Both VO and Soma have a few bars that are albatross like, but
narrower. Actually, so does Riv, the Dove Bar -- classic 3 speed
bars. Cheaper than Albatross too!
Soma has that Lauterwasser bar that's sort of half drop half
moustache. There seem to be a lot of choices to try!
I recently tried
thanks everyonei was reading on the north road bars and how
they're supposed to have a more natural wrist pronation angle than the
albatross, in how they slightly flair outwardsinteresting
trekking bars: why do they make them so darned wide however?
I would love to try a pair if i could

Folks tend to love or hate them, hence a vibrant re-sell market for
them :-) Get a stem 1 or 2 cm shorter if you're going to try them.
I liked them a lot, but missed the extra change of posture a drop bar
gives
I have low-slung Albatross bars on my Kogswell that is my primary
commute bike and like them a lot. Plenty of hand positions. I'm in
the anti-moustache bar group.

I successfully used Bell Laps othe Monocog despite the horrendous
effective tt length -- I think the effective length was 61 cm, fully

M bars it seems are either love or hate. I love'em. rode a 500 mile
tour on them and would do it again tomorrow. To me, if you've never
used them they are worth a try.

i've realize now i've created the same sort of H-bars with Bullmoose bars and
mtn bar-ends slid down towards the middle (and covered in cork - my submission
for the cork postcard).
you can also reverse the direction of the bar ends, move them, etc., so that

Or Soma Clarence. They don't have the forward position of the H bar,
but have the same back sweep. I have a pair on a non-Riv steel bike
and rode 64 miles on them today.
Wrapped the middle part of the bar to get a second hand position.

Salsa Woodchipper, maybe? Very short extension and shallow drop,
which make the effective reach a few cm shorter than something like a
Noodle. The drops are quite flared, but I find them comfortable.
I find Moustaches on a too-long bike to be insufferable. I've mounted
