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. Using the slide with the first and third valves engaged has the same effect as using an F ...
The Superbone was another hybrid instrument, a trombone with additional valves played with the left hand. [14] Ferguson incorporated Indian instruments and influences in his music. Ferguson was not the first trumpeter to play in the extreme upper register (which had been employed by performers such as Cat Anderson ), but he could play high ...
Holton TR-395 Superbone. A hybrid, "duplex" or "double" trombone is a design of trombone that has both a slide and a set of three valves for altering the pitch. It has been reinvented several times since first appearing in the 19th century by Besson, and later Conn.
The valve trombone emerged concurrently with the invention of valves in the early 19th century. Most early instruments retained the shape and form of the slide trombone, employing three valves with the tubing arranged in place of the slide; others used the new valve mechanism as an opportunity to explore different configurations while retaining the overall cylindrical bore and bell profile.
After touring with the Superbone, Ferguson spoke to Ramirez about making a trumpet with the same valve/slide capability. In order to preserve the length of tubing required to make a B ♭ trumpet, the slide could only be made with four positions instead of the standard seven on a trombone. The bell was bent up approximately 20 degrees so that ...

It might be noted that the Superbone's slide positions appear to be different than a tenor trombone, but that is only due to the valves adding extra distance between the mouthpiece and the beginning of the slide. For example, where the bell ends on a tenor trombone is usually 3rd position, but that is 2nd position on the Superbone.
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.
