Bagpipes vs. Trombones

Now here is a reenactment I could get involved with. It is the fourth murial from the top.

My surname is Stauber and my ancestor Paul Christian Stauber came to the colonies from Frankfurt in 1750 as a Moravian. I have played the trombone for 40 years. I had no idea the Moravians played the trombone.

You learn something new every day. Many thanks for sharing that! We have a lady in our Scottish Society who is from NC originally, and she is the one who first told me about the Moravian settlements. I'll have to share this with her.

There's a story about a Moravian church in PA which was about to be attacked by Indians. The trombone choir was playing inside the church building, and when the Indians heard the sound they ran away, convinced that they couldn't defeat a monster which sounded like that!

Let the record show that I am a trombone player.
