[Trombone-l] Equipment Question and Euphonium

[Raymond Horton]

Both my euphs (A Besson compensating and a Conn 24I, both made in 1961) 
have a D false note series.  That is, I can get a pretty decent open low 
D, second valve Db, etc. 


I suggest that on any euph that doesn't want to get a false open low Eb, 
try a D.
