I saw Juan Tizol's trombone once, up close, about 30 years ago. It was then owned by a minister or priest, who played it very well. I regret that I can't remember his name. I don't think the horn actually had a brand name; it was custom-made. It was pitched in C. The 4th valve was horizontal, operated by the thumb. It had a fairly large bore, and a big bell -I think bigger than a Conn 88H.
