[Trombone-l] Chinese bass trumpets? (Neeme wants to know)

[John Burton]

Ah... You guys kill me <gryn>
Just can't catch a break can I...??

OTOH, If you're a pro, a Bass Trumpet in Ab should just be a piece of
cake.  Lessee .. Play as written, tho substitute the "infinite pitch"
clef markings for the "French" or "Baritone" clef markings and you'll do
OK.
