Fellow-listers...
 
The high notes D and above on a tenor trombone...(same on an alto and probably the bass)...where slide position is not a factor in determining pitch...is their a correct term for those notes?
 
Hyper-notes?  Strato-tones?  
 
What about the lowest notes, again where slide position is not so critical...

The term 'false tones' does not seem appropriate....they are tones indeed.
 
I have searched but have not found any good term yet.
