    I saw a post on the trombone chat forum that Horn Guys have "been taking a much needed summer break and simplifying life. Even the website is paused and relaunching shortly." According to the post,...

    Given that the SOLOs are a more recent release and it seems these are hard to come by, I’m not surprised. And she isn’t based in the US either, and International distribution always follows domestic.

    Perhaps this is the reason why I struggle to go from euphonium to tenor trombone, but have no problem with bass trombone.

    Wonderful interview! I credit the Instrumentalist magazines as one of many things that made me into a real gear head in middle school - the band director at our school had at least a couple of...

    I think having redundancies in the product lines is good for the consumer, and may not be a good thing for Eastman. For example, if there is as much overlap with the Eastman line as the Shires...
