How many postions are there on the trombone?
As the trombone in its simplest form has neither crooks, valves nor keys to lower the pitch by a specific interval, trombonists use seven chromatic slide positions. Each position progressively increases the length of the air column, thus lowering the pitch. Extending the slide from one position to the next lowers the pitch by one semitone.
