If trombone music is in the key of G flat what would the key be for a B flat instrument?
If you play a standard B flat Trombone and you read in bass clef, G flat is in 5th position. That applies to G flat below the stave, in the stave and above the stave however the one above the stave can also be played in a sharp 3rd position. Which means you bring your slide up a bit more towards you. I don't know about trombones in other keys. Hope that was of some help.
What else can I help you with?
Is a trombone a C instrument?
Most trombones are built in B-flat.
Which intrument used a U-shaped slide to change pitches?
All brass instruments (except the sousaphone) have slides. They are used to adjust the pitch, sharp of flat. The instrument that is played using a slide is the Trombone. It also has a slide on the back that is used to tune, or adjust pitch.
How do you transpose trumpet music to trombone music?
Well, Trumpet is in Bb and Trombone is in C, so transposing is the same as it would be from clarinet to flute (which makes sense to me then). First, the key changes....so if you were in Bb for trumpet, you would be in C for trombone...you take away 2 flats/add 2 sharps if going from trumpet to trombone. Once the key is taken care of, then you can transpose by just taking the trumpet note and putting it down a whole step. Then, you transpose it into bass clef, which is pretty self-explanatory, but you just take that note and put it down an octave or so, into the trombone's range. Actually, part of that answer is incorrect. If the trumpet music is in B-flat, Trombone music (a concert pitch instrument) will be one step below that in A-flat.
What is the most common key for tubas?
There are two considerations: the horn and the music. The fundamental pitch of the modern tenor trombone is B-flat. That is, it is the lowest note one can play with the slide in first position. All the notes in this position are part of the B-flat partial series, like you would hear in a bugle call. So, the trombone itself is pitched in the key of B-flat.* What confuses many is that the trombone plays music in "concert pitch" (the key of C) just like a flute or a piano. Concert pitch means that the written note is identical to the sounding note. For example, a "C" on the trombone is written "C" on the music staff. Compare this to a "transposing instrument" such as the "B-flat trumpet" -- to get the trumpet player to play a concert "C" you would write a B-flat on the music staff. The same is true of the "B-flat clarinet" or "Bb tenor saxophone". When they play a written C, it sounds a B-flat. Likewise, when an Eb alto sax player plays a written C, it sounds an E-flat. *There are trombones pitched in keys other than Bb. The Alto trombone is pitched a fouth higher, in Eb. Bass trombones used to be pitched primarily in F, but other variations exist as well.
What is the frequency for a trombone?
The frequency range for the most commonly played notes on the trombone is 82.41 Hz (E2 or "low E," just below the bass clef staff) to 466.16 Hz (Bb4 or "high B-flat," fourth ledger line above the bass clef staff). Of course, the upper range of any brass instrument is largely decided by the ability of the player. The lowest notes (the pedal notes) on the trombone begin at Bb1 ("pedal B-flat") or 58.27 Hz and extend down to E1 ("pedal E") or 41.20 Hz. (The frequencies shown are correct for tuning at "A=440")

What is the size of the trombone?
Trombones come in many sizes. However, the common tenor, Bb (B-flat) Trombone is -- if you were to stretch the tubing out in a straight line -- nine feet long. This is what gives the instrument its fundamental pitch of Bb. By comparison, a Bb Trumpet, which is pitched an octave higher than the trombone, is exactly half the length of its larger cousin: 4½ feet long. There are trombones larger and smaller than this common Bb instrument. The contrabass trombone is typically pitched an octave below the tenor trombone. Its overall length would be 18 feet (doubled, of course). The soprano trombone (or slide trumpet) is the same length of the standard Bb trumpet, mentioned above.
What is the slide position for a low a sharp on trombone?
A sharp is effectively a B flat, which is first position on a B flat trombone whether it is low or high.
