What is a piston trombone?
Piston trombone is a type of drill that uses piston valves to create notes rather than slides. Although the piston trombone is technically only one of a number of different types of rogue valve, conditions are usually used interchangeably, with most links to the trombone refers to the piston trombone. This type of rogue is less common than a thrombon film, especially in the English -speaking world, but still exists all over the world.
In the sliding direction, the player moves with a long metal slip back and forth, extends it and shortens. In this way, the player increases and reduces the size of the air column inside the tool, reduces and increases the sound pitch coming from it. By combining this with a mouth position, the player can create a wide range of different notes.
Like the trombone, the piston thrombone produces various pitch by changing the tube size in the tool. Unlike the slide bunny, piston afterZoun changes the size of the tube not by physical extension or infected, but using valves called perinet valves, to cut the air flow in the parts of the rogue. The player suppresses the key that pushes the piston down into the valve to activate it. The valve arrangement resembles trumpets. The piston thrombons are thus similar to traditional trips, but without a movable slip and a small bank of keys such as the trumpets.
Piston trombone has some advantages and disadvantages compared to its counterpart. Some thrombonists believe that piston valves make it easier to play fast passages because the depression and release of the valve take much less time than the movement of the slide. Therefore, they occur in some orchestral scores that require rapid sequences of short remarks from the rogue. The valves can also be easily played by a march or mounted, which was an important factor for thrombonists in military or civic bands. This type of zone was common in the 19th century, a period of introduction of the piston.
SlidE trombone remains more popular in most orchestras than the trombone of the valve or piston. There are several reasons for this ongoing popularity. Characteristic smooth cross -country crossings with sliding sliding are much harder with the trombone of the valve, which means that many pieces for the trombone lose this effect when playing on the valve thrombon. Many thrombonists prefer the tone of the trombone image, which is said to be more open than the tone of the piston gem.
