How Instrument Works - Instrument Parts
The main part of the Trombone that changes your notes is the Slide and if you’re not careful or lock the slide, the slide can come off like this! You create the sound with this mouthpiece and the sound then comes out of this section – called the Bell.
Hopefully you enjoyed the sound of the Trombone and that this video will give you an idea about how the instrument works.
