ironlips Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 In 1979, Tim Salzman and yours truly designed this horn. https://imgur.com/trAYe2Z SCV, 27th, Madison, BD and the San Jose Raiders all had a section of tromboniums. If you scored and played it like a trombone, it sounded like a trombone. If you played it like a baritone, it sounded like a constricted baritone. Hornlines were a lot smaller then and most arrangers simply wanted the darker bari sound, so these fell out of favor except for solos. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It reminded me of the mellophonium I played in junior high school marching band in lieu of our concert horns. It was a strange beast. In high school, horn players played the model of the day (1971 -75) b-flat mellophones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
