You can order special heavyweight gold or yellow brass bells, too. They produce undistorted low, dark qualities or high vibrant, forceful sounds. Bach offers a standard yellow brass handslide, as well as a lightweight handslide of corrosion-resistant nickel silver. The lightweight slide has nickel silver tubing on the outer slide tubes, responding quickly.

The bass trombone has a large bore and bell with deeper tone and a lower register. The bass trombone is essential voice in trombone sections, and plays an important role in brass bands, big bands, orchestras, jazz, and other ensembles.The valve trombone is basically a standard tenor trombone with valves rather than a movable slide. It provides a convenient way for players who are used to playing valves to “double” on the trombone.

The three most common types of trombone are straight tenor, trigger-type tenor (also referred to as F-rotor or F-attachment), and bass trombones. Valve trombones, alto trombones, soprano trombones, and marching trombones are less common (but well loved) trombone types. Tenor and bass are by far the most common trombone voicings.

The valve trombone comes in many sizes, though tenor is the most common. In many parts of Europe, South America, and India, it is more popular than the slide trombone. The valves allow it to play fast tempos with more ease and precision than the slide trombone.Today, the alto trombone is found primarily in orchestral settings and is often used for soloing. Though pitched higher than the tenor trombone, much of its range can be covered by the the tenor instrument.

The trombone is the only modern orchestral brass instrument that could play all the notes of the chromatic scale from the beginning. But they weren’t in early orchestras. Composers thought they were only for solemn music. When composers write music for the trombone they usually write it for three trombones to play at a time and they usually play the harmony.

The trombone sounds as written which is different from other brass instruments. This is true because it sounds the note as written in the music. It is the brass instrument that uses the glissando the most.

When he squeezes or loosens his lips this changes the sound. A trombone can also do a glissando, which is where the player goes up to a note or down from a note, playing all the notes in between by just moving the slide.
