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")
To which instrument classification does the Roman tuba belong?
You are correct; the Roman military Trumpet was about four foot in length, and was used as a military signal trumpet. It was usually made from copper or iron and was a conical bore straight tube that came in three pieces with a mouthpiece. Although the Roman tuba (trumpet) was used at sacrifices, processions, triumphal processions and funerals, it was primarily used to announce troop movements during battle. Classifications range from 'wind' to 'brass' to 'aerophone' and it was intended to be played as loudly as possible.
Can you play the trombone with braces?
Yes, you can play the clarinet with braces.
It may take a little time to get used to, and you will need to make some adjustments to your embouchure however, given time you won't even notice the difference.
Quick Tip use some dental wax on the brace from prevent it from digging into the inside of your lower lip while playing. Ask your dentist about wax for the brace.
Yes, you can. My friend uses a special mouth guard though, so if your braces are getting in the way of playing, I suggest that you look into a special mouth guard. You can probably find them at your local music store, if not, then find one on the internet. Good luck, the clarinet is a great instrument!

Who was the first person to play the trombone?
Although the term orchestra, meaning a group of musicians performing together, dates back to Ancient Egypt, the modern orchestra we would recognize today dates back to about the 17th century with the popularity of opera and public concerts. Prior to this, groups of musicians would be found only in the houses of nobilty so that they might provide entertainment to guests.
By comparison, the trombone has been around since the mid 15th century.
So, you might ask, "who introduced the orchestra to the trombone?"
What did the french horn look like?
Similar to the modern version, but with less tubing and no valves.
What do you need to play a baritone?
There are barely any baritone players, so the competition is less intense than other instruments. The baritone is an easy instrument to learn how to play, too. Plus, it's a low brass instrument, which makes it super amazing.
If you play baritone, you are just an overall cooler person. :)
How old is which trombone? Trombones made a hundred years ago are 100 years old. Those made today are called "brand new".
This might help: the trombone was developed around the mid-1400s. At the time, it was the only brass instrument to be able to play chromatically, that is all the notes of a scale!

Do brass instruments have wood mouthpiece?
Instruments with wood mouthpieces, or mouthpieces containing wooden reeds, are called woodwinds, regardless of the material used to make them - and many are made of brass. "Brass" instruments - trumpets, tubas and other horns - have metal mouthpieces without reeds.
What are the lowest and the highest price range for a french horn?
It depends where you get it from. You need to shop around, I recently got on from eBay at 900 pounds
When did Heinrich Stölzel invent the valved horn?
Stölzel invented the valve and applied it to natural horns in 1814.
What instrument is the opposite of the Trombone?
All the other brass instruments because they have valves.
How do valves and slides affect the pitch on brass instruments?
Brass instruments produce sound by the vibrating of the player's embouchure in a mouthpiece, and the valves and slides on the instrument alter the length of the tubing in the instrument which affects the pitch of the notes produced. The farther the air has to travel in the instrument the lower the pitch of the sound is, whereas the less distance the air has to travel the higher the pitch the instrument will produce.
