Edwards

Well for the first time in nine years I sit at home while my co-workers and artists work the ITF & ITG. I have heard that people are asking “where’s Christan?”. Since these two shows overlapped I made the decision to stay in house and do development work. We have some high priority projects (Eb Trumpet & new Tenor/Bass models) that need to be worked on and when I have to travel it takes 2-3 weeks to get ready for the show and 2-4 weeks to recover and get caught up from the show. I miss seeing all of the musicians but hope that you will understand that I want to complete some projects and keep things pushing forward at the homefront.

Ron Knaflic, Paul Tynan, and Leonard Candelaria are representing Edwards at the ITG while Josh Brown, Chris Branagan, and Paul Compton are heading the trombone front in Vegas. If you are in the area drop by the booth and say hello.

Getting to work with so many talented musicians is certainly rewarding and I’d like to thank each and every Edwards customer for being a part of our lives.

Regards,

Christan

When is the last time you played with too much condensation in your trombone? Well Brian Allen took this thought and went even farther. Listen to his sound clip of water trombone which made it’s way to NPR.

Not only does he play full time, teach full time, present masterclasses and guest performances full time, he also brings trombone players welcome relief with his new trombone case.

Joseph Alessi’s Bone Caddy is sure to be a hit among trombonists tired of dealing with back and shoulder pain and the endless hassles of airline travel. This case blends in with all the other roll cases seen in airport concourses around the world. Joe has not had any problems fitting the Bone Caddy in overhead compartments (small puddle jumpers not included — gate check the case in those situations).

The Bone Caddy will be available starting June 1. Visit www.edwards-instruments.com/caddy/ for more details.
