What is the difference between a bass trombone and a trigger trombone?
A baritone horn looks somewhat like a miniaturized tuba. A bass trombone is still a trombone, but slightly larger. It also has an F trigger, which opens up more tubing near the bell of the trombone and changes the note. This allows players to reach the range from a low E flat to a low B, which is physically impossible on a tenor trombone. Some bass trombones also include another trigger, G flat, which can be opened separately or in combination with the F trigger.
What is bigger a trombone or a tuba?
Yes, tromba is latin for trumpet and one is latin for big. So trombone means big trumpet
What other instruments can you use a trombone mouthpiece with?
The trombone mouthpiece is exactly the same as an euphonium one. You may also (with difficulty) manage to play a Bass Trombone or Tuba with a tenor trombone mute
Why does b flat trombone not transpose on reading bass clef?
The Trombone does NOT transpose, the player does. With that said, if the music is written in Bb Bass Clef, one does transpose in Bass clef. Most Bass Clef music is in C Bass clef, but the player has learned how to read in concert pitch, so there is no transposition needed.
What instruments should be in a brass quartet?
The most common instrumentation is two trumpets or cornets one horn, one trombone or euphonium /baritone horn, and one tuba or bass trombone

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.

Do trombones have relatives?
Yes! The alto saxophone has a whole family of relatives. Some are the barri saxophone, the tenor saxophone, soprano saxophone, bass saxophone and contra-bass saxophone. The sub-contra-bass saxophone, sopranino saxophone and soprillo saxophone are very uncommon and expensive also, you may never run across one.
