History of the Trombone
History of the Trombone
The trombone is a descendant of the trumpet.
It was made by William Bull in 1400. He was trying to improve the
Medieval long trumpet. It was known as the Sackbut in the 1400s.
Sackbut
in Spanish meant “pull tube”. The trombone was the first wind instrument
that could play a scale. The early trombone was not stable and could
fall apart in your hands. With little changes the trombone has kept
its basic shape! Cool, huh? There are four real members of
the trombone family. They are the alto, tenor, bass, and contra bass.
The not true members are the soprano and sopranino. See how to take
care
of your trombone.
