Description:
The trombone retains its essence as a brass instrument, since it is played by blowing through it and is mostly constructed of metal. It is presented as a tube that can be extended by lengthening its rod, which generally measures about 3 meters in total. Sound production is achieved through the vibration of the lips on the mouthpiece. To generate different notes, it is necessary to adjust the length of the rod and modify the air pressure; blowing with greater speed and force produces higher pitched tones. The sound is projected from the trombone bell. Like other brass instruments, trombones can employ an accessory called a mute, which is inserted into the bell to decrease the volume and create distinct sound effects. In an orchestra they are typically placed behind the woodwind section and next to the tuba.
