Back at it after a very long absence

[papabird]

About 8 years ago I sold the trombone that I bought with my summer job back in 1982 (King 2104 4B with F-attachment). It was a great instrument.

After family, kids, jobs, then divorce got in the way, I hadn't played it in about 7 years. So I thought that it should go to somebody that will get some use our of it.

For the last six months or so I have been getting the itch to get a horn and start playing again.

A couple of weeks I decided to just finally do it and ending up purchasing a new Yamaha YSL-640. It is a medium-bore horn with f-attachment. A really nice horn.

I picked up the Arban method book to get my chops back in shape and have been playing almost daily. I've really missed it.

Hope to learn plenty here.

Thanks
Roger

Welcome back to the brotherhood of the trombone!

Welcome! My horns had been in the case for years except pulling out the euphonium for Tuba Christmas. This winter I kept playing a bit every day (mostly 3bf) and found a community band to join. They gave me an enthusiastic welcome. This forum is a great resource.

I've been lurking here since before I picked up my new horn. Definitely some wisdom here.

Welcome!
I took a lot of time off (32 years) For me it was too long, I didn't remember anything. I started from scratch. It has been a wonderful and rewarding journey for me and others coming back. The knowledge base here is incredible as is the helpful nature of those that actively post.
I'm looking at ditching my 607F for a ysl-640, nice horn!
