Friends don't let friends play out of tune, right? :lol:

Cheers!

Bloke & Dan,

Will two second valve tuning slide crooks and a couple of ferrules work? With a skilled tech of course.

That should work. In fact... those short 2nd slide crooks will minimize the chance of the slide making the circuit go flat.

I'm having a little difficulty finding ferrules for this project. Basically, tubing with .800+ I.D. Anyone?
