trombone(tromˈbəun) nountrombone→ 长号zhCNtrombonetrombone[Ital.,=large trumpet], brass wind musical instrument of cylindrical bore, twice bent on itself, having a sliding section that lengthens or shortens it and thus regulates the pitch. The descendant of the sackbutsackbut, Renaissance name for the slide trombone, probably derived from the old French word sacqueboute, which means "pull-push." The instrument achieved its present form in the 15th cent., the only differences being a narrower bore and a smaller bell. .....

In the 18th cent. it entered the opera orchestra, and Beethoven introduced it into symphonic music. In the enlarged orchestra of the 19th cent., the trombone became increasingly important, being valued for its wide range in pitch and dynamics. It is more often used as an ensemble than as a solo instrument in the orchestra, and it has little solo literature. Three trombones are standard in the orchestra, formerly alto, tenor, and bass. The tenor is most often used today, often with extra tubing that can be cut in by a valve to give it the lower notes of the old bass trombone. The trombone is also widely used in jazz and dance bands. A valved trombone, first produced in Vienna in the 1820s, is frequently used in Latin countries, and by some jazz musicians, but is inferior in tone quality to the slide trombone. BibliographySee R. Gregory, The Trombone (1973). Trombonea brass instrument. Depictions of and references to the trombone date from the 15th century. The instrument is a long, composite, cylindrical tube that curves twice and terminates in a wide bell; a cup-shaped mouthpiece is placed at the other end of the tube. The bore is about 3,000 mm in length and about 15 mm in diameter. There are slide and valve trombones; the latter appeared in the early 19th century. The six varieties of trombone range from soprano to bass. The trombone is primarily an orchestral instrument. trombone[träm′bōn]tromboneSee TBONE trombone
