I'm looking for the name for a trumpet set up with the tune slide tube coming back to the valve body down low but on the LEFT HAND side of the horn? With the 3rd slide then positioned on the right hand side... The only horn I know of built this way from the factory is the Olds super star, I'm sure there must be others.... Anyone know what this setup is called and what the theory behind it is? On the Olds brochures it is referred to as flow through or straight through design....Anyone??

Thanks!
