I take it you don't know how to play a trombone.  First of all, for any
one position of the slide, many notes can be played, ranging over a several
octaves.  So the slide does not necessarily "go OUT" for "LOWER" notes.
In the process of playing a simple 8 note scale, the movement of the slide
is reversed several times.  Secondly, I know of left handed people that
prefer to hold their trombones with their right hand.  There is nothing
wrong with this.  The trombone can be assembled either way.
