also I got the hang of the Shilke 59 / MK Drawing GR50 lead pipe / Getzen 1052FDR #basstrombone setup through the season. I hit some phat pedals I'm proud of. I asked the composer of one chart if I could crackle a forte pedal G into the band on a mezzoforte ending and he got excited. nailed it #trombone
it's amazing how a leadpipe will open an instrument up. got it responding just the way I like it with that combo. was gonna mouthpiece shop but I adapted to the Shilke 59 and it's working great for me
