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.

The bore is the inside width of the tubing of a trombone. The bore maintains a consistent width from the leadpipe, through the slide, and to the point that the bell section begins to flare. The wider the bore, the deeper the sound. A striaght tenor trombone can have bore size anywhere from .468" to .509" A closed wrap trigger trombone typically has a bore size of .525" and an open wrap trigger trombone usually has a bore size of .547".
