Below follows a few questions, together with answers.
Some answers can be a little to "technical". You can skip the parts
between ( ), if you will.

Q: What are the positions for the F-valve in relation to the straight
Bb Trombone?
A: See the picture below.
The long lines is the length of the slide.
The other lines is the positions on the slide.
The on highest shows the positions for a trombone in Bb (with no valve).
The lower one shows the positions for a trombone in F, or a Bb trombone using the valve.
(A Bb-trombone tuned in F.)
When using the valve there is no 7th position.
(With o lower trombone (tuned in F) the positions is farther away from each
other. There's only enough length for six positions using the valve. First position on the valve is the same as the 6th on the Bb trombone.)
To be able to play low B (below the staff) two valves are needed.
