trombones

[Todd S. Malicoate]

I played some bass trombone today with a pretty good 24-piece trombone choir. It was easy to impress them young-un's with a double pedal Bb on the last note of Pines of Rome. Suckers.

Only a double valve horn can be played PERFECTLY in tune.

Sorry, it takes at least 6 valves, or so we've been told...

Face the music.

Only a double valve horn can be played PERFECTLY in tune.

ANY type of horn can be played perfectly in tune. All it takes is good ears and the right adjustments.

MOST horns can play in tune to a well-tempered scale. All it takes is a tuner.

[Bob Kolada]

I mean chromatically.

' haven't ever been able to decide whether I prefer Nathan or Buell...

Maybe Nathan-Chevy / Buell-Ford...What you do YOU think?

The second of the two, by a wide margin.

I like to get that for my motorcycle.

This is off track but regardless. I bought one of these Denis Wick Fiber mutes and I must say that I am impressed. It fits nicely in my bass and my tenor trombone. The sound is clearer, IMHO, than the stonelined mute. And it's CHEAP!!!! I payed 18.00 CAD$ with taxes.

So, if you are in the market for a mute, have a look at the wick. Here is the Amazon link:

And, it matches the Denis Wick gold plated trombone mouthpiece: http://www.amazon.com/Denis-Wick-DW4880 ... 266&sr=8-8.
