Honestly, yeah, I've heard a ton of trombones sound much smoother than still. Still fantastic and enjoyable though.

That's awesome! Not only is that smooth AF, but I'm watching Charlie & the Chocolate Factory on TNT right now.

Uh, yeah. A few kids in my high school were definitely that smooth. This guys is incredible but I think the title is a bit condescending

Did a recording session in a symphony orchestra; the visiting conductor was a brass player himself. So yes, and a bit more. Eventually. :-)

Yeah, things can be worthwhile without having to be the best. I don't know why people seem to feel the need to overhype things.

Jimmy Pankow! Hoss plays trombone better in the trumpet range than Lee Loughnane does on the trumpet!

I'm not going within 10 miles of anything called "dick shearer."

Why do they call you Dick shearer? "Tragic accident with my trombone as a teen. No further questions...".

Ohhhhh! Those are names and stuff. I thought you were having a stronk? Was about to call a bondulance.

As a trombonist, yes. But I always love and appreciate smooth trombone. Upvote for you

As a euphonium player, I can do that too, but nobody gives a fuck. It's all about lip control...

5 years ago | Likes 10 Dislikes 0

About me, not the trombonist. Everyone loves the trombonist. Then I show up with my 'not a tuba' and people just stare...

5 years ago | Likes 6 Dislikes 0

No, you’re right. Euphoniums are ignored. I feel for my brass brothers

Do you find something funny about the word tromboner?

5 years ago | Likes 17 Dislikes 0

As a tromboner, yes. Been riding that name since 6th grade.

5 years ago | Likes 11 Dislikes 0

So, serious question, but how in the ever loving fuck do you learn to play notes and songs on one of these things?! Seriously no idea how...

5 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 0

7 main slide positions and you can play multiple different notes in each depending on what you do with your lips.

5 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

There are slide positions. You kinda just go “where is the slide handle compared to the bell?” Then it becomes muscle memory

5 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Instead of answering your question, here's a joke: A trombone player is always theoretically in tune, never actually in tune.

5 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Muscle memory. The same way you learn to make notes on a fretless guitar or a violin/viola/cello. I played trombone in highschool

5 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

I started playing before my first growthspurt and at that time 7th position was at my fingertips (arm fully extended)

5 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

I grew and for a while afterwards I kept accidentally sliding the slidy bit off the end mid-song, it was very aggravating at the time lol

Elementary school band teacher here: you make the instrument buzz with your lips at different levels low to high, but there are gaps 1/2

5 years ago | Likes 6 Dislikes 0

between the levels. By lengthening the instrument using the hand slide, you can hit all the notes in the gaps between lip levels.

Well, TIL, thank you very much!

Fun fact: my father, brother, wife, and myself are all trombonists. Every once in a while we all play together.
