Jeopardymaster, you've mentioned that horn here and there- got any pictures?

I have a Flugabone that I obtained dirt cheap, in decent condition with a good hard case. I also have a pair of rotary valves & tubing from a King double-trigger (dependant) duo-gravis bass trombone. I was thinking of grafting them onto the flugabone to make it a five-valve instrument. But it would require someone with much stronger arms than mine to hold it up in playing position for any length of time. Comments?

Stow the valves. Save them for something for which they will be of more use. Enjoy the Flugabone.

+1... and the bore size difference would make it hard to find a good place for them on the ax.

Let me know if you ever sell them

Golly, if only these were treated as sub-ffffff performances with musical nuance, flutes and euphs could be... i don't know... balanced to?

Foolish me... I keep forgetting the point... LOUD FOOTBALL CHEERING BLARGH!!!!!!!

Yes, it's too bad marching bands don't strive for more of that concert band sound, we know it's a big draw from the standing-room-only attendance at nearly any concert band performance.
