The trombone is a brass-wind instrument that is most typically used as the tenor voice in a brass section. It has a cup-shaped mouthpiece, a slide mechanism, and a nine foot tube that is folded to overlap in the center. Most trombones are made out of brass though some are sometimes nickel-plated. With the slide closed, the trombone produces the third B-flat below the middle C as its fundamental note. Some orchestras also use brass trombones which have a lower fundamental note. Trombones are played by sliding the slide to different positions for different notes.
