==== Superbone ==== {{Main|Superbone}} [[File:MIMEd 3596. Holton TR-395 Superbone (white).png|thumb|left|Holton TR-395 Superbone]] A hybrid, "duplex" or "double" trombone is a design of trombone that has both a slide and a set of three valves for altering the pitch. It has been reinvented several times since first appearing in the 19th century by [[Gustave Auguste Besson|Besson]], and later [[Charles G. Conn|Conn]]. Jazz trombonist and machinist [[Brad Gowans]] invented his "[[valide trombone]]" in the 1940s with a short four-position slide. In the 1970s [[Maynard Ferguson]] and [[Holton (Leblanc)|Holton]] produced the "Superbone", very similar to the earlier Conn. In 2013 Schagerl in collaboration with [[James Morrison (jazz musician)|James Morrison]] announced a larger bore variant with rotary valves.
