Only valve trombones commercially available are SMALL tenor trombones. Tommy Johnson had one that I think Bert Herrick (maybe George Strucel) made for him when i was studying with him Ross DeRoche got one stolen out of his car when I was in LA. never really saw another one. One can be made from a Yamaha ehph valve section (.571 bore). If anyone wants to go through that expense. Tony Clements
