I recently learned that valve trombones exist [0], where there is no slide and the notes are selected via valve-presses like a trumpet. [0] https://usa.yamaha.

  Similarly, so do slide trumpets!

  That's wild. I suppose it's just a long baritone?
  • tomcam 4mo ago
    No. It has a trombone look but more important, it is not as conical as a baritone so it doesn’t sound as rich.

  I have a bunch of them, but I prefer to play marching baritones because I’m less likely to bang them into a music stand.
