As a long-time trombone player, serving in a (British) army band during the 70s and early 80s, I was wounded and unable to play for some time. Not wanting me to go to waste, they had me on percussion, mainly tymps - I couldn't play drums as it required coordinating 3 things at once... I could do both hands, but if I started trying to use my foot too, everything went rapidly sideways... Anyway, while rehearsing for a very important concert (a Royal visit...), I had to finish off one piece with a dramatic flourish and a nice forte-piano crescendo roll. While playing this (fortunately during a rehearsal), the pedal mechanism on the tymp started to slip, giving me a really interesting glissando.
I thought it was good, but the boss didn't agree... Phil. At 12:49 AM 5/10/2013, you wrote: >Pitch going flat on the trombone patch? I can help you with that!
