I haven't done enough arrangement work to comment on how this compares with other instruments or groups of multiple instruments. Also, I'm sure if I played on a finely-crafted and well-tuned grand I would the lower registers more flexible. | |

It's true, trombones can be particularly problematic, both because of their piercing midrange SPL and the often less-than-ideal intonation, but still. And, even F2-A2-C3 is a perfectly usable chord in the right setting. What's more important than absolute limits is to make the harmonic structure clear, and keep in mind what just-intonation ratio each interval corresponds to. | |
