@ynwtf 's post has me curious...about woodwinds, but actually brass. In a trumpet for instance....3 valves. Is it true that breath pressure...and....lips shape helps get those notes out the way you want them?
I have theory personally...but I have to know...can I find those notes I seek by just "blowing" with the right intention...like whistling? With whistling you kind of wing it. 3 valves are not a lot of valves....not tons and tons of combinations....and the whole tuning thing...does that require good oil and keeping the spit valves clean?
With a trombone, I'd imagine it's like a theramin...very measured movements in veryu, very small intervals...very close movements...no long strides as you see in the movies, or episodes of Columbo, or at marching band parades......
