I can see a large degree of difficulty keeping enough pressure on the mouthpiece. I guess a person can get used to anything with enough practice.
If I only had one arm I think I would choose a valve trombone and just forget the glisses!
One-handed trombone

Re: One-handed trombone
Dan, I often let my trombone students hold my horn for me while I play lip slurs to show them how little pressure they should be using, especially in the high range... it really doesn't take that much to make a seal.TubaTinker wrote:I can see a large degree of difficulty keeping enough pressure on the mouthpiece.
