When the note's out of tune. Typically bottom D and Csharp are sharp on
most instruments, so you'll often see players yanking out the triggers
for all they're worth when hitting these notes. Isn't it the case that
the slide positions on a 'bone get closer together the higher up the
register you go ? As such, the tube lengths on a cornet must be a "best
average", so triggers can be used to compensate, just like you do with
your slide (and for what it's worth, exactly the same as a violinist
does as the fingerings get closer together the higher you play on a
particular string).
