See, this is what happens when you get stuck at home but your wife works all day because her company makes medical supplies and is “essential.” I got to thinking about alternate tunings, and before I knew it, I built an Eb extension for my second valve. It puts low Eb in first position with the second trigger only, and low C in 1st with both triggers. Pedal B natural is now in second position with both triggers. I ran through some exercises to try to get the positions cemented into my brain, and I found I really like it.
Bonus! I found if I swap the slides, I can put the first trigger into E.

That particular piece has an odd shank. It does stick way out. It’s an unmarked Chinese made piece I believe. I was just testing it out when I took that picture.

This tuning slide setup definitely wouldn’t be practical for a tight orchestra pit!

Here it is with a standard Bach mouthpiece in it.

It would make a nice paperweight.
