i would like to redirect all the comments back on the real star of the show- HAIM! regardless of what instrument you play, you have to give it up for him. he deserves a lot of respect here, even for youtubers that don't know much about the trombone world.
I agree that the trombone is a marvelous instrument, but it isn't objectively better than all other instruments. It has a relatively unique timbre and a considerable range, sure. It is my personal opinion that it suits cello music well also. But don't go fangirl on me; it can't do chords, it doesn't have the voice of a string, and it doesn't have the articulation or the lightness of a woodwind. Love the soloist, but learn to love the ensemble.
@Bottledcan it can do chords. It's a technique called multiphonics you ignorant fool, and it can play just as light and crisply articulated (if not more so) than a woodwind. Try listening before you make stupid comments.

I don't know how we can choose to play the trombone. the only thing you can do is moving your arm forward and back. it's just like playing a 1 string cello, or playing the piano with one single finger.
7 positions, 8 registers. the most versatile instrument ever created. can be used in pretty much any band: wind bands, orchestras, brass bands, ensembles, as a solo instrument, jazz bands, stage bands, ska bands etc etc etc. a trombone can play lead, or as backing, and is one of the most powerful instruments availiable. This is such a typical strings section comment! since when did you ever hear a cello outside of an orchestra or string ensemble? Apocalypse doesnt count!
seriously I'm not even going to argue with you lol. If you want to know what a trombone can do look up people like Joe Alessi, Christian Lindberg, and Wycliff. If you want to play with a flute or a horn, have fun with instruments that arent very verstile at all. They are great instruments, much like the cello is but they are no trombone =]

Lol , I knew that kind of comment wouldn't be liked by trombone lover.
But still, what can you do with a solo trombone? you don't even have to use your fingers. I would have pretty much more fun with a flute or a horn.
