[Trombone-l] Slide Tromboon

[Eric Edwards]

I've also seen one in the shop at UNT in Denton TX.
Basically it sort of  looks like a soprano sax with a moveable interior
section that adjusts the length with a small handle that protrudes from the
side.

Doesn't have a slide as such.

A strange contraption to say the least.

Hopefully someone can post a link to some pics.

Thanks
Eric

I don't think I've ever seen a slide sax and can't imagine how you could put
a slide on a conical instrument.  Would it not be better called a slide
clarinet?  Are there any web links to pictures?
