trom|bone

trom|bone
trom|bone «TROM bohn, trom BOHN», noun.
a large, brass wind musical instrument with a loud tone, consisting of a long, cylindrical tube bent twice upon itself, and expanding into a bell at one end. The U-shaped bend nearer the cup mouthpiece usually is a sliding piece for varying the length of the tube and thus produce different tones. Some trombones have valves instead of a slide.
[< Italian trombone < tromba trumpet]
