Double slide all the way across the trombone! What does it mean?

@ZachCatastrophe51 honestly, I don't know who to side with. Both are true.

@mrmartian1000 How long have you been playing trombone? I don't think you know how much power is required to make those low notes come out right.

[mrmartian1000]

hey dumb ass you aint sposed to puff your cheeks

I think the Brown note is hidden in there somewhere...

@abstractGBAM BBb is half the frequency of Bb, which means that it's produced by an instrument that is twice as long. Also, that the difference between positions is twice as long. As such, the positions are the same distance between one another on a double slide BBb trombone as they are on a single slide Bb trombone, while the bell section is twice as long and the various slide crooks add a a bit of length as well.

In short, no, it doesn't "lengthen the instrument way too fast".

[abstractGBAM]

is it just me or does it seem like the double slide set-up would start lengthening the instrument way too fast?

I'm betting you've never even seen a contrabass trombone, which is on a whole new difficulty level.
