You’ve decided on a trombone but what is the difference between a slide trombone and a valve trombone ? Well there are the obvious physical differences, but there are also differences in the sound and style of play. The Tenor Bb slide trombone is the most commonly seen trombone. The slide trombone works  by moving the slide closer and further away from you, which extends the length of the tubing. As with all brass instruments, the longer the tubing the deeper the pitch. The slide aspect of the trombone allows it to create a unique sliding sound if desired. If you wish to expand your trombones range even more an F attachment can be included to change the pitch of your trombone. No other brass instrument can quite capture the trombones unique sound.

As the trumpet is not as commonly played as say a guitar or piano the
prospective trumpet player, such as yourself, is often found wanting of
the information necessary to choose your first instrument. The
first thing you must consider is what pitch of trumpet you choose to
play. There are 8 different pitches but the most common is the Bb. The
Bb trumpet is used in almost every style of music from jazz to rock to
marching and symphonic. This choice will afford you the greatest range
of music to play and for the beginning player is often the best choice.
