[Trombone-l] Trombone Wind Controller

[George Carr]

I probably overestimated the ubiquity of my own childhood training -
of course lip slurs are commonly taught, and I've used them as warmups
for decades.  But whether a 'typical' trombone player would have a
hard time adjusting to an instrument where she had to tongue to change
harmonics - not so much, I think.
