Types of trombones! The history of Trombones!!!! ABOUT THE TROMBONE Early trombones - Early trombones were regularly used in groups with trumpets, where they were the lowest voice in the instrumental consort. - A tradition of music for these instruments continued into the 17th century when music for trumpets and trombones or cornets and sackbuts, to refer to their earlier name- was internationally popular with such eminent composers as Giovanni Gabrieli, Heinrich Schutz, and Henry Purcell. - The earliest type of trombone was called sackbut. - The bell's funnel was wider than 5 inches (13 cm) - In the early 17th century there was an alto, bass, and contrabass version.:O - Uses a slide - If you unwind it, the total is 9 feet - The instrument has a cup-shaped mouthpiece attached to a cylindrical length of tubing that expands toward a flared bell. - As with other brass instruments, the sound is produced by a vibrating column of air through the mouthpiece into the instruments coiled tubing. - Unlike the modern trumpet or french horn, which have valves that produce different notes, the trombone has long U-shaped slide that the player manipulates to produce a wide range of pitches
When the tubing of a trombone gets longer, the pitch of the sound produced decreases. This is because the longer tubing causes the air column within the instrument to vibrate at a lower frequency, resulting in a lower pitch.
The trigger routs air through an additional loop of tubing, which results in pitches being lowered by a fourth. On bass trombones, there is a second trigger, which lowers the pitch by an additional fifth.

The tubing on the brass instruments is curved to get a long tube into a short length.
