Album NL 2009 on Music Center The Netherlands label
Jazz (Bop)
Recorded live on August 17, 1957, photos included from the concert. From a Kai Winding fan website: A trombonium is built like a baritone horn (complete with three valves), except that it retains the same bore size and tube length dimensions as a standard tenor trombone. The exact same mouthpiece is used on a trombonium that would be used on a tenor trombone. People who have played these instruments say that they are a bit more mellow in sound than a standard tenor trombone. King® manufactured tromboniums from the 1950s through the 1970s. Other manufacturers such as Olds® also made tromboniums. Except for their work in jazz, these were used primarily for marching band ensembles, pep bands sitting in bleachers, and other organizations like drum & bugle corps. A good example of modern day use of tromboniums is the fact that these instruments are featured within the precision music group "Blast" (which was a 2001 Tony® Award Winner). A trombonium is a good choice where the sound of a trombone is needed but there isn't space to accommodate the use of a slide.
