What is the difference between a bass trombone and a trigger trombone?

∙ 13y ago
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.
