Have you seen this article about the shock waves generated by trombones? I’m intrigued.
“Musicians sitting in front of the trombone or trumpet have suffered from these shock waves.”, it says. It’s OK, though, because they’re only generated when playing ff or fff – like the rest of us, our trombonists are a sensitive bunch, so this doesn’t happen very often.
Still, I’m glad that 76 Trombones form part or our repertoire rather than our membership!
