I really really really want to play trombone. You can not imagine my passion for this instrument, I love everything about them! So I recently decided I wanted to take it up. However, I`m sure what to do. I really don`t want to buy a horn off of ebay because,besides the bad stuff I`ve seen on there, it`s so risky. I was looking into and wanted a Jupiter trombone,does anybody know anything about these? I;d probably get one new if I could. I also don`t understand mouthpiece sizes and how they affect playing or whatever. Also, I`m wondering how hard this instrument would be to teach myself? I have friends who play this and one of them gave me a lesson book with all the slide positions and such, I have a tuner and a pitch pipe I could use as well. I`m a flute/piccolo player and any help on this would help me greatly! Thank you.
