Hi John, It's not that NYC players don't own F-trigger horns or don't know how to use them. It's that they don't bring them to jazz gigs (including bigband) where they might be called on to play a solo. Their main solo horn is almost always a straight tenor trombone. The F-trigger horn is

Hi Craig, The range is realistic -- jazz tenor trombone players almost never have an F attachment. I am sure the players they sampled for the JABB trombones did not have an F attachment on their horn. The full JABB set has a proper bass trombone in addition to the four tenor trombones.
