How many of y'all prefer playing a peashooter/small bore?
As I said, I'm curious how many here prefer playing a small bore, straight trombone. I got back into the trombone in my early 30s after having been pretty good as a teen/college age but not playing since. Since I started up again, I found I really have more fun on my 60s Conn peashooter horn I had previously only used for jazz. I have a Bach 42BO that was my go to symphonic horn but man, the peashooter is lighter, brighter, and I enjoy the lack of trigger options most of the time. It just feels more pure, if that makes any sense.
