gosh if ur ever feeling sad u should just coem here to listen to all the sweet things that u people say. hehe. chick trombone players cant be beat. band rocks!!!!!!

oh yeah and merry christmas, happy new year....all that good stuff.

I hope all had a really nice Christmas (or whatever you celebrate) weekend and that there was plenty of good music around.

well as much as i like the trombone, guess what i got for xmas!!! a french horn!!! cool huh? lol

Jess, are you taking up the horn as well? They have a great sound but nothing close to a trombone.

HUH
so are you learning the trombone too or...
but yeah i agree its a beautiful one, but my trombone is so much better.:D

No. Where I live (apartment) it wouldn`t go over too well. My main instruments are my voice and guitar. I am a big fan of brass though and just happen to love the sound of the trombone. It influences my big band-style singing. Early Frank Sinatra and Perry Como recordings are my main influence though.

oh ok i get what you mean now. thats cool that you like the trombone...its an awesome instrument!

I happen to be a chick that plays the trombone. I have been playing for 12 years and i have been playing professionally for four. I love it, the trombone is a great instrument. Jazz you could say is my forte. Hopefully i will be playing in the St. Louis University Jazz band this coming year. Wish me luck.

I wish you all the best of success with your budding career, Kelly. Play your trombone beautifully and proudly!! It`s the best jazz horn around.

Sweet gig. Good job and good luck with the college thing.

man youre lucky to have been playin that long....which collage did you go to? im in the 9th grade and im really having a hard time finding the right collage for me.

I will be attending St. Louis University in the fall of 05`. Great jazz community. But I have a question. Right now, I have a Benge .547 intermediate trombone. I am looking into finding a good professional trombone particularly from Bach. I found two Bach Omega MG293, for a really good price, but I have never heard of the Omega model. Does anyone have any insight on that type of Model. It has a traditional wrap, .525 bore, 8 inch bell, 3 toned, and a mechanical trigger, most of the things i am looking for, but i would like to find out more about the Omega model before I invest a lot of money into a new trombone. Thanks.

well i know my boyfriend played an omega last year, but it wasnt very good tone quality(although that could have been cause its like a dented up piece of school owned junk) but he really didnt like it. i like bach a lot and thats what i usually play. yamaha has some nice ones too although they arent the cheapest tbones out there...
