@bikepedantic Oh that's neat, I didn't realize that they have a front bike mount on the fender. That's handy. I wonder if that works properly with the B&M beam pattern.
@bikepedantic I transported a trombone and trombonist on a tandem a few times but I never got him to play while I pedaled. What a missed opportunity! Although, I think bakfiets have some clear advantages with the front carry position with trombones. Maybe I can convince my 13yo neighbor to ride on the back of the GSD playing her trumpet. My kid plays the baritone sax and that's a big replacement value if something goes wrong.
@HayiWena Yeah, we (over)thought about this, that most trombonists really need to be in a box, because the back bench of a GSD/longtail perches them up there without the ability to hold anything for balance.
That said, we had one awesome trombonist who declared up front that it was his "dream" to play facing backward on a longtail, and we made that dream come true. We also stuck a claronet player who didn't RSVP on a GSD, as well as a trumpeteer on an extracycle
