Trombone

Trombone is a musical instrument that is a member of the brass family and, more specifically, low brass. It is operated by the big slide which it uses to change the notes/pitches. 
== Overview ==
The trombone, as previously stated, is a member of low brass and operated by a big slide. As with all members of the brass family, sound is produced by vibration of the lips called buzzing. It has a conical, or straight, bore similar to trumpet which allows it to gain a loud sound. Despite being very loud, because of the low nature of the instrument it is treated more like "background noise" in a orchestra or marching band which means that while higher pitched melody instruments like trumpet get to shine, trombones usually play the lower parts and aren't meant to pierce through the sound of the band, although their unique glissandos and sound mean they occasionally get to shine by themselves in many different pieces. They are common in orchestras, jazz bands, and of course, marching bands.
