r/Trombone

Found one for 360$ including shipping is there any in depth videos on it I could only find 1

I'm looking at going paperless and using a tablet. Due to poor eyesight brought by age, I need the biggest screen possible. I'm considering the NXTPAPER 14. Anyone have experience with that model?

I have recently been playing a lot of trombone when I don't normally (primarily a euphonium player) and I've noticed that I tend to get condensation dripping out of the bell after I've been playing for a little bit and I don't see that happening with the other trombonists I'm playing with. How normal is that to happen, and should I change something in how I play to help prevent it? It's mostly annoying to have it dripping on my leg but I wonder if I'm overblowing the horn and need to learn to play using less air...

I don't see a clear walk through for shipping a trombone hand slide... Does anyone have some experience they could share? What size of box? Packing materials? Protecting the slide? The slide doctor has a cool system, but I'm not sure a wooden box is totally necessary.... Thoughts?

I feel like there HAS to be a silicon oil product available for purchase that is a more economical alternative to the tiny bottle that comes with Slide-o-Mix or SuperSlick Plus Oil. Has anyone found one? There has to be a product, not sold for trombone lube, that is the same but available in larger containers at a much better price break.

Anyone?

Hi all,

I’ve been building BrassFit Mouthpieces, a free brass mouthpiece database with rim/cup/throat specs, brand catalogs, and player feel ratings.

The database now has 2,600+ mouthpieces across trumpet, trombone, horn, euphonium, tuba, cornet, and flugelhorn.

I’m not asking for vague “site feedback.” I’d love one very specific thing:

1. Search the mouthpiece you actually play

2. If it’s there, add a quick feel rating

3. If it’s missing, submit the model so I can add it

The goal is to make something useful when players are comparing specs but also want real-world feel: resistance, brightness, rim comfort, articulation, endurance, etc.

Wondering how to approach breathing in the Arban exercises that have almost no resting. For example, Pg. 34 Ex. 16 or Pg. 26-27 Ex. 46 (Alessi/Bowman edition).

I find myself dying for a breath and get distracted from focusing on a good sound and clear articulations, lol

Hi all, I have a trombone that I'm interested in getting some custom work done on. At least, I'm looking to get it relaquered with colored lacquer, but I could be interested in plating or engraving or whatever. I'm just wondering what shops are known for custom work, and if there are any in the northeast, NYC or Toronto areas.

Hello, I’m looking here to see about Internship as a trombonist in Europe . How does that work? Is it beneficial? How much do i need to save up? Will I be getting paid? How is the working environment? Will I perform? What do I need to do? I came here because I remembered back there were a few trombonist here from Germany and maybe a lot of you could help.

Hey! I'm doing a challenge where I upload a video of myself practicing trombone for 100 days in a row this summer! I want to document my progress to see my personal growth and share my development as a musician with others :) These videos will include all sorts of mistakes and bloopers :) I want to keep it real and candid! I hope you guys enjoy this summer series <3

The part I was given is in tenor clef, which is okay, but with the lack of marking of the time changes in this arrangement, it's hard to follow.

Does anyone have a copy of Carmina Burana orchestra 2nd tbone written in bass clef?

I know that a stand is best but when you need to leave shortly and you don’t have a stand, do you put the horn down with the mouthpiece facing the ceiling and the back of the trigger down on the ground, or do you put it the other way, with the mouthpiece on the ground and the backside of the trigger facing the ceiling?

Uno strumento per me troppo pesante e duro lo venduto subito.

Hi :)

I've retrieved an old KING Sonorus 4B (no valve) from my grand father's attic 🤩
Unfortunately it does not have a mouthpiece in the crate.

What's your advice on a good mouthpiece for this ? I tried my Courtois on it but the pipe diameter is too big...
I will be playing mainly pop music in a street band, I need something more fitted to the high registers but with a big round sound for the open air....

Thanks !
