Trombone instrument history and origin

The trombone, originating in the 15th century, evolved from the mediaeval sackbut. Its name, derived from the Italian "tromba" (trumpet), means "large trumpet." Initially used in religious and ceremonial music, the trombone's versatility led to its inclusion in orchestras, bands, and jazz ensembles.
