Abstract
The problems with which this paper will deal will be
limited to the fingerings and/or slide positions and their
effect upon intonation and technique as well as a few recommendations
for checking the intonation of a new instrument.
Other problems relative to embouchure, inferior instruments,
or selection and use of a proper mouthpiece will not be discussed
as they would present too many problems which are so
variable as to be confusing to the main topic.It will be the purpose of this paper to explain the
uses of these valve and slide combinations, to explain their
weaknesses, to show possible supplementary fingerings, to explain
the evolution of our present brass wind instruments and
to show some possible fingering combinations which may not
ordinarily be used but which would be helpful.
