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. Tenor Trombone:

I hope this clears things up.

∙ 13y agoI am aware of three: Tenor trombone, which is the most common one (many are equipped with a F trigger, which gives them baritone capability), and Bass trombone, a wonderful instrument largely undiscovered as of yet by symphonic composers, though it is a mainstay in jazz. There is also a soprano trombone, but it is essentially a curio. A distant 19th century relative is the ophecleide.
