Is the trombone a scholarship instrument?
I would not consider the regular "tenor trombone" to be a scholarship instrument. However, instruments such as the alto and bass trombone are more likely choices as "scholarship instruments.". If you play tenor now, bass wouldn't be too difficult to learn. Euphonium is an alternative that is more like a tenor trombone.
Source(s)
7 years of playing tenor trombone,
2 years of doubling on Euphonium, Bass Trombone, & Tuba.
How much is Used value for FN Browning Trombone rifle?
Value is too difficult to be accurate without seeing the gun. Condition which includes the amount of original finish and original configuration will determine value. Recommend taking it to a gun shop for appraisal.

Is the trombone the hardest instrument to play?
It's hard to figure out how to approach this question, but here goes:
Brass instruments change from note to note by combining two different techniques--making the length of the tube longer (making the pitch lower) and by overblowing the tube to make the air vibrate at a higher spot on the harmonic series (making the pitch higher).
The other brass instruments lengthen the tube using valves; when you push a valve down, the air is diverted through an extra piece of tubing. The trombone lengthens the tube by means of the slide. It's the only orchestral or band instrument that does this, and I think it's safe to say that it is harder to learn the exact spot of each position on the trombone slide than it is to learn which buttons to push on the other instruments.
But the other part--overblowing the tube to produce higher notes--is arguably harder on the French horn, because the horn's usual playing range is higher up on the harmonic series than that of the other brass, and the higher you go the closer the different harmonics get together. That makes it harder to pick out the right one, considerably more so than on the trombone or the other brass.
Now which part is harder? I'd have to say that I've heard more beginning students struggle with the French horn than with the trombone. The oboe and bassoon also seem to be harder to learn, or even to get a decent sound from. And the strings have the same challenge as the trombone--they have to develop muscle memory to know exactly where to put their fingers down on the strings for the different notes. I think I've heard more out-of-tune beginning violinists than out-of-tune beginning trombonists, or maybe they were worse out of tune. There's probably something to be said for the relative difficulty of fine motor skills (hitting the right note on a violin string) and gross motor skills (moving a trombone slide to the right position).
All that said, at a more advanced level the trombone presents some issues that the other wind instruments don't. Since the trombone often has to move the slide to change notes, it can be challenging to make a clean transition from one note to another without smearing, especially at a fast tempo. The other instruments just push different buttons.
And above all, though some instruments are harder to learn at the beginning, any instrument is challenging to play really WELL!

The price depends on the model. Simply asking by brand is like asking how much for a Ford car.
Is there a such thing as eighth position on the trombone?
Ahh, the elusive '8th Position'. 8th position DOES exist, it's just incredibly impractical most of the time. To get to 8th you basically balance the outer slide on the very edge of the inner slide and lip it down the rest of the way. really, unless it's a first note or after a bunch of rests then there is little point as a trigger trombone will substitute.

How do you form a embouchure on the trombone?

What trombone mouthpiece is best for use with a king 360 b trombone?
Mouthpieces are better matched to the player, not the horn.
For example, a beginning or young player--typically a student--would use a size 12C mouthpiece. This is the size that comes with most student horns. The mouthpiece has a shallow cup and offers a bit of resistance. This is fine for young students who have yet to develop their lungs and technique.
More experienced players choose mouthpieces with deeper cups and different rims that allow more air to pass through. They have developed the control necessary to play loud or soft and the larger mouthpiece gives them that control. A typical size for a symphony trombonist is a 6½A (or 6½AL).
A bass trombonist might choose a 1½G which provides a large, deep cup and a larger bore for more air to pass through.
A computer tower may make a surging noise rather than a constant humming noise if the case's screws are not properly tightened. Another reason for such a surging noise is the imminent failure of a fan.
