Re: New Member Introductions
Hello! As a kid, I played the trombone until 10th grade, then did other things ... for 40 years! An overheard conversation at a holiday party led me to dust off my trombone and join a band a few weeks ago. Best thing I've done in a long time!
I've already learned a lot from forum posts here, so I'm making it official.

Hi! I've been perusing the forums for a few years now, only recently joined. I'm a hobby-player. Statistician by day, member of a variety of local community bands by night. Trying to find more opportunities to play my bass bone!

Re: New Member Introductions
Hello all! I'm a returning player. I started as a music major in college, but wasn't a great performer. At the end of my second year, I BOMBED my jury piece (Blue Bells of Scotland) and was essentially shunned. I switched to Computer Information Systems and have been an IT proessional for many years (40). 4 years to retirement! I kept my High School horn, a King 3B with F attachment. Sold the other ones when I quit music school. I also have an antique Buescher Grand that I haven't opened in 40 years. I wonder what it smells like...? Anyway...I am baaaack and playing with a local community band. Finding other opportunities to do orchestra stuff.
Range, intonation, tone, air ... all difficult to get back!

You were wise to keep your King 3B-F. It should serve you well.
Keep practicing & playing with others!

Re: New Member Introductions
Hello all. I am new to the chat and want to keep up the tradition of new members introducing themselves. I am a music enthusiast playing trombone over 40 years from elementary school through undergrad and I currently play in a community concert band. I recently picked up the baritone horn, and after 5 days of hard work learning fingerings, performed in my first ever Tuba Christmas in NYC. I have an affinity with vintage instruments but my goto horn is a Bach Stradivarius 42B w/F-attachment circa 1970.

Hello, I’m an amateur trombone player. I used to play bass trombone in a wind orchestra, and these days, I play a straight tenor trombone (YSL-697Z) in a big band. I live in Tokyo. This chat is always full of interesting info, and I really enjoy being here

Hello,
My name is Coralie, and I am French. I have been playing the trombone since I was 11 years old (I am 29 now). I am looking for a community of enthusiasts to share my passion. There is no active French forum, so I am coming here.
