Hey there, that actually was the one I was looking at, it seemed fishy at first simply because it was up for so long, I figured with as rare as those trumpets are to find, someone would've already jumped on it, he had it listed at $600 for a long time, also, I don't recalls ever seeing an adjustable third slide ring on any modern (I know Olds had a lot of these on their horns) pro horns, though I could be very wrong, but if you called Selmer and asked personaly, then by all means, they know their horns a lot better than I do. As far as beeing a "big" horn goes, it's a .470 bore, that's a lot of tubing to fill up, it doesn't really matter what size you are, as much as how efficient you are with you air, which you'll need to be to play this mammoth of a trumpet, best of luck, I hope you like it!
