New Grove dict. mus. insts. (under Trombone: The practice of using B♭ and B♭/F trombones has almost done away with what survived in the 20th cent. of the ancient use of three different sizes of slide trombone: alto, tenor, and bass. The B♭ trombone, however, is still often called a "tenor trombone." Valve trombones, made in alto, tenor, and bass pitches, reached a peak of popularity soon after the mid-19th cent.)
