[Trombone-l] A question on alternate(?) positions.

[David Guion]

I'd like to add one alternate position to Eric Swanson's explanation
of the most basic: the "tuning" Bb in 5th position. Actually, when it
is notated as a Bb, you'll want 1st position most of the time. 5th is
useful after G or Gb. But as A#, you should get in the habit of
thinking of 5th as the primary position. The next note, more often
than not, is 4th-position B.
