The History of The Trombone

The trombone's form originated from the body style of the bass trumpet. It was produced when a slide was added to the trumpet in order to achieve a lower pitch. This presented the ability to pay in different keys. The instrument evolved into the trombone when the slide accrued the possibility to move while playing. This gave the trombone chromatic scales.
In this day and age the tenor/bass trombone is the most commonly used. It's design is fairly new with its tenor tuning a complete body fashioned with brass. This trombone has a shorter body as well. Each stay is fully reachable to every note. The tenor/bass trombone is equipped with one valve but options are available for more than one valve.
The trombone became a favorable instrument in the twentieth century. It was introduced first in the jazz movement in the New Orleans. Tommy Dorsey or Jack Teagarden are famous twentieth century trombone players. Christian Lindberg is a famously talented trombone player of this century. This player knocked down limitations for playable pieces accompanied by the trombone. He is still playing concerts.

The trombone accompanies many musical pieces/styles. It goes perfectly in brass band, big band, symphonic band and symphonic band. The trombone can even play solo and serenade its audience. It is often paired with the piano or organ in church services.
