That depends on how you define it. The bass Trombone will usually be playing the second lowest part, and just looking at it from a distance, you might think it is the second largest, but actually the French Horn has more tubing, and is therefore longer if it were stretched out straight, than the trombone. Because the French Horn's tubing is curled up much more closely than the trombones, though, it doesn't appear to be as big.
