John (and anyone else who's interested):
   Sure, your trombone flares out to its bell, but for the vast 
majority of its length, a trombone tube is cylindrical. 
   For a comparison, look at one of your euphs. (same overall length 
of tubing), and look at how wide the bore has become, say, at the 
bottom of the horn (on the way to the bell). Now measure back a 
similar distance from your  trombone bell, and I suspect the 
trombone's bore is still considerably narrower at that point.
   For another illustration, compare a cornet and a trumpet side by 
side, and see how soon the flare begins on the cornet.
   Of course the differences are minute enough that they can be 
obliterated by different mouthpieces and players' sound concepts. 
I've heard plenty of euphs that sounded like trombones!

Just one drummer's perspective!
