Answer: Trombone

The trombone is played by putting your lips against the mouthpiece and vibrating them. Some people liken it to blowing a raspberry. The air inside the instrument vibrates and you make music! It's not as easy as it sounds though. The note you end up playing is determined by the position of the slide tube, so you need to move this in and out to change the note you play. The trombone is quite an old instrument. They started to evolve from the very basic trumpet in the 1400s. From its birth to the early 1700s, the trombone was dubbed a 'sackbut'. The word 'trombone' comes from the Italian language and means 'large trumpet'.
