It was B&H attempt to make a convertible but it never really caught on

[quote="walldaja"]Unusual concept. Anyone ever play one?[/quote]
Yes, and as I said didn’t really work on the F side

Dates from 1970's Had a couple of straights with one F attachment between us at a brass band in Birmingham UK . Preferred my HN White 3b.

I just saw one of these on eBay. There were a couple of players at Juilliard when I was there who played that horn, and one Conn 8H player who used that tuning slide w/the F attachment on his Conn when he needed a valve. Not the best playing valves with all of those tight turns, but very easy to make a quick change. Back then (late 70's, early 80's) a lot of players used a straight .547 for most of their work, and used an F attachment only when absolutely necessary. This set-up was more convenient than having another bell with a valve.
I remember trying a couple of those horns that i thought were pretty good - better without the valve, though. They may not have been consistent, however.
