Beginning Trombone Lessons - How to use the Trigger (F Attachment) on your Trigger Trombone

In this video I will be explaining how to use the Trigger (or F Attachment) on your Trigger Trombone.
I have included two links for you. This first link has a chart that shows you how to tune the trigger and how to play the notes available with the trigger. The second link contains position chart for your standard trombone without a trigger.

I recently got my own trigger trombone instead of renting a beginner one. This was super helpful especially for tuning and how to practice with the trigger. Thanks!

[@LowBrassLuke]

Glad it helped.

Euphonium player here with some trombone background. Picked up my first trigger trombone (Bach 42AFG) for doubling and found this video super helpful for getting started. Thanks!

[@LowBrassLuke]

Glad it helped!

Just picked up my first trigger trombone- this helped a ton! Will have to practice these :) Thank you!

[@lesderuiter963]

Thanks for this, great explanations, visuals, and pacing. Loved the background music.

The F Attachment also allows you to get a larger note range so you can play all the way down to C2 (and lower) below the Bass Clef Staff

Amazing video! How much have you spent on trombones/brass bc i see at least 3 trombones

[@tyronium2]

sometimes i pull the trigger tuning slide out all the way in order to play super low

[@LowBrassLuke]

As long as you know how it changes all the note placements and can make it work.

My daughter has a new Yamaha. Is the passing on your trigger something that can be bought.

[@LowBrassLuke]

Not sure what you mean by “passing”

[@shedflips]

@@LowBrassLuke sorry meant padding

[@LowBrassLuke]

@@shedflips if you mean the part on the actual trigger, you can order those. I found someone on Facebook that made them. Can’t remember the exact name. If you mean the leather grip I use to help hold the trombone: That’s a Sheridan Get A Grip. All the best.

[@shedflips]

Yes the part on the actual trigger. She learned to play on a different brand that had a thumb rest instead of just a bar.

how do you fit a grand piano into that room?

[@LowBrassLuke]

It’s a baby grand. Doesn’t take up much room.
