The trombone produces notes within its range by extending the main slide to different positions. In first position, the length of the bore is at its shortest; seventh position puts the slide at its furthest extension, at the edge of the inner slide's stockings. (These are sections of slightly greater diameter at the ends of the inner slide tubes.)
A scoop is done by very quickly moving from an outside slide position to a close inner slide position (ex. Position 2 to Position 1), while a fall is the exact opposite motion. (inner position to outer position, ex. Position 1 to Position 2). Scoops and falls are common in Dixieland and in Swing Era jazz.
The soprano trombone (sometimes called a slide trumpet or slide cornet, especially in jazz) is the soprano instrument in the trombone family of brass instruments, pitched in B♭ an octave above the tenor trombone. As the bore, bell and mouthpiece are similar to the B♭ trumpet, it tends to be played by trumpet players rather than trombonists.
On trombone, pedal B ♭ 1 is frequently seen in commercial scoring but much less often in symphonic music. Notes below B ♭ are called for only rarely as they "become increasingly difficult to produce and insecure in quality" with A ♭ 1 or G1 being the bottom limit for most trombonists.
Trombone slide position "pedal tones". [18] The B ♭ pedal tone is frequently seen in commercial scoring but much less often in symphonic music, while notes below that are called for only rarely as they "become increasingly difficult to produce and insecure in quality" with A ♭ or G being the bottom limit for most tenor trombonists.

The valide trombone is a hybrid valve trombone invented in the 1940s by jazz musician Brad Gowans. [1] It features both a set of three piston valves and a slide to vary the pitch. [ 2 ] The slide on the valide is positioned within the valve section and is shorter than a regular trombone slide, only covering four slide positions instead of the ...
The contrabass trombone (German: Kontrabassposaune, Italian: trombone contrabbasso) is the lowest-pitched instrument in the trombone family of brass instruments.While modern instruments are pitched in 12 ft (12 ′) F with a single slide, the first practical contrabass trombones appeared in the mid-19th century built in 18 ′ B♭ an octave below the tenor trombone with a double slide.
