[Trombone-l] Terms for the high and low notes...?

[David W. Buckley]

I once read a book about the pivot system by a man named Reinhardt and he 
called the high ones the "high squeakers". About what they sound like if I 
manage to get them which is not often.

Dave Buckley , who will have to do some work on those high squeakers if he 
is going to survive Symphony Fantastique next season.

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.
