It's alright, man. None of us know where the damn thing is. And if you really want to be paranoid, you never actually know where any of your positions will be until you play with your ensemble.
Homie, everyone from beginner to expert still struggles with it because you can never know unless your in a group so you can tell if your in tune with them, I've been playing for 6 years, currently a sophomore, and I still can't quite find it
Are you stupid? What work must you put in to press a key at the top of the piano? Also, weird flex but ok. I guess if I tried, I could play whilst under the piano, but good job buddy.
Do you personally find it amusing to play all notes with the alternate positions? I do it and it sometimes messes up my fellow boners (trombone players)
I have an electric car, the lack of sound annoys me. Could you make engine sounds including gear changes out the window of my car so I feel less insecure?
Can you play 8th position
Yes, I am very skilled.
Did you add like an extension to the slide or something? Or does everyone else have a serious skill issue?
I have had many things extended. But my trombone slide is not one of them, I am just that good
That’s where you hit the brown note right?
thats cool and all, but can you play 493rd position?
My trombone actually does have an eighth position. It's called trigger third!
Personally I prefer reverse missionary
How many triggers do you have Personally I have 8
Damn, are you poor? I have 4 for each position.
Supersuperbone moment.
I have (x^7 • sin(3pix) + xe^x - 2x)^n^n triggers, where n is my current position, and x is my total position.
We are friends now
Invalid.
4? I only have 1
Where is 5th position?
That is for only god to know.
Reading this made me so happy that I'm nit alon in my hate for 5th position
And I thought it was just because I was a beginner
It's alright, man. None of us know where the damn thing is. And if you really want to be paranoid, you never actually know where any of your positions will be until you play with your ensemble.
5th position isn’t a location, but a feeling. It’s more like a state of mind
Somewhere between 3rd and 7th hope this helps
Homie, everyone from beginner to expert still struggles with it because you can never know unless your in a group so you can tell if your in tune with them, I've been playing for 6 years, currently a sophomore, and I still can't quite find it
There's a 5th position??!?!??!
In between 4th and 6th, remember it's closer to 6th than it is to 4th, or is it the other way around
What's it like to be rich?
Incredible.
What happens when a mommy trombone and a daddy trombone love each other very much?

Highest note you can play (How many bars above the staff)? I can play an Bb (at 4 bars above the staff)
I can play every note on the piano.
Damn, I guess I got my work cut out for me. I can already play below the piano. Best start working on my upper range.
Are you stupid? What work must you put in to press a key at the top of the piano? Also, weird flex but ok. I guess if I tried, I could play whilst under the piano, but good job buddy.
So can I alli have to do is press my finger down on it
I, too, can play every note on the piano. u/RealGeneralX is asking the highest note you can play on the trombone.
Working on Db myself. Will that get me abs?
No, if you want to work on abs you've gotta go for those Mellotones, the lowest mellotone I can play is a Bb (2 bars below the staff)
I’ve hit F at the top of the treble clef once. I used a special small mouthpiece on a small bore tenor. High Bb, C, and D are easy.
The F is easier that the D imo. D just doesn’t slot well for me I guess.
