What changes on a regular b flat trombone to a trombone with f attachmenT?

nothing changes, but you have the ability to pull the trigger on that particular type of trombone and by pulling the trigger, a 6th position C can turn into a 2nd position C. It will be the same note, only you are using the F attachment. You don't have to use the attachment, but it does make it easier to play 6th position notes, and im pretty sure it can help you reach lower notes.

Do you use fingers on all brass instruments?

No you don't. The slide trombone is a brass instrument and it can be played without using the fingers. At least, you do not have to use the fingers in order to articulate individual notes. All you need is to be able to move the slide forward and back swiftly and accurately. There are valve trombones; the fingers are needed to play them. No, the bugle does not have any keys. Changes in notes and sounds are all done with the lips and breath.

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.

How is trombone played?

You have to make a buzzing sound in the mouthpiece to make a sound. In order to play high notes, you tighten your lips and in order to play low notes, you relax them. If you are playing a slide trombone, you need to put your slide in certain positions in order to play the notes correctly. If it's just a valve trombone, you have certain fingerings for notes.
