=========================

There is an article in the September 11, 1999 issue of New Scientist
about very low frequencies found in planetary resonances.
Apparently, the Earth itself resonates at a number of pitches ranging
from 2 to 7 mHz (i.e., 0.002 to 0.007 Hz), 16 octaves below middle C
according to the article
(http://www.newscientist.com:80/ns/19990911/theplanett.html).  The
waves are not caused by earthquakes or aftershocks, and in fact can
be detected only during quiet periods between quakes.  The amplitude
is so low that the authors estimate the energy of the waves as
totalling 500 W for the entire planet.  The current theory is that
the waves are caused by variations in air pressure: the Earth as
planetary aeolian harp....

Hey, there's a contrabass trombone on Ebay. Go to http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=175822542   to check out the contrabass trombone. it's a Mirafone, which primarily makes low brass. It looks pretty nice to me; compared to my old Conn it's a godsend.

  Yep, similar to mine. I have an older one also. The newer model "57F" is a .562 bore. Mine is a .620 bore. They used to be larger bore.
