[Trombone-l] Mahler 1 mute change

[Mark Mohwinkel]

Either sitting or standing for the audition, you could
put a music stand (top flat) or table (if available)
so you have a short distance to go.  Either that or
hold in your hand and hold the bell as someone else
mentioned.

Regards,
Mark Mohwinkel
