Tenor Trombone: Positions, Harmonics, & Scales

Performer: Bryan Heath The trombone's slide distinguishes it from any other instrument. The slide provides 7 positions, a tritone's worth of fundamentals allowing for complete control over intonation and making glissandos of up to a tritone playable. Note that the distance between positions increases as more of the slide tubing is used.
