Yes...and no.

While trombones and trumpets both share the Bb as their fundamental pitch, they READ music differently...

The "Bb Trumpet" is a transposing instrument. A written C comes out as a Bb.

The Trombone is a concert pitch instrument. A written C comes out as a C.

So, trombones are PITCHED in Bb....but they READ in C, just like a Flute or piano.
