The small one with rotary valves?
Yes. Actually two different ones. First a Schmidt-Copenhagen small bore one. And then a Gofffried-Copenhagen one with quite large bore stack and throat. I tried to locate the latter maybe 40 years ago, but sadly in vain. My 4 current altos all are with slides, even if the Conn has a Bb valve.

Those valved ones would be nice to have today. Maybe there is a renaissance for the valved trombones coming?! Just look at the small bore slides that are slowly popping up here and there again.
