Quote from: davdud101 on Aug 15, 2017, 10:44AMIf I may offer a free alternative with a REALLY small learning curve that makes modeling stuff like this MUCH faster - like this sort-of trombone-themed image I made several years ago;

Give the software Anim8or a shot.
It may not be CAD-accurate design, and it IS geared towards modelling (even while sporting a moniker like Anim8or), but I like to think it holds its own in the free software world.
I made an account, I'll have to try it sometime.
Here's that image, for those who want to see without making an account:

Whoops sorry, didn't realize that. I was already logged in, I guess.
Thanks for tossing it up there, Tbonedude.

If you want a continuously pitch-adjustable instrument with a serious conical bore, you'll need to move to some mechanism besides a slide.
Even a modification like the Couturier slide is so close to a cylinder in practice that it might just as well be a cylinder and apparently sounds like one.

I would hesitate to use anything purely conical to funnel a single malt into my mouth. I like a glencairn glass to enjoy my Islay malts.
As for conical trombones... I have thought many many times about blending nicely with a flugelhorn player's sound. Once in a very fun little big band I played euphonium when the trumpets were on flugel and it sounded nice. Now in duets I'm dabbling with using a bass trombone and trying to get into the flugel sound. Or around it. I'm not sure yet. My small dual bore tenor is also good.
