[Trombone-l] Finally!

[Chris Waage]

A few years ago, I tried a Bach 50K3L - 10-1/2 inch bell, dual inline Bach
K-valves.  The valves themselves were about the size of a tomato juice can
(the little ones...).  It felt like I had a marching tuba on my shoulder,
and responded with the grace of a fully-loaded garbage truck leaving an
uphill stoplight.
