How To Use An F Attachment on the Trombone

In this video, I discuss the three basic uses for the F attachment -- range, technical facility, and trills.

That was the best video on the topic by far. Thanks man, exactly the info I was after and awesome playing thrown in.

These trombones honestly make the most sense to buy for schools/general ensembles. The attachment takes practice, but by buying all F attachments for a school would allow the younger grades to still play the normal tenor trombone, but then they start to use the trigger/compensating system in high school, and even maybe college when and if they move on. It just makes more sense, because all you have to do is not use the trigger. It's not anymore awkward weight wise, I've played one for a bit, and it's the same as a normal tenor trombone without the trigger.

So the F attachment trombone is the same a what they refer to trigger trombone? Thanks!

[@harrisonreed8718]

Yes, same thing. Trigger trombone kind of has a middle school kind of ring to it.

Hia Harrison! :D :D :D :D My name's Michael Galan-Diaz and I'm from Sunderland, England and I've been playing trombone for 8 years and I SO wanna get a trigger trombone one day! :D :D :D XD

Mr. Wizard-Knight , Great! Thanks for watching my video. An F attachment really adds a lot to a trombone. I am currently playing an Edwards T-396A tenor and I love it!

[@mrwizzardknight]

Harrison Reed How long have you been playing for??! :D :D :D :D :D Are you in any major orchestras, brass bands and pop/rock bands and military bands and/or any other totally awesome band?! :D :D :D :D I just KNOW you're absolutely BRILLIANT mate! :D :D :D :D :D 👏👏👏👏

[@harrisonreed8718]

Mr. Wizard-Knight I've been playing for about twenty years. I'm in the United States Army Active Duty Bands. I'm sure you're a great player yourself!

[@mrwizzardknight]

Harrison Reed Awesome! :D :D :D :D :D 👏👏👏👏 And I wish! 😝 I always make a fool of myself trying to sight read what I'm assigned to play with Murton Brass Band and it's very embarrassing that I fail to use my slide properly and tongue correctly when playing easy parts with the Sunderland Youth Orchestra! 😝
