A trombone is a brass wind instrument of
mainly cylindrical bore, incorporating a
movable slide which allows a continuous
glissando (slide) in pitch over a span of
half an octave. A descendant of the
Renaissance sackbut, the Baroque trombone has
a shallow cup mouthpiece and modestly flared
bell giving a firm, noble tone, to which the
modern wide bell adds a brassy sheen.
