Of course. The Trombone known earlier as the Sackbut (in various different spellings) has been around since the mid 1400's A.D. The "baritone" short for Baritone Horn, is in the "SAXHORN family" invented by Adolfe Sax. Some other members of the saxhorn family include the Alto Horn, Tenor Horn, Bass Horn. The instrument that you refer to as a "baritone" has valves. Valves weren't installed on brass instruments until the last 175 years or so. Trombones with slides have been with us for almost 600 years.
