The F Attachment and Bass Trombone

“The F Attachment and Bass Trombone” by Allan Ostrander includes excerpts from the orchestral literature designed to develop facility in the use of the F Attachment. This involves discussion of the F attachment and its use, the distance between positions, tuning slide, operation, and usefulness of the valve.

The techniques used for a system of teaching the F Attachment are the result of Mr. Ostrander’s prolific and scientific mind, and his dedication to diligently applying his vast knowledge of trombone playing. Professional musicians, educators and members of every facet of the commercial field have now recognized the unlimited value and potential of the F attachment for the bass trombone.
