Trombone

The Trombone is a member of the Brass family

The Trombone,  unlike the French Horn and Trumpet is considered 'low brass' and reads  from the bass clef, opposed to the higher treble clef that is read by  the higher instruments.  The trombone is a brass instrument with a  unique feature. Rather than valves or keys that are pushed with the  fingertips, the trombone uses a slide to change pitches.
