The trombonium is a brass instrument formerly manufactured by H.N. White Company and Conn-Selmer. [1] [2] It was unveiled by H.N. White in 1938 and was manufactured until the mid 1970s. [1] The trombonium has the same timbre as a regular trombone except in a smaller, more compact form. [1] It was originally designed to be used as a marching trombone, and has valves rather than a slide thus superficially resembles a tenor horn or euphonium. [1] It was used by the University of Southern California Marching Band [1] and on a handful of jazz recordings (e.g., Jay and Kai + 6 ).
