[Trombone-l] Leaving a horn on its stand

Tue Jul 4 02:59:07 CDT 2006

I have a large-bore horn on which I practice.  It stays on its stand prtty much all the time.  The only effect I've noticed is that if it stays there 24/7, the horn I play in public ever more rarely, doesn't play as well.  ;-)

I played with Moody and the Dizzy Alumni last week at the Blue Note. 
Moody told the story and then introduced the guy that was responsible. 
I believe he's a dancer.  Do you know who it was?

   On the positive side of leaving a horn on the stage, is the story of
Dizzy
Gillespie. He was playing at Birdland and had rented the place for an
after-hours birthday party for his wife Lorraine. During the evening,
Diz
had to return home to do something. When he returned, he found that
somehow
the stand had been knocked down and the bell had been bent. It played
OK and
later determined that he liked the sound better with the bent bell. His
subsequent trumpets were all manufactured with the bell pointed upwards
at a
45 degree angle.

Has any trombonist ever tried this approach? On purpose or on accident?
