[Trombone-l] Bass Trumpets

[Tom Gibson]

I believe "prunes" has been dropped in favor of "dried plums".  
Something about attracting a new, hip, young crowd to this delicious  
laxative.

Not prunes, perhaps, maybe apples & oranges, however. :-)

Bb, A, G = Piccolo (G sometimes called Clarino)
F, E, Eb, D = Sopranino
C, Bb, A = Soprano
G, F, Eb = Alto
C, Bb, A =Tenor (commonly called Bass)
F, Eb = Bass (commonly called Contrabass)
CC, BBb = now extinct Contrabassi
