To me, 6th and 7th positions are just useless because there are too many notes to play on those! F, C, E, F, A, and a whole lot more! and 7th is so hard to get to because your slide always comes out! i just use my trigger, what about you (for 6th and 7th)?

I think I used 6th position a few times but not very often, so yea they are kinda useless.

Triger? eek Wuzat?
(I feel really stupid... I don't know what a triger is and plus I don't think I've played half those notes in 6 or 7 position at all...)

I actually use sixth and seventh alot. Our band director likes the low F. I don't have the F attatchment, I wanted to get one but they're expensive and I just finished paying my trombone off last year. So I'll stick with my good buddy Mister Bone. Yes, he has a name, don't laugh. stare

After a while, the F-attachment leaks into your brain and takes over, making you forget that 6th and 7th positions ever existed stare

6th and 7th positions? What am I talking about?! I must be going crazy! gonk

i usually use my trigger for those positions, unless im playing a run or something that doesnt give me time to get my slide back up to first or second...plus my arm isnt quite long enough to reach 7th, i can only get to about 6 1/3!
