今メインに使ってるのはバック42BGBノーマルラップです
この楽器の基本設計はコーンの8H・88Hだと思われます。
現在世界で主流となっている太管のトロンボーン（アメリカンタイプと言われます）のお手本となった楽器設計は1800年代の後半にコーンが完成させたと思われます。
有名メーカーもみんな、この楽器のコピーから始まっています。
コーンのページに次のような記載があります。
The story of the Conn 88H trombone ultimately begins in 1875 with the vision and determination of one man: Colonel C.G. Conn. Founding a band instrument manufacturing company in the small town of Elkhart, Indiana, Conn quickly became known for his innovative brass designs and became the largest producer of trombones in the United States and earned the lasting reputation as "America's trombone house." Carrying on this tradition, the 88H is recognized for its unique tone color and refusal to "break up" even at the most extreme dynamics making it one of the most widely used professional symphonic trombones in the world.
当時のカタログには「small base trombone」という表記があります。
アメリカのトロンボーンの父と言われる、イーストマン音楽院の「エモリー・レミントン」の指導のもと、あまりにも有名な「イーストマン・トロンボーン・クワイヤー」で主流の楽器として使用されたようです。

日本に入ってきたのは戦後、NBC交響楽団を前身とする「シンフォニー・オブ・ジ・エアー」というアメリカのオーケストラが来日して、コーンを使用していたのを見て、N響が購入したというのを関根先生から聞いたことがあります。それまでは全員ドイツ管を吹いていたそうです。同盟国ですからね(^-^)

Davis Shuman:
This dissertation documents the life and work of the pioneering trombone soloist, Davis Shuman (1912-1966). An early champion of the solo trombone, he was active in numerous areas of music, including teaching at Juilliard and the Music Academy of the West, principal trombone with the American Symphony Orchestra, regular recitals at new York's Town hall, and premieres of works by dozen of composers, all of which contributed to his reputation and influence on twentieth century trombone literature.While the history of the trombone stretches back more than 500 years, its role as a solo instrument has only recently bloomed. With few exceptions, it was not until the mid-twentieth century that trombonists were able to establish a career as a soloist. When Davis Shuman gave a solo trombone recital in 1947 at Town Hall in New York City, the repertoire available to perform was limited. In the next twenty years of his career, he would commission and premiere works by Ernest Bloch, Vincent Persichetti, Darius Milhaud, Tibor Serly, and Henry Cowell, to name but a few. He is credited with giving the first solo trombone recital (1947) and making first recordings of many important works in the repertoire. He edited and published editions of trombone works by Nicolai Rimsky-Korsakov, Vladislav Blazhevich, and Domenico Gabrieli. A degree in engineering from Northeastern University (1935) enabled him to create a number of inventions related to the trombone, including an ergonomically-correct "angular" trombone. Suffering from a declining ability to use his right arm, Shuman was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor that ended his life at the age of 54.Shuman was a pioneer in developing the literature for trombone through his activities in recordings and as a soloist. To date, no comprehensive examination of his life and work has been compiled. As a result of this dissertation, more deserved attention will be given to Davis Shuman and his impact on trombone literature.
