Trombone history question
Just a dumb question I couldn't find an answer for --- who started putting valves on slide trombones, and when? I figure it was after the Stolzel valve came along, and probably postdates the first valve trombone, but that's all I have.
Gnagey CC, VMI Neptune 4098 CC, Mirafone 184-5U CC and 56 Bb, Besson 983 EEb and euphonium, King marching baritone, Alexander 163 BBb, Conn 71H/112H bass trombone, Olds Recording tenor trombone.

According to wikipedia,
wikipedia wrote:The F attachment originated in an instrument developed by German instrument maker Christian Friedrich Sattler during the late 1830s and patented in 1839.
