical scenario, short of maybe a drum set or the conductor. Trumpets offer the most technical play compared to euphoniums and tubas, using a wide variety of tonguing and fingering techniques. Mouthpiece selection and play with toys such as mutes are also important parts of the trumpet repertoire. Like tubas, trumpets come in various pitches and sizes. While this show features a standard Bb model, it's no ordinary horn. The YTR-8310Z was custom designed in partnership with Bobby Shew and Yamaha Custom Z series team, featuring a lightweight body and a huge 5" bell. Thinner tapering thickness offers an unprecedented amount of tonal richness with comfortable response. But none of that really matters, nor does any discussion about trumpets without referring to high notes. All trumpets live and die by their upper range, since it has been scientifically proven that trumpets that can hit higher notes have an indisputably larger penis. Playing the trumpet is essentially yelling "SUCK MY DIIIIICK" at everyone within earshot. Minor Characters: 2nd Euphonium  Model: Yamaha YEP-621S  Played by: Asuka Tanaka Looks like the same model as Kumiko but is silver-plated and wearing glasses. Baritone "Bari Sax" Saxophone   Played by: Haruka Ogasawara The sum total contribution to society by bari saxes can be represented by these two videos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WL1hlzLsUaU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nfWlot6h_JM 2nd Trumpet  Model: Yamaha  Played by: Kaori Nakaseko Trombone  Model: Yamaha YSL-882  Played by: Shuuichi Tsukamoto The worst designed brass instrument. Almost. It's edged out by the French Horn on the account of the trombone being actually usable.

Oh damnit I forgot a sentence on if they show any trumpet player spinning a trumpet with the 3rd valve slide ring they immediately become the undisputed best character and character with the largest dick. Well consider this post the ultimatum. edit: oh, I remember why I took that out; it's when I noticed all the Yamahas being used, which I don't think the slide lock is good enough for spinning. So the moral of the story is buy a better trumpet. AnacondaHL fucked around with this message at 07:48 on Mar 1, 2015 |

By the way, the most proper way for a trumpet to play in concert orchestra is to get a high F or G trumpet and play as loud and bright as possible.

Sometime recently the website got redesigned, including a section specifically for the instruments. I should have offered to write this webpage for them. http://anime-eupho.com/instrument/ Fun fact I learned today: Japanese picked up the Italian word for "bassoon" as a loan word, making one of the most unfortunate instruments even more unfortunate. The character list got updated too, and is now more of a mapping: http://anime-eupho.com/character/chart/ Yes_Cantaloupe posted:I am immensely disappointed at the lack of percussion. Dropped. They are now listed in the instrument section! But... a kitten posted:Even though this show is about brass instruments, i hope that they can find room for the girl who plays the giant hammer. ...no character listed yet!

OP has been updated with the confirmed 2nd Euphonium and 2nd Trumpet models.ChubbyThePhat posted:4-valve tuba. The best character has been decided. I don't think they even make legit 3 valve tubas anymore. 5 valve is the sweet spot; 6 and 7 valvers are trying way too hard to be hipster. And they're so expensive that they're just using the same model for all 3 tuba characters lol.

Yes_Cantaloupe posted:I was always in the back (percussion) so I couldn't hear them play, but the actual folks who played French Horn in my high school were some of the chillest motherfuckers in the band. You have to be the chillest to deal with an instrument that's so unnecessarily frustrating. Pretty sure the best use of a french horn I saw was a makeshift bong. On the plus side, if you went out with the "senior french horn girl" you shot to the top of the band weirdo social pyramid.

As one who played both trumpet and percussion among other things, I too can confirm that playing percussion is essentially doing the jack-off motion at everyone to various degrees, with the crash cymbals being actual ejaculation at anyone within earshot.

I can't believe they actually got a band to sound like a high school band i.e. kinda sucky. I can't believe they dedicated the first half of the first episode to the main character immediately pointing this out and dwelling on it. I can't believe they did the learning how to buzz on a mouthpiece thing.

Also, after 4 episodes I can safely say KyoAni can't draw faces/mouths right of characters when they are playing brass instruments. The embouchure is all wrong and they aren't frowning enough.

The "catching up with an old middle school buddy at the marching band competition while in uniform" scene was unbelievably accurate. This whole show (and the stories shared in the thread) make me want to buy thank you gifts for my old band teachers for being not-terrible.

Please don't post spoilers from the books. OP updated with the songs used though 7 episodes: 暴れん坊将軍のテーマ (Theme from Abarenbo Shogun) Orpheus in the Underworld (Can-Can) by Jacques Offenbach 海兵隊 (The Marines' Hymn) Symphony No 9 in E minor, Op 95 by Antonín Dvořák The Fairest of the Fair by John Philip Sousa Funiculi Funicula by Luigi Denza RYDEEN by Yellow Magic Orchestra (orchestral) 三日月の舞／堀川奈美恵 (Crescent Moon Dance by Namie Horikawa) mentioned but not played yet: マーチ「プロヴァンスの風」／田坂 直樹 (March "Wind of Provence" by Naoki Tanaka) If anyone can find a recording of Crescent Moon Dance that'd be great.
