[Trombone-l] The big dark bass trombone sound

[thetubameister@adelphia.net]

Bach 50B3LOHMG!!! (Bass, 10.5 inch bell, Open wrap, Heavy-weight bell, open gooseneck, Gold Brass).  Oh, add a counterweight too!

Put in a Shilke 60 or Bach Megatone 1G and you'llnever be able to get darker :-D

Or not...
