  2. Valve trombone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valve_trombone

    The valve trombone emerged concurrently with the invention of valves in the early 19th century. Most early instruments retained the shape and form of the slide trombone, employing three valves with the tubing arranged in place of the slide; others used the new valve mechanism as an opportunity to explore different configurations while retaining the overall cylindrical bore and bell profile.

  3. Trombone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trombone

    The valve trombone is an exception, using three valves similar to those on a trumpet, and the superbone has valves and a slide. The word "trombone" derives from Italian tromba (trumpet) and -one (a suffix meaning "large"), so the name means "large trumpet".

  4. Superbone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superbone

    The Superbone can be played as a slide trombone, a valve trombone, or in combination. Using the slide and valves in combination requires the slide positions to be adjusted, just as when using the trigger of an F attachment on a tenor or bass trombone. Using the slide with the first and third valves engaged has the same effect as using an F ...

  5. Bass trombone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bass_trombone

    The bass trombone (German: Bassposaune, Italian: trombone basso) is the bass instrument in the trombone family of brass instruments.Modern instruments are pitched in the same B♭ as the tenor trombone but with a larger bore, bell and mouthpiece to facilitate low register playing, and usually two valves to fill in the missing range immediately above the pedal tones.

  6. Alto trombone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alto_trombone

    Modern instruments are sometimes fitted with a valve to lower the pitch, either by a semitone to D (known as a "trill" valve), or by a fourth into B ♭, analogous to the B ♭ /F valve configuration found on tenor and bass trombones. The B ♭ valve makes alternative slide positions available for notes in longer positions, and allows the range ...

  7. Contrabass trombone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contrabass_trombone

    The contrabass trombone (German: Kontrabassposaune, Italian: trombone contrabbasso) is the lowest-pitched instrument in the trombone family of brass instruments.While modern instruments are pitched in 12 ft (12 ′) F with a single slide, the first practical contrabass trombones appeared in the mid-19th century built in 18 ′ B♭ an octave below the tenor trombone with a double slide.

  8. Marching brass - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marching_brass

    Through the 1940s and 1950s, corps experimented with sanding down the tuning slide to be as quick and smooth in operation as a trombone slide, to allow quick changes in tuning to reach notes within overtone series of the keys of F# and F. Combined with the piston valve, this allowed for notes within the overtone series of D ♭ and C. Many ...

  9. Slide (wind instrument) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slide_(wind_instrument)

    In instruments such as the trombone and slide whistle, moving the slide is the way to select the note while playing. Attempts to adapt other wind instruments to use slides instead of tone holes, keys or valves have been tried; for example a slide saxophone was invented in the 1920s by Chicago instrument maker Reiffel & Husted.
