Yep what Matt said!

Macro: Corona. I just cant get enough.
Craft: Oskar Blues Ten FIDY. My favorite beer. It's a fantastic Imperial Stout, and black, thick, tasty, 10.5% ABV. What's not to like?
Import: Wells Banana Bread Beer. It's beer brewed with bananas. It's a good one for changing things up every now and again.

Honorable Mention: Nitro Milk Stout from Left Hand Brewery in Longmont, CO. The best, tastiest, most delicious beer on Earth. No hyperbole intended. It's a magical experience. If you're ever anywhere near Denver, make the drive to Longmont. It's worth it. It's available in the bottle, but nowhere near as good as draft.

When I was in college the second time, I drank Simpler Times from Trader Joes. $2.99 for a six pack of 6.2% ABV lager was a no brainer. It's $3.50 now, still worth it on those months where the budget is tight.

If you have trouble with the threaded nut moving when it shouldn't, try Teflon tape. I have it on all my threads, including my Doug Elliott mouthpiece.

Depends on preparation.
I know an alto sub for the LCJO (He is taking Ted Nashes seat for next week) that says that you should be prepared that when you play at 75% it is still excalent.
Unfortunetly, with other classes, this isn't always practical for me.

Get into a habit of cleaning your trombone.

I clean my outerslide every week and the stockings on my inner slide every week, sometimes even more depends on how much I play.

I then clean the bore maybe once a month to make sure nothing is lurking in there.

Take care your trombone and then you only have to worry about how you want to play.

  

Let me know if you have one, thanks!

Hi everyone,

I've spent a couple of hours on the instrument so far today.  Here are some quick first impressions.  More details to follow in the next couple of days as I get more familiar with it.

1.  It's lovely.  Fit and finish are excellent.
2.  The bell is fairly lightweight in feel.
3.  This is my first experience with the pillars.  Very interesting!  It definitely seems to affect feel and sound.  So far, I like it better with the soft pillar.  I'll try to do a blind test.
4.  Slots really well in both high and low range.
5.  Slide action is excellent.

I'll be back later.  I really like it so far.  I believe that they have a winner.
