In regards to:

  • Kang, Mandip (2006). The Performance Edinburgh: Scottish Music Foundation.

"Scottish Music Foundation" and "Kang, Mandip" Trombone only returns hits to this article and mirrors. "Mandip Kang" Trombone returns no hits. Im running out of ideas. John Vandenberg 06:41, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

This reference was propagated when the article was split. I researched the article Trombones and found that the ref had been added by 88.106.9.39. Seems to be vandalism. Check this diff and this diff by this user. I have removed the reference from both articles. --DRoll 10:43, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
Thats strange, as that users other contributions dont appear to be problematic. Anyway, if not vandalism, it was certainly senseless. Nice work. John Vandenberg 10:58, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] "tenorbass"?

as a moderately serious amateur player in the northeast US, I've been playing a large bore symphonic tenor with F attachment (a Conn 88H) since the mid-80's and have never heard anyone call this sort of instrument a "tenorbass" trombone. where is this terminology still in use? --Sommerfeld 13:50, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] In response to Tenorbass???

I believe that the term "tenorbass" is no longer in use, but once referred to a slightly larger version of the common tenor trombone. This tenorbass trombone was slightly smaller than the bass, so it became known as the tenorbass. I realize this is very helpful, but I do know that the term was used in the 20th century.

Ok. Seems like it would be better to rewrite the article to highlight the terminology currently used. I'll tweak in that direction. --Sommerfeld 22:02, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Mouthpiece

What kind of mouthpiece does a soprano trombone use? A friend says all trombones use the same size mouthpiece but this seems impractical. Badagnani (talk) 07:53, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

It definitely doesn't use a tenor mouthpiece. I believe it uses a trumpet mouthpiece, though it may use something nearly identical. Small-shank tenor pieces can be used on alto, but most players have a hard time finding a single mouthpiece that works well for them on both horns. This is all OR, though... - Special-T (talk) —Preceding comment was added at 00:06, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] neutrality?

I'm removing the tag (template) that states that the neutrality of the article is in question. (I've poked around the policy and template pages and can't find anything that says this is a no-no.) The edit summary upon adding that tag says that some descriptions may be derogatory. I've just read through the article and can't see any support for that. - Special-T (talk) 00:25, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Slidepos.gif

Image:Slidepos.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.
