I am playing a fairly modern horn with rings on both the first and third slides. I have had this horn for a little over a year and have noticed, as I stop fighting the horn and get into it's natural resonance, that these slides allow the horn to resonate more correctly.
I think the older horns had more give and could be pushed into proper intonation a little easer. I know I didn't notice not having a first slid ring on the Olds Ambassador but now I use it more than the third on the Conn Vintage 1.
