Are single valve bass bones no longer used for the most part in high school anymore?
Single valve bass bones are a dying breed. I still like them and prefer them in some cases over the double valve. A double valve is almost a must when considering All-State audition music tends to have low c and b naturals.
On a side note, I absolutely hate to see a middle school kid playing on a double valve bass bone with a 1G mouthpiece.
JMO.
Thanks for the follow up.
Which company(ies) still make single valve bassbones outside of the scrap metal trombones on Ebay?
We have a Reynolds single valve bass at my high school, but it's the worst I've ever seen.
