Introducing the F Attachment for Trombone

Reginald H. Fink Designed for both tenor trombone players who have just gotten their first F attachment trombone and as a primer for beginning bass trombonists. Progressively arranged, it begins with fundamental tone and breath building etudes and then provides a section that focuses on specific exercises for each of the 6 positions available on the F attachment. Each of the 6 sections has several one-line etudes and several short etudes for the complete mastery of the 2 notes in that position. Each section expands and builds on the previous sections until the student has a complete command of all 6 positions and all 12 notes on the F attachment. When the final etudes have been mastered the student has complete command of the F attachment. The Preface topics are Handle with Care, Use Proper Hand Grips, Learn the F Attachment Positions, and Tune the F Attachment. A Maintenance Section covers Oiling the Valve, Quieting Noisy Valve Bearings, Removing Condensation from the Valve Section, R
