All brass instruments are the same.

Only difference is bore size, mouthpiece size, amount of taper etc.

There exists a slide trumpet ( piccolo trombone? ) and a valved trombone
bass trumpet? )

Likewise, Flugel horn ( Piccolo Euphonium? ), French horn ( Tuba with a darn
small bore and mouthpiece )

Whatever, go away.

Thank you for the opportunity to pity our primitive forebears. Trombone
is to trumpet as the Hindenberg is to the space shuttle. (Read: slower,
meandering, out-of-date, overinflated, full of hot air, known to go down
in flames when there's a big audience.)


While we're on the subject:

Q: How can you tell a trombonist's kid on the playground.
A: They're always complaining about the slide and they don't know now to
swing.

Q: How can you tell when it's a trombone player at the door??
A: He's wearing a pizza delivery cap.

Q: What's the difference between a trombone and a trampoline?
A: You take your shoes off when you jump on a trampoline.

Three guys walk into a bar. The bartender says to the first guy, "hey,
you look pretty smart, what's your IQ?", and the first guy replies
"200". So the bartender chats for a couple minutes about fluid dynamics
and wave theory. He asks the next guy what his IQ is, and the guy replies
"120". So the bartender talks with him a while about local politics and
the economy and the local sports franchise. Finally, he asks the last guy
what his IQ is, they guy replies, "45". The bartender replies, "Oh,
really, and how long have you played trombone, anyway?"

Q: What's the difference between a bass trombone and a chain saw?
A: 1. Vibrato.
A: 2. It's easier to improvise on a chainsaw.

Q: How can you make a french horn sound like a trombone?
A: Take your hand out of the bell and lose all sense of taste.

Q: Why do people play trombone?
A: Because they can't move their fingers and read music at the same time.

Q: What's so tragic about a minivan with 5 trombones in it, running off
the side of a cliff?
A: You could have fit more trombones in it.

Q: What's the first position a trombonist learns?
A: Head cocked, arm above it, finger scratching scalp.

If you don't like trumpet, why would you ever choose to play trombone and be
forced to sit in front of us?

Abviously you must like the trumpet.

You met bad trumpeters, doesn't mean trumpets suck, just that THOSE
trumpeters suck.

Perhaps you should grow up.

Btw, why izzn't the trumpet the same as the trombone? If the trombone has
valves, or the trumpet uses a slide, then they are just one octave apart,
with the nessesary bore and slide length adjustments to suit the different
registers.

I like both the trumpet and trombone.

Doesn't this excist ?....
I think a saw some kind of trumpets ... in some classical piece ...
and those where look-a-likes of trombones, but as big as trumpet ...

I think it would be nice to play on .... because sliding that tone down is
te nicest sound on the trombone
... Check out Fred Wesley and say again that trombones suck ...

I play the trumpet and I think it's a pity that I can't play both ...
but then again I would like to play some sax too ...

It's just not possible for me to play trumpet together with others ... i
feel my sound
becoming terrible ...

How many trombone players does it take to change a lightbulb?
7.
1 to hold the lightbulb
6 to drink wisky until the room spins

Me too. I used to double on the trombone regularly. Sitting in a big
band in front of the trumpets helped me understand why so many lead
trombonists have bald spots on the backs of their heads. We trumpeters
don't realize how fortunate we are to stand behind the noise we're
making.

Who says you can't play trumpet and trombone? Check the
credit for any Cherry Poppin Daddies Album Dana Heitman
plays both trumpet and trombone. Also my teachers show me
how to work the value of a trumpet so you get the sliding
effect of trombone.

I think one of the trumpeters that was on that Lincoln
Center Jazz Concert about a month ago also played trombone.
I think that if one were to switch back and forth between
the two instruments often enough, one could learn to make
the transition easily. The human ability to learn is truly
an amazing thing! As for me, I tried to play a trombone I
saw at a garage sale a couple of years ago, and I couldn't
play it at all! - Bill G.

When I first started playing trombone it was difficult, but I started
switching back and forth during my practice routine and within a few
weeks I could play both horns on the same gig, sometimes even the same
tune (not at the same time--still working on that!:)) Check out James
Morrison's stuff at www.jamesmorrison.com.

You need to get a life.

Fancy arguing over which instrument is better! Man, you are no better off
comparing which side of your pea sized brain is functioning.

And if you think trumpeters are noisy, go listen to some OST movie scores.
Darned bass trombone pedals.

Only a trombone player in need of practice would need to go to a trumpet
board. Stay home and do something useful with your time.PRACTICE.

No. but but not that I know heaven nor hell is not going to
stop me from playing a trombone first the n a trumpet.
Think of the laughs I will get by playing that god awfullest
sound! Of course there are those who take their trumpet
playing seriously and not thinking of using it as a part of
a comedy act.

In our funkbank I use a window of "plexiglass" to blow too so I can hear
myself better ...
(you know guitars and base and drums, ...)
I know how loud it sounds
and I'm proud of it too

I would second that, being a sax player, but this is not the place.
alt.music.saxophone is the place, man. the trumpet is smaller, and thus
will go farther and faster when thrown at you.

Well, given the higher mass of a saxophone, it will travel further if thrown
by a Hercules.

yeah, but the trumpet has that ring that you can spin it with, so you could
do the chinese star-flying trumpet thing with it. All you can do with the
sax is turn it so the bell is up and rest the body on your shoulder and
pretend it's a bazooka.
