∙ 13y agoThe Trombone changes it's pitch fundamentally in the same fashion as any other brass instrument: by changing the length of the sound column. Trumpet players, for example port air through different lengths of tubing by depressing any combination of three valves. A trombone changes the length of it's slide, thereby creating different pitches.

How does sound change when using a slide on a trombone?
When you extend the slide it changes the pich which changes the note
What is the different slide trombone valve trombone?
A lot. Although they look similar they are played differently. The main difference is the mechanism used to create the notes/pitches. The valve trombone is basically a baritone horn in the shape of a trombone. It uses a combination of 3 valves like a trumpet to generate the different pitches by the vibration of the player's lips in the mouth piece and the combination of valves pressed down. A slide trombone uses a slide to change the wave length of the ptich combined with the vibration of the player's lips in the mouthpiece. Notes or pitches rely upon sound waves. To change pitch you change the length of the sound wave. The valve trombone uses valves to chnages the course of the air producing the sound wave to lengthen it or shorten it. The slide trombone does this by moving the slide up or down.
What is the purpose of the slide on a trombone?
Both the slide on a Trombone and the valves on a Trumpet are to play all of the different notes. (ie: press the 2 and 3rd valve on a trumpet to play G#). music is sound, sound is compsed of "waves" or the peaks and valleys thesound travels, looks like a wave. The longer the distance between the peak and valley, the lower the note/pitch. the shorter the distance the higher the pitch. This is best seen if you pluck a guitar string. You can see the string vibrate to the sound wave. Shorten the lengthen of the string and you produce a high pitch. The slide and vavles do this in the trumpet and trombone. Pressing the valves re-channels or directs the sound wave produce by the player's lips through shorter or longer tubing/distance. The trombone this is done by moving the slide up or down.
Which produces the highest sound in pitch a trumpet or trombone?
trumpet
What does a trombone do to change pitches?
He or she plays the Trombone, a musical instrument of the Brass family. Trombonists can play in an orchestra and/or band, and can also be used as a solo instrument. The trombonist reads music or plays songs by ear on the slide or valve trombone.

How does the musical sound change on a trombone?
It changes by th embochure of your lips and the position that your slide is in. :)

Does the valve trombone have the same sound as the slide trombone?
yes. Valve trombones are better for faster music and improvising. They're used most often in jazz bands.
How does a trumpet play different notes?
A very short explanation is, you vibrate your lips while blow air through the mouthpiece. Pushing valves changes the length of tubing that has air going through it, causing different notes to sound.
Which cost more trombone bell or a trombone slide?
They would cost about the same generally but sometimes, the bell may cost a bit more. Because bigger the bell, the more sound the comes out. In some cases, the smaller the bell, the more clean the pitch. Depends on what kind of player you are.
How does trombone produce it sound?
The trombone produces it sound by players buzzing their lips
Is violin better than trombone?
The violin does not sound at all as the trombone because firstly it is a wood and the trombone a brass instrument and second, the violin is out of treble clef and the trombone out of bass clef (however, trombonists also read treble clef in brass bands and alto and tenor clefs in orchestras) The sound of the trombone is much more similar to the cello - deep and sonorous, slightly similar to a male singing voice.
What happens to the sound of a trombone when the tubing gets longer?
It lowers the pitch of the sound produced. For more information please see the wikipedia article about trombones.
