What is the size of the trombone?

Trombones come in many sizes.

However, the common tenor, Bb (B-flat) Trombone is -- if you were to stretch the tubing out in a straight line -- nine feet long. This is what gives the instrument its fundamental pitch of Bb. By comparison, a Bb Trumpet, which is pitched an octave higher than the Trombone, is exactly half the length of its larger cousin: 4½ feet long.

There are trombones larger and smaller than this common Bb instrument. The contrabass trombone is typically pitched an octave below the tenor trombone. Its overall length would be 18 feet (doubled, of course). The soprano trombone (or slide Trumpet) is the same length of the standard Bb trumpet, mentioned above.
