Before the early 19th century, most trombone players adjusted their tuning using a crook placed at the joint between the bell and the slide or seldom between the mouthpiece and the slide.", [4] rather than the modern tuning slide on the bell curve, [5] whose cylindrical sections prevent the instrument from flaring smoothly through this section.
In instruments such as the trombone and slide whistle, moving the slide is the way to select the note while playing. Attempts to adapt other wind instruments to use slides instead of tone holes, keys or valves have been tried; for example a slide saxophone was invented in the 1920s by Chicago instrument maker Reiffel & Husted.

The Superbone can be played as a slide trombone, a valve trombone, or in combination. Using the slide and valves in combination requires the slide positions to be adjusted, just as when using the trigger of an F attachment on a tenor or bass trombone.

Ed Byrne was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States, in 1946. [2]Since the 1970s, Byrne played trombone as a sideman alongside many of the New York jazz scene's most well-known jazz artists (e.g., Chet Baker, Joe Henderson, Herbie Hancock, Charlie Mingus, Eddie Palmieri, Willie Colon, Manu Dibango, and many others).
Although rare on the E ♭ alto trombone, a valve attachment usually lowers the instrument a perfect fourth into B ♭, providing the first five or six positions from the tenor trombone slide. Some alto models have what is called a trill valve , providing a small loop of tubing that lowers the instrument by only a minor or major second, into D ...
