{{Main|Buccin}}
A distinctive form of tenor trombone was popularized in France in the early 19th century.  Called the [[buccin]], it featured a tenor trombone slide and a bell that ended in a zoomorphic (serpent or dragon) head. It sounds like a cross between a trombone and a [[French horn]], with a very wide dynamic range but a limited and variable range of pitch. [[Hector Berlioz]] wrote for the buccin in his ''[[Messe solennelle (Berlioz)|Messe solennelle]]'' of 1824.

==== Tromboon ====
A [[portmanteau]] of "trombone" and "bassoon", the "tromboon" was created by musical parodist [[Peter Schickele]] by replacing a trombone's [[mouthpiece (brass)|mouthpiece]] with the [[double reed|reed]] and [[bocal]] of a [[bassoon]]. It appears in several humorous works of Schickele's fictional composer, [[P. D. Q. Bach]].
