Glad to hear it. I just had a talk with my director about it, and he educated me about pedal tones (fingerings, etc). It seems there are two classes of pedals: the 'bended' tones (from F to pedal C#) and the 'true' pedal tones that sound like a bass trombone in comparison to a regular trombone (pedal C down).
What is the C below pedal C called?
