 RE: Is that bass trombone getting to you?

Jim -

The Contrabasse a Anche stirred up quite a discussion on the Contrabass board. There's a great description in Baines, Woodwind Instruments and Their History, which your description shows you're familiar with.

Baines says that the holes are all closed, and each is opened by a separate key. They're so big it doesn't matter whether any holes lower down are open. Baines says the dynamic range is from fff on up. It's too loud to play even in Italian bands.

Best regards.
