slide trombone

In trombone. It has an extendable slide that can increase the length of the instrument's tubing. The slide thus performs the function of the valves on other brass instruments. From the 19th century, some trombones have been made with valves, but their use was never universal. In wind instrument: Trumpet-type aerophones.

ˈträm-ˌbōn. : a brass instrument consisting of a long cylindrical metal tube with two turns and having a movable slide or valves for varying the tone and a usual range one octave lower than that of the trumpet.

Brassy, brilliant, powerful, overpowering, solid, tense, penetrating, dramatic, hard, full, sinister, soft, round. The sound of the trombone remains homogeneous throughout its entire range. There are no big differences between the registers such as those found in the clarinet or the bassoon.

Silver-colored brass (a copper and zinc alloy) is used to create the outer slide of a trombone, while a metal that combines brass and nickel called "nickel silver" is used to create the inner slide.

It instructs the performer to begin two or three scale steps below the marked note and "slide" upward - that is, move stepwise diatonically between the initial and final notes.

The tuning slide is found on the heel of the trombone and can be moved in and out with a small amount of pressure, allowing the player to make micro adjustments to the tuning as needed on the fly. This slide should be lubricated occasionally with a small amount of slide grease.

noun. a musical wind instrument consisting of a cylindrical metal tube expanding into a bell and bent twice in a U shape, usually equipped with a slide (slide trombone) Derived forms.

So, the difference in sound between a valve trombone and a slide trombone is not in the basic sound (bright vs dark, mellow vs edgy)... the difference is in the sound the horn makes in between the notes. Pushing down a valve involves a very short break in the airflow; moving a slide does not.

The standard trombone is the tenor trombone. It is used in a wide variety of musical genres, including classical, wind-instrument music, jazz, and pop music. * Trombones are generally played by extending and shortening the slide, which changes the length of the tubing and thus the pitch of the sound.

Timbre refers to a sound's unique sonic properties or characteristics. We might use words like bright, grainy, mellow, dark, rich, or brash to describe the sound of a particular instrument or voice. In each case, we are describing the timbre of the sound.

Off. Now let's talk about what to put on your slide. There are a bunch of options to choose from like slide oils creams. And sprays for my students I recommend trumbo teen slide cream.

The trombone is the only instrument in the brass family that uses a slide instead of valves to change pitch. A standard trombone is made of long thin brass pipes. Two U-shaped pipes are linked at opposite ends to form an "S." One pipe slides into the other so the total length of the pipe can be extended or shortened.
