Hal Leonard has published Vincent Cichowicz: Fundamental Studies for the Developing Trombone Player. The new collection by Vincent’s son Michael Cichowicz, Mark Dulin, Tim Higgins and Toby Oft features studies that represent the core principles of Cichowicz’s brass teaching adapted for trombone and euphonium players. The late Cichowicz was a member of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and a faculty member at Northwestern University. Each study has been professionally recorded by Higgins and Oft. The book includes access to demonstration audio tracks online for download or streaming.
The PRS SE A20E Angelus Cutaway body shape delivers comfort and playability and is well-suited for picking and fingerstyle playing. The all-mahogany body gives the PRS SE A20E an organic, warm voice. A parlor-sized acoustic with a solid spruce top, the SE A20E features figured maple back and sides. This body size offers bold projection with more focused tone, and the maple back and sides provide warmth and tonal transparency.
