For more information, see the HubPages article Backward Advances: Rear-Facing Trombones Throughout History, and [...]

Two Renaissance Trombones
Just added the below image and caption to the Trombone History Timeline (16th century). It’s a little like playing “Where’s Waldo,” but if you look closely, you’ll see two trombones there (be sure to click on the picture for a larger version). c. 1550—A leaf of various studies by artist Solis Virgit (1514-62) includes [...]

Trombone in Stained Glass
Several months ago I posted Canvas, Paper, Silver, and Glass: St. Cecilia Trombone Image in Many Forms, which included a trombone image in painted glass. Trombone images of this type seem to be relatively rare, but last week I added a stained-glass image from the small English village of Booton (Norfolk) to the Trombone History [...]

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. [...]

Trombone History: A Soldier I Will Be, Part 2
I’m told that more and more musicians in the job market are turning toward military bands as symphony orchestras struggle in the current financial climate. Interestingly enough, the history of the trombone in military bands actually goes back farther than it does in the traditional symphony orchestra. I also find it interesting that among the [...]

Look Ma, No Hands! Trombones in Two Cycling Bands
Look Ma, no hands! Well, almost. I added the below photo from New Zealand to the Trombone History Timeline (19th century, first half). It looks like at least one of the trombones is a valve trombone–I don’t know how anyone would play a slide trombone in such circumstances, although it’s probably been done! The Christchurch [...]
