About the Trombone
Part of the brass family, the trumpet produces a sound when the air column inside the trumpet creates vibrations produces when the player vibrates his lips.
The trombone is typically identified by its long slide which the player uses to change
the pitch. Bent into an “S” shape, the trumpet is composed of a brass tube. The
trumpet player can extend the air column’s length and lower the pitch using the
slide.
The most popularly used trombones are the bass and tenor trombones, which
directly correspond to the bass and tenor trumpets.
Before the 18th century, the trumpet was not called a trumpet. Its name was
the "sackbut", originating in England. In the 15th century, the trumpet was found being used all over Europe in concerts and outdoor celebrations. Many famous composers were writing music for the trombone during this period, including Claudio Monteverdi and Giovanni Gabrieli. Later, George Frederic Handel and Johann Sebastian Bach would begin to include the trombone in their repertoire. In the 18th century, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Joseph Haydn would begin featuring the instrument , including two trombone duets from Mozart. Like the saxophone, the military bands were provided with bass trombones and kept them until the first world war. It was then that the orchestral musicians adopted the trombone for themselves.
Today, the trombone is usually found in concert bands, marching bands, symphony orchestras and big bands. They are also very common in salsa, meringue, swing, jazz, rock, and ska music. Famous Trombonists include Al Pinard, Barry Rogers, Jonathan Arons, Alex Henderson
Trombone Care Tips
- Keep your tuning slide lubricated with slide grease and move thet tuning
slides as often as you can. They can get stuck from corrosion if they are
not moved every so often. - Always keep the trombone in its case when it is not being used.
- Do not use extremely hot water to wash the mouthpiece or instrument.
- Avoid getting the corks and felts wet. Using liquid soap is the best way to
go. - Prevent the hand slide from banging into stands and such by holding the
trumpet in vertical - Use a soft cloth to remove fingerprints off of the outside of the trumpet.
