How many positions does a trombone have?

I'm sorry to say, but that is wrong. There are 7 positions on the trombone, starting on 1. You should google slide charts.

[Eight.] [Usually there is only seven, but technically a trombone does have 8 positions. I'm pretty sure, seeing as one of my friends has been going to Allstate for 3 years. Though, if I'm wrong, you can hold it against me.] I'm very sure that the trombone only has SEVEN positions. I have played the trombone for six years and also take lessons. The only variation on the seven positions is when you play notes using the trigger, then the positions are somewhat blurred and you could say there are six positions, but this is a stretch. No form of the trombone has more than seven positions. Here are links to a few slide charts. Tenor Trombone:

What changes on a regular b flat trombone to a trombone with f attachmenT?

nothing changes, but you have the ability to pull the trigger on that particular type of trombone and by pulling the trigger, a 6th position C can turn into a 2nd position C. It will be the same note, only you are using the F attachment. You don't have to use the attachment, but it does make it easier to play 6th position notes, and im pretty sure it can help you reach lower notes.

Why did Gustav Holst learn trombone?

Gustav Holst was taught to play the violin and piano. But, he was a frail child. His father encouraged him to learn to play the trombone, believing it would improve his son's asthma.

Eventually, he gave up the piano due to a nerve condition in his right hand. From that point, he concentrated on the trombone and, of course, composing.

Which brass instrument other than the 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.

Did marlon Brando play slide trombone?

While it is known that Brando was an accomplished musician, there is no concrete evidence that he ever played the slide trombone. However, there are several theories as to why he may have played this instrument.

Some believe that Brando may have played the slide trombone because he was seen holding one in several photographs. It is possible that he was simply holding the instrument for someone else or that he was experimenting with it. There is also a possibility that he was taking lessons on the slide trombone but never progressed beyond a beginner level.

Others believe that Brando may have played the slide trombone because he was interested in jazz music. Jazz is often associated with the slide trombone, and Brando was known to be a fan of jazz music. It is possible that he learned to play the instrument in order to be able to better appreciate jazz music.

Regardless of whether or not Brando actually played the slide trombone, it is clear that he was a very talented musician. He was able to play a variety of instruments, including the piano, banjo, and guitar. He also had a natural gift for acting, which helped him become one of the most successful actors of all time.
