      I am a horn player but when it comes to single instrument brass choirs, the trombone is the best as their range is excellent and they don't lose power in the lower registers. Tubas are too low, trumpets are too high and horns lose their bass voice if not careful and we lack the clarity of the start of each note. I love all of the brass and wish I could play the trombone but I lack the air due to asthma. (At least I can still play the horn and trumpet professionally).

A big part of that is obviously the quality of the players and I'll presume that the location was also chosen for COVID and the acoustics (And not the occasional passers-by!

    Playing any instrument well with total control is incredibly difficult. To play the trombone well is exceptionally difficult. It's rare that you hear the instrument truly played well. Intonation is the culprit - and mastering that on top of being able to produce an open even tone throughout the range is key. These players are absolutely first class trombonists. Bravo - extremely well done!
