Anyone here play brass?

[sider]

Not sure if in correct place as seems to be more about listening to music rather than playing - but does anyone on here play brass at all?

Just getting back into it after a big gap and keen to speak to others! (without formally joining a band/orchestra)

Brass?? That very non specific! But yes. I play trombone (professionally)

Gigged with George Melly a lifetime ago, he introduced the trombone player by saying,

"You do realise that the trombone was originally a comedy instrument?"

Cool.

Yes, none specific I suppose! Been a in a brass band before and other than trombone i was quite versatile. Could never grasp the slide positions of your trade!

I was a euphonium man last. Getting back into the cornet now so i can teach my son, only 6. He does ok though. Other 2 children, 4 and 3 keep having a blast and can get a note or two out of it.
