[Trombone-l] trombones and choral music

[Keith Marr]

Do you have your digital archive on a website? If so I'd be interested in 
the URL.

The Bb bass trombone would look the same as a tenor trombone, or for that 
matter an alto trombone of the period. According to method books of the time 
the only difference was the size of the mouthpiece.

Cheers!

Keith in Bb/F/D
