After much consideration, and thought, it dawns on me, the solution to the button problem!
Just stick velcro to each button. Then stick the other half of the velcro to the appropriate fingers. That should solve the problem, and save on strain trying to hold the playing hand up to the valves. It would even work better on top action valves. And your muscles will never be strained from small hand vs. wide buttons. It just takes care of itself!
You could even apply velcro to the other hand and the point where you hold the horn. It might make it a little tough to put the horn down at lunchtime, but you can't have everything!
I only charge a modest fee for the use of my ideas, so you cost will be extremely inexpensive. And, if you buy the velcro from me, I'll throw in a year's worth of royalty free use. Isn't that a great deal?
