The F pulls to E (as long as you use the longer tuning slide which forces you to leave the other trigger in G), so you get to put that into play. It came stock as the Bb-G-F-Eb but the two valve tuning slides are the same bore and width, so they're interchangeable, allowing a Bb-Gb-F-D setup which a lot of players like. (Don't think I missed any, but I might have.) I don't even begin to use all of them! I rarely use anything but the Bb-G-F-flatEb and on those rare occasions when I venture away, it's with the Bb-F-Eb-C setup. My Olds inline can be set up as Bb-G-F-flatEb, Bb-G-E-D, Bb-Gb-F-D, Bb-Gb-E-Db, Bb-F-Eb-C, Bb-E-Eb-flatC, Bb-F-D-B, Bb-E-Db-Bb, Bb-G-D-C, Bb-G-Db-B, Bb-Gb-D-B, and Bb-Gb-D-flatC. I found the Bb-F-D to be the best overall setup. I had one studio recording session about 35 years ago during the course of which I used each of them at least once except maybe the Bb-F-E. The only Reynolds in the world that can do that with factory-made extensions. My Reynolds stacked double-trigger can be set up as Bb-F-E, Bb-F-Eb, Bb-F-D, Bb-F-Db, and Bb-F-C. F/D/Bb also has it's merits (I would prefer F/Bb/D to match a Bb/F/D bass) especially since it seems most German bass trombonists play bass like a big tenor and contra like a big bass. For reference this horn has a solid 6th position, no 7th, and no low low F with both valves.This is my most played trombone by far. As it is I use both valves most of the time because I don't like 3' slide shifts though I do use 5th position occasionally. I'm interested in getting the Db valve cut down a bit to try the Bollinger tuning. It works.į/C/Db contra- Much more comfortable than the bass since so much of the weight is on my shoulder or behind me. Horn is very front heavy, painfully so.īb/F/D bass- Still front heavy, D is flat. 547- I wish I had a 2nd valve on here for low C's in my rock band. valve less useful, if it's done to bring in low B, well now you just put the far more common low D right about where B is on a Bb/F/Dīb/F/Eb dep- makes more sense than the above, if you've going to have a dependent valve that by virtue of what it is gets used somewhat rarely, why not make it a bit more usefulīb/F/E dep- best option in a Bb horn for Bartok!īb/G/Eb/Db (reverse the 2 valves?)- lots of potential with the short valve for quicker stuff in the staff and the option of playing Eb-B on 1 valveīb/F(dependent Eb)/D///Bb/F(dependent Eb)/Gb- now we're talking! double thumb for the F and dependent valve, short indy valve on the finger, SOOO many options down low, this with open valves would be -the- bass trombone to use in brass quintet!īb/F. Bb/F/G/Eb indy- also cool, no downsides compared to the aboveīb/F/D(C/.) indy- unless you're playing only contra parts whats the point? too many bass parts are really only "3rd tenor"īb/F/Db dep- I don't see the point as you're making the dep.
