Quote from: Euphanasia on Jun 11, 2017, 07:43AMWhy not just replace that rear tuning slide with a second handslide? You could get out to at least 6th position, giving you a full-octave gliss!! 
Youd have to reposition the mouthpiece so you have a righ and left hand slide. You'd look like a giant martini glass with an olive.
Or you could have a beam with a pulley so you could operate the second slide behind your back with a rope. Who needs a trombone with valves when you could just have two slides.
