Re: Worst bass trombone
From an ergonomics standpoint, any dependant valved bass with the "Dual Thumb" trigger system.

Re: Worst bass trombone
It is interesting that one of the most free blowing bass trombones I have ever owned was a vintage "tangerine" single rotor Reynolds bass trombone. One of the stuffiest bass trombones was a double rotor Reynolds of similar vintage, and I checked valve alignment numerous times. Having the F attachment tubing soldered on the bell throat may have had something to do with the restrictive feel, but it could have also been the rotor port sizes. I later tried another double rotor Reynolds that felt equally stuffy, so it wasn't just mine.
And yes, the side-by-side triggers were not ergonomically friendly. I also did not like the split trigger layout of the Holton 181 at all, either, for different ergonomic reasons.
