[Trombone-l] FW: Equipment Question and Euphonium

[Eric Edwards]

I'm not clear on the term Eb false tones.
Are we talking the series between F below the staff to C two ledger lines
down?

If so,  the 321 behaves just like the F valve on a trombone,  basically you
lose one "position" or fingering after the low E.
Eb is 124, D is 234, Db is 134 and C is 1234,  and you don't have the low B.


I'm sure most of you know this already,  so I apologize for the redundancy.

The 321 is a 4 valve horn, no reason to fake those notes, except for
maybe lip practice, and as a curiosity. They don't come out so well
on the 201 (3 valve version of the 321). The 321 was based on the
basic proportions of the older Bessons, do the false tones work on
those horns, or do they work better on American style "baritones?"

They don't come out on my 641, for what that's worth...
