What is the bass trombone?
It is just the same as a regular trombone but with a extra tube which allows the instrument to reach the lower notes. The extra tube is added by means of a rotary valve operated by the player's thumb. A typical bass trombone is a B-flat F trombone. Some older bass trombones were tuned in F or G. These had a long slide which needed a handle to enable the player to fully extend the slide. The G bass trombone was great favourite with the brass bands in England and were still in use well into the 20th century.
