[Trombone-l] equipment question

[thetubameister@adelphia.net]

When I played the ballet, the bones stuck to their usual .547 equipment, though there was no bass on the third part, which was probably the right idea.  Only I changed to F tuba to fit in a little better with voicing originally written for the little French tuba.

Great piece!
