Your left hand plays the three valves and you can change the type of sound you make by the way you place your right hand in the bell. 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. You play the trombone by holding it horizontally, buzzing into the mouthpiece, and using your right hand to change pitch by pushing or pulling the slide to one of seven different positions.
If you stretch the trombone out straight, it is about 9 feet long. There are usually 3 trombones in the orchestra and they play pitches in the same range as the cello and bassoon.
The three trombones often play harmonies together. This is the grandfather of the brass family. The tuba is the largest and lowest brass instrument and anchors the harmony not only of the brass family but the whole orchestra with its deep rich sound.
Like the other brasses, the tuba is a long metal tube, curved into an oblong shape, with a huge bell at the end. Tubas range in size from 9 to 18 feet; the longer they are, the lower they sound. Standard tubas have about 16 feet of tubing. There is generally only one tuba in an orchestra and it usually plays harmony.
You play the tuba sitting down with the instrument on your lap and the bell facing up. You blow and buzz into a very large mouthpiece and use your hand to press down on the valves which changes the sound. Surely, the author is not serious. No French Horn in the top 8?
Orchestra much? This is a terrible article written by an uneducated person who claims to be a musician. Just another kid who picked up a guitar learning TAB and thinks they know something. The whole article, may not be plagiarism, but obviously some amatuer writer to read a couple books and rewrote the information. Please stop trying to be a source for our musical youth — you are damaging our profession.
Trombone the easiest?! Plus the article reads as if it was written by a 10 year old. Did not expect this from Thomann. But seriously why. Its one of the most beautiful brass instruments to play.
