[Trombone-l] pitch

[Atlbrvsnt@aol.com]

Mine is like that too...I play my 42BO with the main tuning slide 
consistently out about 1/8 inch (I can go for months without moving it until I have a day 
when I'm playing sharp for some strange reason) and the trigger slide is 
dialed in at just over an inch--I play C's out a few inches from 1st position.

I also tend to play with the tuning slide in farther than most people though.

 I'm glad that some of you said that your 42's were (almost) flat,
because my 42T is the same. I hardly can pull the tuning slide out at
all. I do need to pull the F plumbing out several inches though.
