[Dixielandjazz] left handed trombone

[ROBERT R. CALDER]

Bob could always look at one of the YouTube things featuring Slide Hampton and 
see whether he has made any obvious changes. Slide's a veteran left-hander, 
although it seems nobody told the people putting together the inlay for a CD 
front which can be seen online, in which he is the wrong way round. 

I should have a copy of the CD of his big band of seventeen trombonists & 
rhythm. If I can find it I'll look to see whether there are any others of the 
same unusual orientation. 

Presumably somebody has asked Slide about this?

Last week, for the first time in my 85 years, I saw a left handed slide trombone 
player!  Did he need a special instrument or do regular trombones allow 
adjustment by rotation?  Only trombone players reply please - I want to get it 
right.  bob b
