Indeed, a trumpet has one slide for tuning only and two more slides that are used while playing, so it's not even technically correct.

- Polizeiposaune 4mo agoYep. A basic trumpet has more slides than a basic trombone.
- bluGill 4mo agoYour trumpet maybe, but my trumpet from 1957 only has tuning slides, which cannot be used while playing.
- jeffbee 4mo agoInteresting. A student horn I guess? I've never owned one that didn't have at least a third valve slide ring. I think they were widespread around the time that the trumpet really took over from the cornet, around 1900-1920. My pre-War Olds has moving slides.
- bluGill 4mo agoI know a few cases where slides were added later. I don't know when they became common but impression is layer.
