DIFFERENT PARTS
OF A TROMBONE
WHAT IS A TROMBONE?
These three components are regularly disassembled/assembled and are kept apart in the instrument’s case.
The slide is joined to the bell section by a threaded nut or
collar and you have to make sure the threads line up so this
connection is tight and the angle between the slide and bell
section cannot change.
We’ll start by looking at the Mouthpiece which is essentially a funnel and is the part
of the instrument that you blow into.
Mouthpieces come in various sizes, and trombonists often have a few different ones
that they use in different musical contexts.
