The closest thing I could find that would meet MaryAnn’s requirements is this:



Robb Stewart made a Bflat instrument that has three piston and two rotary valves. This looks like most of the weight would be on your shoulder but, again, pistons. (sigh)

I think your two best options would be to either contact somebody like Jc Sherman,

who is great at creatively cobbling things together, or taking a three month Italian vacation. You could prowl around pawn shops and dusty corners of town band rooms and I’m sure you would find something. If you can think of an unusual concept for a brass instrument, odds are that someone in Italy already built it

Maybe a contraption like this ZO baritone.
Still need to be hold but only weights 2 kg.
And less than 1500 dollars.
