Abstract
The author has realized that the trombone can be used as a low tech device to demonstrate many of the principles of acoustics. This is especially true when one considers all the extended techniques that have been developed for the instrument. A sampling of them could include (but not be limited to) multiphonics creating beats, playing lip buzzes through the various parts of the instrument giving audible information about the signal processing path, mouthpieces slaps to illustrate resonance, inhaling while playing to put an interesting take on brass pedagogy, showing how the water key can indicate the presence of nodes and antinodes and how the instrument provides very little feedback in the extreme high register. Live demonstrations will be presented.
