thats where the sound comes out.
Obviously the smaller tenor trombone would have room to spare inside a bass bag.
The main ancestor is the sackbut, a medieval version of the trombone which is smaller and has a smaller bell
A bell brace on a trombone is a structural component that connects the bell section of the instrument to the main slide. Its primary function is to provide stability and support, helping to maintain the alignment of the bell and ensuring proper resonance and sound projection. Additionally, it can help absorb some vibrations, contributing to the overall tonal quality of the trombone.
They would cost about the same generally but sometimes, the bell may cost a bit more. Because bigger the bell, the more sound the comes out. In some cases, the smaller the bell, the more clean the pitch. Depends on what kind of player you are.
If the tubing on a Bb tenor trombone were straightened out, it would meaure 108 inches (or 9 feet) from mouthpiece to bell.
The trombone is known for it's slide.
Both are members of the brass section, and both have a front-facing bell.
Typically the flared end of a brass instrument (trumpet, coronet, trombone, sousaphone) is called the "bell".
If you've every heard a trombone choir or quartet, then you know there are several types of trombone. Originally, and very seldom played anymore except in traditional orchestral groups, the sacbut is a trombone that has no tuning slide, a very small bell, and thin bore. It is quite a finicky instrument to play and has a range comparable to a tenor trombone. As in every other section, there is of course the bass trombone, which is becoming more and more popular. It has been used often in jazz ensembles for its edgy tone and has existed in brass bands and orchestras for years, but has only recently migrated to average level bands. It has a large bell, a wide bore, and often extra attachments that allow it to play even lower (double valve). The tenor trombone can come in a small bore or wider bore model, and its bell is smaller than the bass but bigger than an alto's. It usually has a single trigger valve f attachment. The alto trombone is smaller still, and reads in tenor clef (confusingly enough). The soprano trombone is very rare, and is limited to use in Moravian trombone choirs. It is the very cute size of a trumpet, with a tiny mouthpiece.
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.
