 * Other genres: jazz, brass/wind bands, pop, etc.
 * References, for range, repertoire sections:
 * orchestration texts: Berlioz, Prout, Alder, Kennan & Grantham
 * journals: Historical Brass Soc. J, Galpin Soc J.
 * Mention somewhere the (in)famously (im)possible Bartók glissando, from B-F
 * Defer/link to content in trombone, cimbasso, contrabass trombone
 * And finally, nominate for Good Article status!

Split operation in progress
Please note, this article is in the process of being split out from the Types of trombone article (see discussion on the talk page). I had to copy the (largely poorly cited) material verbatim first, to preserve some form of history, and I am going through an editing process over the next week or two to add references. This will largely rely on sources like Praetorious, the Historical Brass Society and Galpin Society journals, and the two main reference books by Guion and Herbert. Please feel free to join in! — Jon (talk) 22:21, 28 February 2022 (UTC)
