Re: [OM] way OT, trombones now.

Does the term 'wonder-bra' come to mind?????

Just kidding.  A standard tenor trombone is one continuous section of 
'tubing' starting at the mouthpiece and culminating at the bell.  An 
F-attachment is an 'extra' bit of tubing that's coiled up in (on?) the upper 
(above the shoulder) portion of the instrument that's selectable to be either 
in the airstream or not via a valve mechanism of one kind or another (usually 
rotary keys).  The 'extra' tubing this inserts into the airstream enables the 
instrument to play certain notes unattainable on a straight tenor horn.
