There are a lot more per position than you have listed here. You must include C (above Bb), even high Eb. Every Bb is playable in 1st position, every F 4th line (BC) & up, etc

__________________________________________________

1st position: Your slide is not out at all. Notes: B flat, F, B flat, D, F 2nd position: 2-3 inches out. Notes: A, E, A, D flat E

3rd position: About about a centimeter closer to you than the bell: Notes: A flat, E flat, A flat, C, E flat

4th position: About a centimeter FARTHER than the bell. G, D, G, B, D (I think!)

5th position: About 2 inches farther than 4th. G flat, D flat, G flat, D flat (I think)

6th position: A little tiny bit (one inch or so) farther than 5th: F, C, F, C

7th position: Unfortunatly I never use this position so this may not be very accurate but using the info above. It's about 1 inch farther than 6th. Notes: B, E flat, B

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.
