I purchased a old
Wurlitzer Melodie trombone at a flea market. I got it mainly for the
novelty and price. It's not a standard trombone. It's roughly Bb
trumpet length and made in czechoskvakia. There's a rotorary valve with
an internal stop on the back bearing and it marked outside with a Bb
and C position. Nor evidence of a lever maechanism like modern
trombones.
Shouldn't a venturi tube be needed in the inner
slide? There's no trace of one now, but it's old and been "worked on"
before. The inner slide tube seems like it could use a trumpet or maybe
a cornet shank mouthpiece. Might be able to make a venturi out of a
trumpet mouth pipe and cornet size receiver?
Any other ideas?

If a mouthpiece--probably a trumpet mouthpiece--fits the receiver
without any wobble, if probably didn't have a separate one, but it's
built into the receiver. Although it's possible that it may have used
something besides our current mouthpiece shanks.
Could it be a slide trumpet?
