Tuba The "Wagner Tuba" which is a smaller version of the tuba also known as the baritone horn. Wagner commissioned the famous instrument maker Adolphe Sax to make the instrument specifically for the purpose of illustrating the character of Hunding in the opera "The Valkyrie". Contrabass Trombone The contrabass trombone sounds an octave below the Tenor trombone. Wagner prefered it to the bass tuba using it alongside the tenor and bass trombones. It was definitely used in The Ring but I am not sure where else it was used.
All brass instruments (except the sousaphone) have slides. They are used to adjust the pitch, sharp of flat. The instrument that is played using a slide is the Trombone. It also has a slide on the back that is used to tune, or adjust pitch.
The pitch is changed on a trombone by moving the slide or changing your ombisture.
you cant
'buzzing' using your 'embouchure'
I'm sorry to say, but that is wrong. There are 7 positions on the trombone, starting on 1. You should google slide charts. [Eight.] [Usually there is only seven, but technically a trombone does have 8 positions. I'm pretty sure, seeing as one of my friends has been going to Allstate for 3 years. Though, if I'm wrong, you can hold it against me.] I'm very sure that the trombone only has SEVEN positions. I have played the trombone for six years and also take lessons. The only variation on the seven positions is when you play notes using the trigger, then the positions are somewhat blurred and you could say there are six positions, but this is a stretch. No form of the trombone has more than seven positions. Here are links to a few slide charts.

A trumpet player will probably be able to make a sound on the trombone, but a lack of skill in using the relatively large mouthpiece on a trombone will result in a low quality sound at best. Plus, playing a valved trumpet will usually not make for an easy experience trying to learn a slide trombone.For a bit of fun, ask a trombone player in your band if you can try his instrument out. Try using your trumpet mouthpiece to see what it's like.
When you extend the slide it changes the pich which changes the note
Using calipers, the bore size of a trombone is determined by measuring the inside diameter of the inner slide at the bottom. You must remove the outer slide to do this measurement. Extreme care should be taken when handling the inner slide for this measurement.
It plays in the same range as the trombone, but by using valves instead of a slide, it can more easily play technically demanding parts.
nothing changes, but you have the ability to pull the trigger on that particular type of trombone and by pulling the trigger, a 6th position C can turn into a 2nd position C. It will be the same note, only you are using the F attachment. You don't have to use the attachment, but it does make it easier to play 6th position notes, and im pretty sure it can help you reach lower notes.
Unlike the rest of the brass family, trombones change notes by moving a slide instead of using valves.
