What does the trombone have that other brass instruments do not have?
Unlike the rest of the brass family, trombones change notes by moving a slide instead of using valves.

Yes the crackling, popping sound means it is time to release the spit using your water key at the end of the slide.
How is the pitch changed on a trombone?

Can a trombone player play the trumpet?
A trumpet player will probably be able to make a sound on the trombone, but a lack of skill in using the relatively large mouthpiece on a trombone will result in a low quality sound at best. Plus, playing a valved trumpet will usually not make for an easy experience trying to learn a slide trombone.For a bit of fun, ask a trombone player in your band if you can try his instrument out. Try using your trumpet mouthpiece to see what it's like.
What is a trombone's bore?
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.
Why was the Euphonium invented?
It plays in the same range as the trombone, but by using valves instead of a slide, it can more easily play technically demanding parts.
What sound did adults make when speaking in Charlie Brown cartoons?

What do brass instruments have valves reeds or slides?
Brass instruments can have valves or a slide, but not reeds. Brass instruments create sound by the vibrating of the player's embouchure in a mouthpiece, and the valves and slides on the instrument change the length of the tubing in the instrument which affects the pitch of the notes produced. Reeds are used in woodwind instruments to vibrate to produce a sound instead of using a mouthpiece like in brass instruments.
How many positions does a trombone have?
I'm sorry to say, but that is wrong. There are 7 positions on the trombone, starting on 1. You should google slide charts. [Eight.] [Usually there is only seven, but technically a trombone does have 8 positions. I'm pretty sure, seeing as one of my friends has been going to Allstate for 3 years. Though, if I'm wrong, you can hold it against me.] I'm very sure that the trombone only has SEVEN positions. I have played the trombone for six years and also take lessons. The only variation on the seven positions is when you play notes using the trigger, then the positions are somewhat blurred and you could say there are six positions, but this is a stretch. No form of the trombone has more than seven positions. Here are links to a few slide charts.

What is the technical term for blowing a trombone?
