I recently learned that valve trombones exist [0], where there is no slide and the notes are selected via valve-presses like a trumpet.

I have a bunch of them, but I prefer to play marching baritones because I’m less likely to bang them into a music stand.

That's wild. I suppose it's just a long baritone?

No. It has a trombone look but more important, it is not as conical as a baritone so it doesn’t sound as rich.
