Edwards

Kyle Samuelson and Mike Dugan were recently spotted playing the national anthem at Lambeau Field in Green Bay. The photo below was taken during one of the rehearsals.

I’m convinced James Markey can do anything on the bass trombone. Check out this video preview of his upcoming CD, On Base, and I think you’ll agree.

Occasionally, Mike and Ron take their trombones out into nature. This past weekend, they decided to practice excerpts and serenade riders at the Lapham Peak Cyclocross race. Ron actually pulled double duty… he joined Mike on the hill after placing 5th overall in his Cat 3 race.

Excerpts heard:

Fat Bottomed Girls
Theme song from Sanford & Son
Eye of the Tiger
Chameleon
Sesame Street
Jeopardy theme song
Back in Black

No one advanced, but no one was cut during this round of playing.

I can’t remember how many times I’ve had to tell our shop visitors that they don’t have to purchase a case in order to get their new Edwards home. Don’t get me wrong… we’ll be happy to sell you a great case, but it’s just not necessary to keep your horn protected during shipment.

We wrap each instrument in bubble wrap (the heavy duty kind). Trombone slides and bell sections are wrapped separately. Then we place the bubble-wrapped components on a bed of packing peanuts in a sturdy box. More packing peanuts go on top before the box is sealed. Below you’ll see a photo of a trombone being prepared to ship.
