actually that's my primary inst. The trombone. (actually bass
trombone, though I play tenor mostly these days)

I take my "camping bone" in my Westy (VC) and have been known to
practice at roadsides or parking lots. I played ONCE (mf) in a camp
site. Didn't feel to welcome doing that.

I don't practice gliss's though..... ;)

They're just so base!

Er, um bass!
