Trombone First Aid - Romantic trombones 

I think it has something to do with the growing demand for that big deep sound. Based on my observation with how I see Trombones evolved from the Sackbut, to the romantic Trombones, to modern Trombones, the bells getting bigger, the bore getting bigger, and with the addition of the F valve on the Tenor and additional valves on the Bass, and based on the phat low sound we hear on film scores these days, I think that’s the shift that we’re seeing. From these instruments that could blend lush chorale harmonies, eventually led to this newfound importance to honking low notes. On one hand, yaay innovation, but on the other hand, it’s slowly sacrificing the ability of the Trombone to sound so lush and blend well, playing in a lush tenor range. When I listen to recordings of Sackbuts, they have a smaller and more delicate sound compared to its larger modern counterpart which is designed for honk honk all day.

Thanks for your appreciation! If you are interested in more content about trombone, please browse my channel and have a look at my Trombone First Aid series: this for example is the latest video I have published ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-95_qRyLH8H0.html

It would be great to do many of these videos... The problem is always the same: time and money (a good hall costs quite a bit)

Thanks for your comment! I put the Zoom H2n on the conductor's stand using MS recording +3 to capture more of the natural sound in the hall.
