Matthew Guilford, Bass/3rd Trombonist of the National Symphony Orchestra, stopped by Virtuosity to share his experiences with Edwards Bass and Tenor trombones, as well as a few stories from his career.

It turns out Matthew's been playing Edwards trombones longer than many of our customers have been alive! Take a listen and find out why.

P.S. Yes, he IS playing a 0.5 on tenor in the last excerpt. ;)

    I missed the part where he said why he plays Edwards trombones.
  • @Sherman1fan
    What mouthpiece do you use for Tenor? I think I missed that. Looks like another Deco but not the 0.5.

    take my opinion with a grain of salt, but using the 2nd valve is better than 1st because imo more slide tubing is better than vice versa. I use the 2nd valve about 5050 with my first. I use it for Db, C, Gb, F and sometimes E and B. For first valve, i use it for E, Eb, D, B, and sometimes C, Bb and Db. I would argue that most professional players use 1st and 2nd equally.
