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.
If both of the trombones are in the same key, yes.
A valve trombone has valves.
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.
Trombones come in three keys * Alto Trombone is in the key of E * Tenor Trombone is Bb * Bass Trombone is F They do not have keys that change the notes, the notes are changed by adjusting the length of the slide. *yes, there ARE keys on a trombone. it is for a different kind of trombone called a valve trombone. there are three keys. to change the notes, you would play with either more or less air
There is no other instrument other than the trombone with a slide. There are variations of the trombone though. For example, there is a trombone made with a slide and valves. There are also different types of trombones. There is the bass trombone, tenor trombone, alto trombone, soprano trombone (slide trumpet), and piccolo trombone. (Please note that the soprano trombone, or slide trumpet, does not have valves. It is also called a slide trumpet because it has the same exact range, sounds like a trumpet, and uses a trumpet mouth piece.) There has also been plastic, wooden, and metal trombones made. I hope that this helped!

yes. Valve trombones are better for faster music and improvising. They're used most often in jazz bands.

A slide control. It uses a single slide valve rather than individual smaller valves to change the pitch of the instrument.

The difference with the trombone is that it is the only instrument with a slide. That slide is what makes it unique.
A Trombone. The slide allows the trombone to play lower pitches.
