Slides on any valved brass instrument can be adjusted for tuning, but they don't move enough to completely change notes.
A trombone has no valve- only a slide. A valve trombone, or a marching trombone, though, have three valves.
yes. Valve trombones are better for faster music and improvising. They're used most often in jazz bands.
A lot. Although they look similar they are played differently. The main difference is the mechanism used to create the notes/pitches. The valve trombone is basically a baritone horn in the shape of a trombone. It uses a combination of 3 valves like a trumpet to generate the different pitches by the vibration of the player's lips in the mouth piece and the combination of valves pressed down. A slide trombone uses a slide to change the wave length of the ptich combined with the vibration of the player's lips in the mouthpiece. Notes or pitches rely upon sound waves. To change pitch you change the length of the sound wave. The valve trombone uses valves to chnages the course of the air producing the sound wave to lengthen it or shorten it. The slide trombone does this by moving the slide up or down.
Marching Trombone> It looks like a large trumpet. It allows for easier marching , not having to use the slide.
A trombonist uses both the slide on the trombone and his mouth to control the notes.
The trombone uses a slide instead of a valve to change pitch. The slide allows the player to extend or shorten the length of the instrument's tubing, which alters the pitch produced. By moving the slide to different positions, trombonists can access various notes and create a smooth glissando effect. This mechanism distinguishes the trombone from other brass instruments that utilize valves for pitch alteration.
A slide control. It uses a single slide valve rather than individual smaller valves to change the pitch of the instrument.

Yes. There is an instrument called a "valve trombone", which basically looks like a trombone except that the slide doesn't move and there are three valves near the mouthpiece that look a lot like trumpet valves. In fact, trumpet players are often asked to play valve trombone in middle and high school jazz bands when no regular trombone players are around to fill the seat. This is possible because the fingerings on a valve trombone are exactly the same as those on a trumpet. Some trombone players, me included, find the valve trombone to have a somewhat flatter (tone, not pitch) sound than a traditional trombone. However, a good enough musician can easily achieve a beautiful sound on a valve trombone. Additionally, there is a horn called a marching trombone that also three valves. It is similar to a baritone, but the tubing length and bore sizes are closer to those of a trombone.
The difference with the trombone is that it is the only instrument with a slide. That slide is what makes it unique.
A Trombone. The slide allows the trombone to play lower pitches.
A slide control. It uses a single slide valve rather than individual smaller valves to change the pitch of the instrument.
