The trombone is an instrument musical aerophone that belongs to the metals family, with a lower sound than the trumpet and higher than the tuba.
It was invented in the fifteenth century and the name comes from the Italian: means big trumpet. It is not a transpositor instrument. The music for trombone is written in the F key for the bass and mid-range and mid-treble keys.
The trombone family initially had soprano, alto, tenor and bass trombones, but some of these instruments fell into disuse.
The trombone has the so-called rod, which is a plunger mechanism that the player moves with one of the arms. The rod has 7 possible positions, one of which corresponds to the closed piston. The distance between 2 consecutive positions is half tone, that is, the note of the first position can be lowered to an fourth interval (which is also the maximum extension of a very typical effect of the trombone, the glissando).
