Best CC case compatible with a Thayer valve tenor trombone?

2 Upvotes

I’ve heard that some CC cases fit rotary valve horns better than Thayer valves because the valve section is bulkier. Does anyone here use a CC case with a Thayer trombone? Which model do you recommend? Does the valve section fit comfortably without putting pressure on the Thayer?
Any brands or models I should avoid?
Photos of your setup would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

UC Berkeley & Trombone

7 Upvotes

So im an incoming freshman to Berkeley. Trombone is very important to me, but thinking its probably a good idea to get some science degree.

Definitely considering a minor (or dual major) in music

I'll be doing marching band at minimum 1st semester. On waiting list for an audition based ensemble (music 142) that will not sort out until after school starts.

I see there is a student run Jazz band. Definitely checking that out.

Something really cool is if you are in one of the music classes you get access to tutoring.

For me as a bass trombone player with aspirations to play contra trombone, my tuder would be someone named David Ridge. That guy is amazing! Plays bass and contra for the SF opera and SF symphony!

Anyways, wondering if any of you went to Berkeley?

And how was the music (trombone/brass) scene?

Seeking College Advice

7 Upvotes

I'm entering my senior year of high school this fall and I am fairly lost in regard to where I want to go and what I want to do. There is one thing I'm certain on though, I want to continue with music in some manner, preferably as either a second major or minor. I would appreciate any advice regarding my situation, from potential schools, what I should do to help determine it myself, what role I should allow music to play in my life, potential second or just majors to go alongside music, anything and everything would be appreciated!
Some more information that could help, I'm open to anything with nothing truly off the table, I live in a southwest suburb of Chicago if there's any particular schools in the area that would be recommended, and I'm academically strong enough I could most likely get into any school I wish (minus any ivies that sorta thing.) Thank you, and I appreciate any and all perspectives that are shared!
