BCC99Man Posted August 23, 2003 Share Posted August 23, 2003 oh, just wondering, what does it mean if a trombone has a dual bore? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trptjock Posted August 23, 2003 Share Posted August 23, 2003 A trombone with a dual bore refers to the way the handslide is constructed. For example you can order a ML bore straight tenor trombone (pea shoter) from Bach with a dual bore slide which means that the slide tube in the hand slide will have two bore sizes. The slide in which the mouthpiece will go on will be one size (around a .500) and the other side of the hand slide will usually be or a larger bore (around a .508-.512 bore). Tenor and Bass Trombones are usually the culprits of having a dual bore horn. Especially the ones that are played by professionals in major symphony orchestras. Hope this clears it up.

gemma Posted August 23, 2003 Share Posted August 23, 2003 Yamaha now makes a small dual bore tenor trombone, the 697 model. The bore opens from .483 to .490. This horn has only been available for about 8 months and after playing on one for a few weeks I decided to change my primary instrument (I was playing a small Bach #8). This is an incredible horn.

BCC99Man Posted August 24, 2003 Share Posted August 24, 2003 is a dual bore a good thing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sburstall Posted August 24, 2003 Share Posted August 24, 2003 What basically is the percent breakdown of rose and yellow brass? Why? I've been messing around with FMEAs on I-DEAS with tubes and bends and want to see the bending and shearing properies of horn metal. The chemical books I have don't list these...and many of the brass companies protect the metal compositions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gemma Posted August 24, 2003 Share Posted August 24, 2003 is a dual bore a good thing? It depends on personal preference. I like the Yamaha I mentioned above. I like playing small horns but with a dual bore the horn plays very open (less resistance). However, not all players will like this. Try some out for yourself and see which you like better.
