[Trombone-l] Equipment Question and Euphonium

Thu Jun 7 09:44:17 CDT 2007

My experience is that most Euphs have D as a false tone, not Eb.  On three-valvers, I use 123 and lip the bejeezus out of it.

The yamaha, however, has a crummy falsetone range, but you only need it on B, as Eb and C are ease to pull for on the first valve slide.

- 2cents as a 321 player...
