A trombone has no valve- only a slide. A valve trombone, or a marching trombone, though, have three valves.
Marching Trombone> It looks like a large trumpet. It allows for easier marching , not having to use the slide.
Yes. There is an instrument called a "valve trombone", which basically looks like a trombone except that the slide doesn't move and there are three valves near the mouthpiece that look a lot like trumpet valves. In fact, trumpet players are often asked to play valve trombone in middle and high school jazz bands when no regular trombone players are around to fill the seat. This is possible because the fingerings on a valve trombone are exactly the same as those on a trumpet. Some trombone players, me included, find the valve trombone to have a somewhat flatter (tone, not pitch) sound than a traditional trombone. However, a good enough musician can easily achieve a beautiful sound on a valve trombone. Additionally, there is a horn called a marching trombone that also three valves. It is similar to a baritone, but the tubing length and bore sizes are closer to those of a trombone.
Typically, trombone players play trombone. Sometimes, trumpet players will attempt to play the trombone. They often must rely on valve trombones since the valve system is the same between the two instruments.

The trombone is known for it's slide.
Trombones usually have zero valves. There's such a thing as a valve trombone, but that uses the standard three valve configuration, similar to a trumpet.

yes. Valve trombones are better for faster music and improvising. They're used most often in jazz bands.
A trombone
The trombone is the only instrument in the brass section with no keys or valves. It only has a slide.
Trumpet, Cornet, Bugle, Trombone, Bass Trombone, French Horn, Baritone Horn, Valve Trombone, Marching Valve Trombone (Olds) Euphonium Tuba, Sousaphone, Sackbutt (seriously -it's real) Marching bugles of all shapes and sizes, piccolo trumpet... That's about the extent of it in 2010
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.
