[Trombone-l] Sackbutt question

[DF Cramer]

>From everything I have read in the Historic Brass Journal, several books on 
trombone and on the sackbut; do not waste the time.  It will not sound 
anything like a sackbut.  See if you can borrow one from a colleague or 
school.

I considered doing the same thing until I read more about it.  I guess we 
both have to wait to buy one.  Luckily for now, this school has an alto and 
two tenors that I am going to explore.
