Hi Craig,
You are right about the orchestral trombones. Perhaps some bigbands
have 3rd tbn. players with triggers, but here in NYC I rarely see
that. Nobody wants to play a solo on an instrument with an attachment,
and solos get passed around within the section fairly frequently.
Maybe it's an east coast/west coast thing? Most of the bands I play in,
here in San Diego and up in L.A. have players who use triggers on 2nd
and 3d chair. I prefer having a trigger even on my 3B not so much for
the low range as for the added flexibility it gives me (there are
passages that flow better using the trigger, and it can make page turns
simpler if you cal play with one hand). A lot of the bands I work with
have 1 Bach 26 or similar on 3rd, and a 3B or 36 on 2nd chair, with only
the lead player playing a 'straight' horn, and I've found it gives the
band a fatter sound.
But ... different strokes, eh?
All the more perplexing why a product as great as Garritan
is couldn't have been more accomodating for those different
strokes -- they should have known that people would want to
use Garritan product for their musical projects, not that
people would shape their musical projects so that they could
use Garritan products. With their limited ranges on their
instruments, they're saying in essence "make your music fit
our products or use different products." Which of course
for most of us is out of the question, once we pay for the
Garritan products. It's not as if we're made of money, and
can afford to have a ton of sample libraries of the quality
and price of Garritan's products just so that we can be sure
we can produce accurate demos of our projects.
