  • Pbone Care Card
    Care card pBone Customer Care Card Includes how to play, sheet music, product care information & warranty details Thank you for purchasing pBone. We hope you have many hours of fun - that’s why we created it! Here are a few tips to help get you started. How to play 1. Breathing: this is the heart and soul of trombone playing. Take a relaxed deep breath and blow out through your lips. 2. Buzz: Position the mouthpiece in the middle of your lips, create a hole in your lips and blow air through it. Slowly make the hole smaller as you blow to create a buzz - watch at: www.bit.ly/2y0Qlzy 3. Holding the pBone: Your left-hand holds the bell section. Your right-hand fingers gently hold the outer slide. 4. Moving the Slide: The trombone has seven slide positions. Moving the slide away from you creates a low note and towards you creates a high note. 5. Get Started with your FREE online lessons: we have teamed up to offer your first 9 lessons to help you learn your first steps, assemble and hold the pBone correctly, getting started on your first notes: www.musicgurus.com/course/pbone-1?aff=warwick (see the information later in this care card for more details) General Before use: Pour a small amount of lukewarm water (NEVER HOT) into slide section and work the slide, rinse and drain. Run lukewarm water through the bell section. Rinse and drain. Join the bell and slide sections together and secure them simply with resistance. The bell and slide sections should have a gap of between 5-7mm of black space between them.

  • Friedheim's Reservoir: a Failed Precursor to the Trombone Water Key
    81 Friedheim's Reservoir: A Failed Precursor to the Trombone Water Key Howard Weiner The nineteenth century was a period of great innovation in brass instrument making. In addition to major breakthroughs that changed the course of musical history, such as the application of the valve to the trumpet and horn, there were also a number of minor inven- tions that have nevertheless made their mark. One of these was the water key, a device that allows the brass player to get rid of the moisture that accumulates inside the instrument easily and quickly. As simple, and ingenious, as the water key might be, its invention was apparently preceded by that of another device developed specifically for the trombone: Friedheim's reservoir. According to the article on the "water key" in New Grove 2, the earliest known water key was applied to "the hibernicon, a contrabass bass-horn patented in 1823 by J.R. Cotter of Co. Cork."' It was two years prior to this, however, that J". Friedheim announced his invention in a notice that appeared on page 1 of his Trente-six Exercices Pour le Trombone (Paris: author, 1821) 2 The announcement reads, Notice When one plays a piece of a certain length on the trombone, the water produced by the humid warmth of the breath collects at the bottom of the slide and produces a beating sound which especially makes the high notes disagreeable to the ear. To avoid this beating sound one must remove the slide in order to empty it. During this time, many measures elapse in which one does not play and the effect that the composer wanted to produce is spoiled, all the more so since this almost always affects fundamental notes of the chord, which are the responsibility of this instrument.

  • Austin City Limits Showcases the Best in Americana with the Lumineers and Shovels & Rope
    Austin City Limits Showcases the Best in Americana with The Lumineers and Shovels & Rope New Episode Airs October 19 on PBS Austin, TX—October 17, 2013—Austin City Limits (ACL) celebrates the best in Americana music today, with The Lumineers and Shovels & Rope making their ACL debuts. Denver's Lumineers perform their breakthrough hits including “Ho Hey” and “Stubborn Love” while Charleston, South Carolina's Shovels & Rope perform songs from their acclaimed debut O' Be Joyful. The new episode, part of ACL's just-launched Season 39, premieres October 19th. ACL airs weekly on PBS stations nationwide (check local listings for times) and full episodes are made available online at acltv.com immediately following the initial broadcast. The episode offers a deeper look at two acts that have been receiving well-deserved attention in the roots revival movement. Leading off the hour is The Lumineers, a folk-rock trio that play traditional but original heart-on-the-sleeve music. Of the band The Austin Chronicle writes, “There's nothing precious or affected here, just three dedicated artists opening their hearts.” The young group's breakthrough hit “Ho Hey” was one of the most-played songs of 2012, earning them a performing slot on 2013's Grammy Awards telecast, in addition to two Grammy nominations for Best New Artist and Best Americana Album. The Lumineers' uplifting ACL debut is filled with heart-swelling stomp-and-clap acoustic rock, classic pop and front-porch folk. Their set includes an inspired take on a Dylan classic, while the tambourine driven beat of “Ho Hey” brings the crowd to its feet and the performance closes with a crowd sing-along on “Stubborn Love”.

Performing on the Trombone: a Chronological Survey David M. Guion The trombone is one of the oldest wind instruments currently in use. The trumpet, horn, and flute have a longer history, but have changed in construction and playing technique far more than the trombone, which reached its present form sometime in the 15 century. The name "trombone," Italian for "big trumpet," is attested as early as 1439. The German word Posaune may have referred to an instru- ment with a slide as early as 1363.1 The old English word "sack- but," on the other hand, first appeared in 1495, and cognate terms appeared in Spain and France not much earlier than that. Therefore the confusing and misleading practice of referring to a baroque-style trombone as a sackbut should be abandoned. Using two words for a trombone wrongly implies two different instruments, and at times leads to the erroneous notion that the sackbut is the "forerunner" of the trombone.
