[Trombone-l] bass trumpet

[thetubameister@adelphia.net]

There's something to that argument of modernt trumpets actually being soprano valve trombones.  I think Anthony Baines made that argument first...

I actually think that with the tapered leadpipes and (some of them) dual-bore tuning slides, they're nothing more than cornets...

Valves are for sissies...
