Bass trombone and trombone with f attachment?

Question

first off what is the difference between the two. also i have a tenor trombone and am currently in the market for a trombone that can hit a pedal b flat to a high f (above the bar) also i was wondering with a trombone with an f attachment, how do you play the notes from a low f to a pedal b flat ? Thanks for your input

Answer 1

the difference between tenor w./ f attachment & bass bone?

1. bass bone has a larger bore

2. bass bone usually has 2 valves (not just one like tenor w./ f attach)

3. larger bell diameter on bass bone

positions for notes low f through pedal Bb;

F (T1)

E (T2)

Eb (T3)

D (T4)

Db (T5)

C (T6)

B (T7)

Bb (1)

T=trigger

note; like all pitches on trombone, the positions are relative. in the lower register-you should play the positions a bit flat because of the trigger.
