I've been drooling over a few catalogs of late and noticing the bass trombone adds. Seems like most of them are really large bore "tenors" with various rotor setups to lower the trombone's key. Since I seldom play in a setting where a bass trombone is used I have very little knowledge of them.

I'm wondering what is most common in the good ol' USA. Is it mostly the Bb + rotor type? Are there more "true" bass trombones, ie. in F? Does it matter if you play orchestra, jazz band, etc.?

Educate me, please. Thanks.
