Fwiw, the Greg Black / Jim Nova soprano piece works… surprisingly well. If you go too high, it’s a little flat but it’s vastly better than the other hybrid pieces I’ve tried.

Yes but YMMV & also some Valve Trombones play in tune best w/ a Standard Trumpet Mouthpiece. They don't sound as Stuffy as Valved Trumpets do, they have a more open sound w/ more expressiveness.

Oh really?

Please tell us more about yourself, where you live, your educational / experiential music background, what sort of trombones you play, what groups you play in, ...

And why you persist in posting such drivel.

So you are a 19-year old "musician" (who plays the soprano trumpet and mini valve trombone, and has figured out how to search the Internet for little factoids), and now want to share your vast expertise with the trombone world, just in case we need your help. You were even able to find Steve Norsworthy's soprano trombone YouTube video. (Do you know Steve?)

Could you do us the pleasure of posting a video of your playing (trombone or others of your variety of instruments)?
Thanks!
