I have two that I love:

One is a Mt Vernon Bach, made about 1958, piston valves

The other is a hybrid that was a joint effort. The bell is off a 1940's Conn
trombone, the tubing was made by Frank Doting of Grass Valley, CA, the 4
rotary valves were made by Alexander of Mainz, Germany. The whole shooting
match was assembled by John Sandhagen of the Boneyard.

Just used them in 'Rite of Spring' this weekend.

Love 'em both
