Trombones

Info:A lower member of the brass family, this wind instrument consists of a long cylindrical tube bent upon itself twice, ending in a bell-shaped mouth. The trombone uses a U-shaped slide, rather than valves, to regulate pitch. Ancestor to the Renaissance sackbut, the trombone appeared in military and religious ensembles. In 1809, Ludwig van Beethoven first introduced the trombone into the orchestra. The most common tenor trombone in B flat is often included in jazz ensembles and is capable of soft and voice-like sounds.
