TROMBONE

The trombone is a musical instrument in the brass family. It is pitched lower than the trumpet, and higher than the tuba. A person who plays the trombone is called a trombonist. The word trombone derives from Italian tromba - meaning trumpet - and one - a suffix for "large." Thus, quite literally, a trombone is a "big trumpet." In symphonic literature, the trombone is referred to by its name in other languages, e.g. posaune, sackbut or sacbut, basun, tromba spezzata. Trombones are commonly found in symphony orchestras and military and other brass ensembles. They are also common in jazz, salsa, and ska.

The trombone consists of a cylindrical tube bent into an elongated "S" shape (it is interesting to note that in French, trombone also means "paper clip"). Most trombones are slide trombones;. The section immediately following the mouthpiece is a short straight length of tube called the lead pipe. Below that is the slide, which allows the player to extend the length of the instrument, lowering the pitch. Some trombones have valves instead. www.wikpedia.org
