I noticed the slide had to be about, oh.. an INCH AND A QUARTER to play well in tune. When I playtested originally it was with benefit of a piano to play along with and didn't realize it played THAT sharp.
I eventually sold it and the guy who bought it did some reseqrch and found out it had a C trumpet lead pipe on it.
It was original. Nobody had put it on except at the factory.
I have an old D trumpet from them where the laquer used to fall off in flakes.
So, yeah, I can believe it.
