Another Ophicleide in French Church
Yesterday I added the below entry and image to the blog post, Serpent & Ophicleide: History and Images. Including a few others I have recently added, that post now features 87 images! There are exceptions, but one of the things that is most readily apparent is just how many of the pictures originate from France. [...]

French Infantry Musicians: Serpent, Trombone, and Ophicleide
Today I added the below image and caption to the 19th century timeline (1st half). A couple of things seem noteworthy: 1) a rear-facing trombone is featured and 2) both a serpent and an ophicleide are shown (often the latter is thought of as a replacement for the former, making it somewhat unusual to include [...]

Fan of the Ophicleide? 66 Ophicleide and Serpent Images
Are you a fan of the ophicleide? Some months ago I posted a collection of ophicleide images I had happened across while doing trombone research. Never one to leave well enough alone, I have expanded the post considerably since then, adding serpent images as well. There are now 66 ophicleide and serpent images in the [...]

Four New Ophicleide Pics
I just added four more ophicleide pictures to my earlier post, Ophicleide History and Images, bringing the total to 21 pictures. Here’s one of them, below, from Félix Vobaron’s ophicleide method (which also includes a trombone in the background).

One Man Bands
Over the weekend I posted a just-for-fun article on HubPages—One Man Bands: The Ultimate Multi-Taskers. There isn’t a lot that’s trombone-related, although a couple of the images include low brass, both predecessors to the tuba: one picture with an ophicleide and another with a serpent. There are also several videos that are kind of entertaining. [...]

Behind the Barracks at the Theatre Artistique
This afternoon I added the below image and caption to the Trombone History Timeline (19th century, 2nd half). Yet another image of an over-the-shoulder (or rear-facing) trombone. There is a steady stream of iconography showing these trombones from the late 1700s to the late 1800s. The majority of the images are from France and Belgium. [...]

Trombone History: Monster Concert
I recently got a hold of a bigger version of this “monster concert” held by Jullien in London. As you can see from the details, there are more trombones than just the 4 that are easiest to see in the top of the first section. Farther up, in the full row below the huge bass [...]

Trombone History: Headed Both Ways
Added the below image and entry to the 19th Century Trombone History Timeline (first half). It is noteworthy because it appears to show both rear-facing and traditional trombones playing in the same ensemble. It also represents yet another rear-facing trombone image; these pictures turn up surprisingly often throughout the 19th century. I also added the [...]

Trombone History: Domestic Joys
Added the below entry and image to the Trombone History Timeline (19th century, first half). Interesting related themes include Females in Trombone History and rear-facing trombones. 1865—Paris, France: A satirical graphic titled Domestic joys of parents whose daughters take part in women’s orchestras, published in Le monde illustré, includes a woman playing a rear-facing trombone [...]
