Alto
Trombones
Mostly used in earlier symphonic works and chamber
music, this small instrument is experiencing quite a
renaissance.
Small Bore Tenor
Trombones
These are the work horse for many commercial
players and are used for jazz combos, big bands, swing and Latin
bands, pit orchestras, and recordings.
Medium Bore Tenor
Trombones
These all around instruments are popular in the
studios and pit orchestras, as well as for buyers who need one horn
that sounds good in many styles of music. It can also be used with success
in symphonic music, as the tone is very mouthpiece dependent. Think of
this instrument as the chameleon.
Large Bore Symphonic
Tenor Trombones
This is the standard trombone used in orchestras,
bands, brass choirs, and chamber music. Many players stepping up to a
professional model trombone will look at these first.
Bass
Trombones
The most common lower voice in the trombone family
has many options to keep the equipment fiends happy, and is found in
almost every symphony and big band.
Contrabass
Trombones
These giants have mostly been replaced by the
tuba, but they have a place in orchestras, brass choirs and
recordings. What's that low rumbling sound I hear?
