I've been trying to get my trombone friends interested in a trombone that I cut down from Bb to C. It has the advantage of a tri-tone trigger (Gb) instead of the normally limiting perfect 4th.
Another advantage, it's safer in marching band because it's shorter.
I'm still looking for orchestral advantages.
I think both the C trombone and the C euphonium would have to be considered step-up horns.
