Yup. Willson had one for demonstrations at the Army conference. Lovely instrument. It doesn't provide a lot of feedback (so you need a strong tone concept and a good understanding of your sound out front), and I hope you never need to adjust the slides while playing, because they can't be reached (the slides are too high to reach from the middle of the horn, and the top bow is WAY too high to reach over it). I have a hard time finding a comfortable place for my left hand when I play one, but then it took me several months before I settled on a comfortable spot for my left hand on the York Master. It doesn't have the resonance of my Holton, but then I've only played three of four instruments in my whole life than did.
