Hi Jakob, I'm playing a Courtois

@@JeffreyKant Do you have the model number? :)

Thanks for the very nice compliments Andy. I hope your students will enjoy!

When you mention intonation, the slide position of his first note (I'd have to look it up, don't know it off-hand) is NOT the same when he initially attacks it as when he approaches it later from below, when he takes it higher. As a former trumpet play and now retired bass trombonist, you hear a lot of different things. Trumpet players are used to lipping into desired intonation - you play an f-sharp differently in game, that you do in A-major - while playing with air/aperture for the desired tonal colours. On trombone I always heard to pull to the intonation and the tone colour follows. And that made my teacher crazy watching me pull "differently" yet get good tonal colour and intensity, obviously left over from my trumpet days. Anyway, i don't know if Mr. Kant was pulling differently intentionally due to line-leading tendencies or if he was "adjusting" on the fly. It would almost be sacreligious to suggest it was "carelessness".

underrated comment

if we come late, its an error, its not due the instrument. Lack of articulation.

after the beginning its not the most exciting symphony

@@LeroyPeterson The first movement is awesome! What the heck are you talking about?!

I'm using a Courtois 5L

Lmao

Yes sir.

Nice

Stimmt! Joe Alessi spielt die 3. Mahler auch super, aber dieser Posaunist ist sicherlich ein hervorragender Soloist, in der Tat. :)
