1956 S. Traill Play that Music viii. 87 Some players achieve a sort of ‘blue note’ effect by ‘half-valving’, which would mean, in our particular example, pressing the middle valve (for a correct E♭) half down. The distortion of tone which this produces is not very attractive, and I would discourage ‘half-valving’ altogether.
