A Trombone F attachment consists of a rotary valve (similar to what is found on American made French horns) and an additional length of tubing in the bell section of the instrument so that when the valve is activated or rotated, air passes through the additional length of tubing to change the Bb trombone down a perfect fourth to the key of F. The F attachment is used primarily for the player to reach notes in the lower register of the intrument that are impossible in the instrument's natural overtone series and also to play notes in closer positions that are normally only produced in sixth or seventh positions on a normal or straight trombone.

What changes on a regular b flat trombone to a trombone with f attachmenT?
nothing changes, but you have the ability to pull the trigger on that particular type of trombone and by pulling the trigger, a 6th position C can turn into a 2nd position C. It will be the same note, only you are using the F attachment. You don't have to use the attachment, but it does make it easier to play 6th position notes, and im pretty sure it can help you reach lower notes.
What position is the key of g for trombone?
The trombone is pitched in concert C, but this is undoubtedly not the most common key. Usually, any band trombonist will play often in Bb, but as the musician matures any key is possible. Orchestras are fond of sharp keys, especially A or G.
What is the first note you learn to play on the trombone?
A B flat or and F.
What is the difference between a bass trombone and a trigger trombone?
A baritone horn looks somewhat like a miniaturized tuba. A bass trombone is still a trombone, but slightly larger. It also has an F trigger, which opens up more tubing near the bell of the trombone and changes the note. This allows players to reach the range from a low E flat to a low B, which is physically impossible on a tenor trombone. Some bass trombones also include another trigger, G flat, which can be opened separately or in combination with the F trigger.
How do you form a embouchure on the trombone?
Do long notes. Remington's and Lip Slurs. If your new to trombone a Remington is when you play these in whole notes : F, E, F, Eb, F, D, F, Db, F, C, F, Cb or 1, 2, 1, 3, 1, 4 1, 5, 1, 6, 1, 7 dropping a half stef each time.
