Thanks, Gerry. I met you at the Trombone Workshop at Fort Myers about 10 years ago and have a few of your CDs. You have such a clean, open sound! I have a King 5B that has that sound! But it is not a bass, a .547 bore.
I like your philosophy. Playing a D in 4th position is part of the game of being a trombonist. Moving the slide is the main reason that a trombone is different from all other instruments. Thank you for the video.
Thanks for your explanation about your single valve.. I'm getting back into it and am considering a bass. Having always played a straight one, a single valve looks appealing.
I definitely agree there are uses for a "small" bass trombone, not just in orchestras, but in concert band, pit orchestra, even trombone choirs. I really wish more brands made a 9" bell as an option!
Thank you for explaining the need for a smaller bass for older rep. in a common sense way!

Great video and explanation!
Does it have a long enough F attachment to tune to E?
Bravo Jerry!
Isn’t that a tenor with f attachment
