[Dixielandjazz] Trombone Keys

[Dr. P. De Bruyn]

We should rather mention "Trombonist" keys. The trombone as an instrument
has little limitations towards the keys.
As for the quy who's playing the instrument, that's another story.
I personally don't like playing in C. Do prefer Bb, Eb,Ab. Or F.
Must be my limited musical skills !
