⚠️ The trap
Don't confuse tromba (trumpet) with trombone (trombone). They are two different instruments. Also, 'tromba' can mean an elephant's trunk in informal Italian.
To say "a large brass instrument with a slide" in Italian:
trombone (same in Italian for trombone)
"tromba" in English means:
trumpet (musical instrument) or trunk (of an elephant)
Example
"Mio figlio suona la tromba nella banda scolastica."
