They would cost about the same generally but sometimes, the bell may cost a bit more. Because bigger the bell, the more sound the comes out. In some cases, the smaller the bell, the more clean the pitch. Depends on what kind of player you are.

How do you put together a trumpet?
How to put a trombone togetherOk, I had trouble putting a trombone together when I started. The trombone has more pieces to put together than almost any other brass instrument. With the trumpet, french horn, and baritone you just put the mouth piece in, but with the trombone it's a bit more difficult. First, you take the slide and put the mouth piece on. Just look for the shorter end of the slide opening and gently put it in. Don't shove it in or you'll have to take it to the shop to get it unstuck.Second, you take the slide with the mouth piece on it and screw the longer end onto the bell opening. Twist the tightener until you can't twist anymore. Don't twist too much or it will get stuck and once again will have to go to the shop to get it fixed.Third, make sure that the bell is on the left side of the slide and start playing!
How many keys does a trombone have?
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
How is a trombone easily recognised?
A trombone is one of the easiest recognized instruments since there are very few other instruments that are similar (i.e. clarinet and oboe). A trombone is generally made up of two pieces joined together where the main hand holds the instrument. The lower piece looks like and skinny but long stretched "U" while the upper piece is a similar shape but flares out into the "bell" of the horn. A trombone is normally made of brass or a like metal and can come in a variety of colors dependent upon the manufacture. An example is that Yamaha makes a tri-colored trombone... very elegant looking. When fully assembled, the trombone is one continuous piece of metal similarly shaped as a widely stretched "S" beginning at the mouth piece and continues to the Bell. The standard trombone, unlike nearly all other instruments, does not have any valves, keys, or strings. The sound and notes are produced by elongating the slide into one of seven positions. Moving the slide in or out will change the note higher or lower based on the needs of the musician. In addition to the standard trombone, there are variations that are available. The valve trombone is similar in shape, but has valves like a trumpet or cornet and has a fixed slide. A triggered trombone has become popular with musicians who have graduated from beginner to a more advanced level of play. These triggered trombones look like a standard "S" trombone, but on the upper portion of the instrument has a value, similar to a French Horn, to divert the air and change the note. This is generally seen as an "F" attachment trombone but can be in other keys. This attachment, in the "F" range is generally used to eliminate the need to position the slide into the seventh position or to quickly change notes without having to move the slide. Finally, there is another trombone commonly called a Super Bone or Super Trombone. This trombone is tricky to play, but produces incredibly unique sounds and the master of the Super Bone is a talented musician. A Super Bone combines the valves of the valve trombone with the slide and trigger of a regular trombone. This trombone like as unique and amazing as it sounds. This trombone can be played slide only, valve only, or a combination of both at the same time.
What is different about the Trombone compared to the other brass instruments?
The trombone has a slide that can be moved to change the pitch of notes rather than valves or keys that lengthen the tubing to change the pitch of notes like other brass instruments. And there are a lot more than 3 other brass instruments.
What types of trombone?
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.
What is the difference between a Soprano Trombone and a slide Trumpet?
The slide trumpet is older and less common, whereas the soprano trombone is more commonly found.
When the trombone invented?
The trombone originated as a tenor trumpet, to which a slide was added in medieval times to give the "sackbut" or "sagbutt". The earliest surviving sackbuts are roughly 15th century. In more modern times, the lather bracing of the sackbut was replaced with metal struts and the bore and bell widened to give the modern trombone.

What are the major parts of a trombone?
The three main parts of the trombone are the bell, the slide, and, of course, the mouthpiece. The bell is where the actual sound comes out. The slide is two pieces stacked over each other. One part slides, changing the note the trombone is playing (think of it like a slide whistle). The third, and final, part is the slide. this is the part that you blow your air into the make the trombone make a sound. You just buzz your lips, and Presto!- you're playing the trombone.
Can trombone lubricant be used for trumpet?
Most professionals do not use slide oil, but instead use a two-part liquid called Slide-o-Mix (costs about $16), followed by a squirt of plain water. It makes your slide move smoother, it lasts longer, doesn't smell bad, and doesn't leave the oily residue. That $16 bottle of magic is $2 worth of cold creme which you could use with a water spray.
Why was the Euphonium invented?
It plays in the same range as the trombone, but by using valves instead of a slide, it can more easily play technically demanding parts.
What is the differnce between a trumpet and a trombone?
There are many differences between a trumpet and a trombone. Here are some: * A trumpet is smaller than a trombone. * A trumpet uses valves to change notes while a trombone uses a slide. * A trumpet player can usually play high notes than a trombone player. That is why the trumpet is a member of the orchestra section called the high brass and the trombone is a member of the section called the low brass. * Trumpets usually get the melody a lot more often than trombones. * Trombones can glisando while trumpets (and any other instrument) can't. To gilsando is to just move your slide without tounging.
How do you finger a trombone?
You finger with positions. First position is not moving it at all. Third is just before the bell. Second is in the middle of those with just about an inch of the inner slide showing. Fourth is just after the bell, about the same as third is before. Sixth is aboutas far as a kid could reach, sevenths further and fifth is between fourth and sixth. Bb valve brass equivalence:1st position=open 2nd=2nd valve 3rd=1st valve 4th=1+2 or just 3rd valve 5th=2+3 6th=1+3 7th=1+2+3...Believe me these are the right translations, the second valve is shortest. slide= the slidable section of a trombone. Bell=the place on most wind instruments where sound comes out position=the location of a slide to make a sound. By the way trombone can get more notes by putting notes between positions, such as the highest G,played a little before the second position.
