Thanks Leigh - you've been very helpful.

I shortened the 3rd slide 8% initially, ended up at about 10% to be in tune. 1st & 2nd slides worked out fine with no modification. My victim is an old "Elkhart - Built by Beushcer", and intonation wasn't the best when in Bb, so it makes some sense that the mods weren't uniform.

I'll let some friends play it tomorrow and get their impressions. All in all, a very fun project. Now I'm ready to try it on an Ambassador cornet!

Thanks again,

Garry
