And this is my second reply.

Non-bot post #1: Figured I would join. I started in 5th grade and have been playing now for 29 years. Played through college and continued to play afterwards in community and church ensembles.

Non-bot post #2: My first horn was a king 606 that I played until 8th grade, with a few fill in appearances until a couple of years into college when it became my marching/pep band horn. After college I used it some for community jazz band. My 2nd horn was a conn 88h in silver plate. It was my primary horn from 8th grade through college and for community concert band and church. I’m college I spent a semester playing a school owned holton tr181 bass trombone in jazz band. After college my mom found another king 606 at a thrift store that was in better shape than my beginner horn, so I used it for jazz. Having been bitten by the jazz bug, I found a used curved brace tempo for jazz, and have also used it with the 88h for church. My newest acquisition, after being lost by FedEx for a month, is a 1932 conn 44h vocabell that I hope will work well for the jazz/jazz combo stuff I am playing in now. COVID probably killed the community concert band and the community jazz band has been operating as a combo and only getting together if there is a gig scheduled.

Non-bot post #1.....Saw this forum and figured I would love to take part. I have been playing on and off since JHS band (mostly off). I have always returned to the scene of the crime and just cant shake the bug of a lifelong attempt to get better. I was fortunate enough to take private lessons as a adult from the late Jack Carmen who taught at Five Towns College and was in the trombone section of the Buddy Rich Big Band during its hey dey. He was very patient with me and I cherish all the hand written work I have from him, He was a great guy. I am approaching retirement age and want to devote time in my efforts to make a Community band section. I'll post my horns in my second post.

Non-bot post #2...My stable is a modest one with one sweet one that I acquired many moons ago.....My small bore student is a Eastman ETB-310, nothing special a .500 bore student horn. it is a decent student horn with nickel silver outers and has decent slide action for a student. I also have a Blessing B7 .525 straight tenor, just to have a step up.I bought it used and it was a good deal so i grabbed it. I also have a Blessing B88 Bb/F .547 bore. Its a good horn to practice with and introduce the F attachment use. I also in my travels fell into a Reynolds Contempora Philharmonic model 72. Its a .564 single rotor bass made in 1959 ( I believe). its kind of like a classic car under the cover in your garage to me. Its in great shape and a attestment to the craftsmanship of days gone by, as it can be cased for years and the slide is like glass. I really don't play that one but its funny I wouldn't be happy without it. I bet you understand what I mean. That's my story and my second required post. Thanks for having me.

post #1, trying to find a smaller bass bone case...

post #2 for completeness

Post #2, for all tp see!

Hi all, this is my first post as a human, or as anything else

This is my second post. I've been enjoying browsing the forum for a few weeks after deciding to try to learn to play again after 40-45 years. Lots of new info since I've been away!

Post #1: Greetings all! I am a Houston-based, strictly amateur-hour, bass trombone player. I stumbled across this site and was super impressed with the information and opinions shared here. I took a 20-something year hiatus from the horn, but have been playing as much as possible over the last 7 years, as I decided it would be a good retirement activity!

Post #2: I have a few different horns in the collection. The one I play most is an Edwards B454-V bass trombone. I've also got a King 3B, a Bach 42B with 2 bells(!), and a King 2B that my daughter insists is really her horn.

I look forward to learning more from this site. Thank you!

Hi! My name is Dominica I play trombone (actually I'm just student only). I'm not a bot. I'm enjoying to be member of "Trombone's" forum, I learn a lot from here, thank you!

I am the humans?

Not sure why my replies to a comment on my first post keeping going from "pending approval" to deleted, but hoping that a post on a different thread will help?

Go ahead and try to make another post. I think I fixed your issue. I'm not sure why it was doing it either but I've forced you to be a "regular" user. We make users write two approved posts and Bruce has been approving them, but it wasn't applying against the counter, so I reset it.

That seems to have done it -- many thanks!

New here and needing to get verified. Looking to purchase a shires trombone!

Second reply for verification, wanting to post a WTB post. Thanks!

The Russian trombone community must be thriving

Does anyone know what exactly these boys want from a bunch of trombonists

Been lurking for a long time figured I'd create an account

Post number 2 I'm real I swear

Ha I love this thread. Post #1
I started on French horn and switched to tuba in high school. Played through college and.doubled on trombone for jazz band. Haven't really played anything brass regularly for 40 years. Though I regularly play at the piano. Picked up an old King 606 my son had lying around. Been practicing for about a month on etudes. Found this forum. Looking forward to all the advice.

You'll get more advice than you can use from TromboneChat members.
Enjoy it, but take it with a grain (or two) of salt!

Second post to be considered more than some automaton operating out of some dark digital world.

I have been reading the forum for several weeks looking at old threads. So yeah, I have already noticed.

Post 1. I'm glad to be here. Thanks to all moderators and members.

Post 2. I'm in process of purchasing a bass...and then learning to make a tolerable sound on it. Thanks again to all.

Post two. Thanks for approving, and looking forward to the chat here.

Last I checked I'm a fully formed human, but one can always use a second opinion!

I must be human after all! Thanks for approving!

Oops hit that button twice!

I just registered and am trying to figure out how things work.

Are any of us truly human? I mean, we choose to play the Trombone. For some reason my phone capitalizes Trombone automatically, but I'm okay with that...

Just doing my 2 posts! Best, JD

I'm a human being too. 'Looking forward to being part of the community here.

This is my first post. Thanks.

Post #1 - thanks to mods and members, look forward to joining the community!

Post #2 - thanks again!

This is my first reply. Hope this is still active as far as getting my two messages approved. Played trombone in junior high school, taking it up again in old age just for fun.

This is my second reply to this post needing approval by a moderator in order to be able to post things to Trombone.chat. I own and play a nice late 1940's Olds Super and a white plastic P-Bone. They both sound good though the Olds has a definitely smoother timbre reflecting its quality etc.

I’m a human! Hurray! I also play bass trombone, which is the best human to be

This is reply #2. Luckily still a human… for now…

One.
