Welcome to the autumn ISSUE OF THE BTS magazine Welcome to the Autumn edition of The Trombonist. We hope you all had a lovely summer and you’re now back to your Lafosse and Schlossberg! We are pleased to announce that the winner of our 1929 G Bass Trombone competition is Chris Hampson, with his correct answer to “Who was the last orchestral G bass trombonist in the UK?”. The answer was indeed Frank Mills. Well done Chris! As the magazine competition is proving very popular, we have yet another amazing prize to give away - this time it’s a hand crafted wooden cup mute that will be custom built to fit your trombone. Turn to page 8 for more information... Yes, it’s time to get your creative hats on again! With best wishes, Carol & Simon drop us a line: editor@britishtrombonesociety.org
