  • How much are the ties on the back wall?

  • this makes me miss my trombone, which i (lazily) abandoned in the 9th grade :(

  • My left ear is lonely.. :'(

  • @ctyoungson neither are bowl haircuts

  • Should you warm up in that register??? I think that is ridiculous. Like a pitcher throwing his fastball as his first warm up pitch of the bench? What about stretching first.

  • ohh man this is just sad. A lot of problems with tone that he has no clue of. Melodic, gracefull, this is just sad. :(

  • Trombone is good mmkkayyyyy

  • @lazyeddie04

    for the pedals yes... but hes talking about no getting any strain in the upper register, and if you look at Bill's embouchure... basically once he hits low b flat (octave above pedal) his mouthpiece basically stays in that same position throughout the rest of the range of the horn.

  • Jean jackets are never a good idea

  • @bluecoatguy03

    mmmmmmkay class, now here's a slide position mmmmmmkay
