@@ineedaname8250 based on my experience in playing them. Trombone and violin both require a lot of moving limbs to play, particularly when changing notes, and they both have to be held up by the player. Other string instruments have bigger spaces between notes and aren't as particularly precise in intonation. Other brass instruments have valves as their primary method of changing pitch. Both violin and trombone are open-ended feeling to the player and require a lot of muscle memory and specific spacial recognition parts of the brain, something like that.
