trombone raze there's more range to the instrument than i realized. it's capable of traversing the distance from sub-foghorn flatulence all the way to mid-range trumpet territory. the dude can really wail on the thing. it makes sense that his last name is a rock, because he seems solid. what amazes me is the control. to play the trombone well, you have to have a good lip, great ears, and precise hands, and all three have to work together as one well-oiled machine. there are no keys to guide you, in the same way there are no frets on a cello. you're chasing the sound, is what you're doing, hooking it between your fingers, giving it your breath, saying, "now, go here." 140919 ... unhinged my niece plays the trombone. of all the instruments... i think her teacher talked her into it cause she is tall so she has long arms 140919 what's it to you? who go blather from
