I also asked the list what the difference was between a bass trumpet and a
valve trombone and got no answer.  I should imagine, Dan, that there is very
little difference other than the way the tubing is wound.  The two pictures
you posted were Both bass trumpets, yet one was shaped more like a cornet.
I guess the style of wrapping has an effect on how it sounds and I'm certain
that no valve trombone comes close in sound to that of a slide trombone.
