![]() The term " Superbone" was first coined in the 1970s as a name for the instrument patented by Larry Ramirez of Holton Musical Instruments in collaboration with jazz trumpeter and bandleader Maynard Ferguson. Conn manufactured them through the early 20th century, and a similar instrument with a shorter four-position slide, the valide, was invented by jazz musician and machinist Brad Gowans in 1946. One of the earliest surviving examples was built by Conn in 1884, and closely resembles the modern superbone that appeared in the 1970s. Trombones that combine both a slide with a set of valves were built as early as the 1860s by Besson. The superbone (sometimes known as the double trombone) is a hybrid tenor trombone in B ♭ that has both a slide like a regular trombone and a set of valves like a valve trombone. ![]()
