[Trombone-l] High and Low notes...

[Jon Brummel]

Hi Jeff,

Two thoughts:

1) I don't think (to the best of my knowledge) there is a 'codified'  
term, but I posit that any note that can be played is not a 'false'  
tone.

2) I've only heard it referred to as 'altissimo regisister' or  
possibly 'holy b at lls!!'

Best,
    DrJ
