The name trombone literally means “big trumpet,” and that’s essentially what the instrument is. Like the trumpet, the trombone offers bright, full-bodied tones. However, the trombone’s voice is a rich tenor voice, an octave or two below the trumpet. This full-bodied sound blends well with other instruments, which makes the trombone popular among band and orchestras around the world.
The trombone can be a challenging instrument for a beginner due to its unique nature of forming notes. Unlike other brass instruments, the trombone changes notes not by valves, but with a huge slide. The slide is similar to the tuning slide on a trumpet, but at a much larger scale.
Jent’s offers many brands of trombones for all skill levels, including:
