Q: What is the dynamic range of a bass trombone?
A: On or off.

I'm told that a century ago in England, it was standard practice for orchestra trombonists to play all notes forte and staccato, regardless of the notated dynamic or duration. No joke!

--be interesting to hear Elgar played that way, in the interests of historic authenticity...
