Although rare on the E ♭ alto trombone, a valve attachment usually lowers the instrument a perfect fourth into B ♭, providing the first five or six positions from the tenor trombone slide. Some alto models have what is called a trill valve , providing a small loop of tubing that lowers the instrument by only a minor or major second, into D ...
The soprano trombone (sometimes called a slide trumpet or slide cornet, especially in jazz) is the soprano instrument in the trombone family of brass instruments, pitched in B♭ an octave above the tenor trombone.
