klenke Posted January 9, 2003 Share Posted January 9, 2003 I guess you're no longer in the catbird seat. Nope. Now you're just in the trombone seat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catbirdseat Posted January 9, 2003 Author Share Posted January 9, 2003 Trumpet AND Trombone? It is unusual for brass players to double on instruments with large and small mouthpieces. My son is dabbling in it. My teacher used to tell me don't, it will mess up your chops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

COL._Von_Spanker Posted January 9, 2003 Share Posted January 9, 2003 it's sorta difficult to double up, but the stuff we play isnt' too complex. I just can play super high on the trumpet after playin bone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

North_by_Northwest Posted January 10, 2003 Share Posted January 10, 2003 I just got the axe too, right after New Years. They must think its easier on us if they wait until after the holidays, less chance of an "incident". It wasn't necessary: the nice weather at Index today made me forget about revenge altogether. I'm also open for weekday activities now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
