Which cost more trombone bell or a trombone slide?

They would cost about the same generally but sometimes, the bell may cost a bit more. Because bigger the bell, the more sound the comes out. In some cases, the smaller the bell, the more clean the pitch. Depends on what kind of player you are.

If the tubing on a Bb tenor trombone were straightened out, it would meaure 108 inches (or 9 feet) from mouthpiece to bell.


What is the bottom of the clarinet called?

Typically the flared end of a brass instrument (trumpet, coronet, trombone, sousaphone) is called the "bell".


What types of trombone?

If you've every heard a trombone choir or quartet, then you know there are several types of trombone. Originally, and very seldom played anymore except in traditional orchestral groups, the sacbut is a trombone that has no tuning slide, a very small bell, and thin bore. It is quite a finicky instrument to play and has a range comparable to a tenor trombone. As in every other section, there is of course the bass trombone, which is becoming more and more popular. It has been used often in jazz ensembles for its edgy tone and has existed in brass bands and orchestras for years, but has only recently migrated to average level bands. It has a large bell, a wide bore, and often extra attachments that allow it to play even lower (double valve). The tenor trombone can come in a small bore or wider bore model, and its bell is smaller than the bass but bigger than an alto's. It usually has a single trigger valve f attachment. The alto trombone is smaller still, and reads in tenor clef (confusingly enough). The soprano trombone is very rare, and is limited to use in Moravian trombone choirs. It is the very cute size of a trumpet, with a tiny mouthpiece.


What is the difference between a bass trombone and a trigger trombone?

A baritone horn looks somewhat like a miniaturized tuba. A bass trombone is still a trombone, but slightly larger. It also has an F trigger, which opens up more tubing near the bell of the trombone and changes the note. This allows players to reach the range from a low E flat to a low B, which is physically impossible on a tenor trombone. Some bass trombones also include another trigger, G flat, which can be opened separately or in combination with the F trigger.

When the trombone invented?

The trombone originated as a tenor trumpet, to which a slide was added in medieval times to give the "sackbut" or "sagbutt". The earliest surviving sackbuts are roughly 15th century. In more modern times, the lather bracing of the sackbut was replaced with metal struts and the bore and bell widened to give the modern trombone.


How is trombone played?

You have to make a buzzing sound in the mouthpiece to make a sound. In order to play high notes, you tighten your lips and in order to play low notes, you relax them. If you are playing a slide trombone, you need to put your slide in certain positions in order to play the notes correctly. If it's just a valve trombone, you have certain fingerings for notes.
