If you've every heard a Trombone choir or quartet, then you know there are several types of trombone. Originally, and very seldom played anymore except in traditional orchestral groups, the sacbut is a trombone that has no tuning slide, a very small bell, and thin bore. It is quite a finicky instrument to play and has a range comparable to a tenor trombone. As in every other section, there is of course the bass trombone, which is becoming more and more popular. It has been used often in jazz ensembles for its edgy tone and has existed in brass bands and orchestras for years, but has only recently migrated to average level bands. It has a large bell, a wide bore, and often extra attachments that allow it to play even lower (double valve). The tenor trombone can come in a small bore or wider bore model, and its bell is smaller than the bass but bigger than an alto's. It usually has a single trigger valve f attachment. The alto trombone is smaller still, and reads in tenor clef (confusingly enough). The soprano trombone is very rare, and is limited to use in Moravian trombone choirs. It is the very cute size of a Trumpet, with a tiny mouthpiece.

Which brass instrument other than trombone was once made with a slide?

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!
