Interestingly enough, they claim to have patented their design for their "rotary face valve." It looks to me an awful lot like a Shaw disc valve from a Fiske cornet. The example shows a Kohler in Josh Landress' collection, with the Shaw disc valves.

My turn to rain on a parade. BurgerBob can take a break from defending LeFreque et al.
You might consider a section of valve trombones if you want a historically informed performance of Antonin Dvorak, Josef Suk, Giacomo Rossini, Giuseppe Verdi, some 19th century Viennese, or Central-South American composers.

Does the rubber tip at the end of the playing slide count as a gadget?

I was just reminded of this useless product from my beginner days in 1972.

Re: Most Useless Gadget?
I also (for some reason) bought a jar of "Spitballs" about 10 years ago just as I was returning to trombone after a multi-decade layoff. Thought they must be the latest thing. Never even opened the jar. Anyone interested in taking these off my hands (for the price of postage)?officermayo wrote: ↑Thu Apr 18, 2024 8:20 pm I was just reminded of this useless product from my beginner days in 1972.

I have also got a jar of these spitballs. Not sure if they do anything. But it's fun to shoot them through the instrument. Always a bit worried that they get stuck however...
