WTB tuning slide assembly

[ken k]

WTB main tuning slide assembly (male and female tubes) for Boosey & Hawkes or Besson Eb tubas 980, 981, 982.

Do not know if the 983 uses the same tuning slide assembly as the 981 or not. If it does i would take one of those too.

My Boosey was cut shorter at the tuning slide rather than the rear branch to bring it up to tune A=440. Even still it is a bit on the flat side. I would like to rebuild the main tuning slide and then perform the "Parker Cut" on the rear branch. So if anyone has a main tuning slide assembly for any of those English compensating Eb tubas, I would like to purchase it.

Or does anyone know where/if you can get parts for those horns anymore?
