I had a look at this. Anyone spend time on it? Thoughts?

I bought this and worked with it for a time.

Some good exercises to make use of both triggers.

Not really an introductory book; you need to have some familiarity with the valves.

Not a heavy technique builder like Teele

Is it unique? No. But if you want to work your bass chops it's good.

It is a very good book for bass trombone development.

Faulise has three books: the one you mentioned (the original; a routine book for dependent valve players), a similar book for independent valve players, and then a book confusingly called Volume 2: The Basics, which is a method to introduce the bass trombone for new players, doublers, etc. I only have the first one, and adapted it for independent valves. I’ve seen the other two. Definitely recommended.

I have the 1st and independent book. The original is the better of the two.
