Question:

Can someone tell me how to hold a Yamaha YBH-301M marching baritone?

This is my 1st year marching it. I've been playing it for almost a year now and have played trombone for 4 years. I'm just not sure where the thumbs go, any help?


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: You basically hold it like a trumpet. The right hand's for the valves and the left hand supports the majority of the weight. The left thumb goes at the "hook" thing (I can't remember what it's called at the moment) and your right thumb can go along the tube near the valves.
