[Trombone-l] Equipment Question and Euphonium - now fake notes

Yes, and this discussion has been most helpful! I am attempting to double
the euphonium (tenor tuba part) and first trombone on Holst' Planets this
summer. I love the sound of the euphonium, though I feel in a prison using
valves instead of a slide! Because of this discussion, I'll record a
rehearsal to get a sense of how loud I'm playing and the overall tone.
Thanks,
Dan

Isn't it amazing how many trombonists are playing Euph?

C's near the end of Lion King - much easier for me to control than the open 
pedal at that dynamic.
