Thanks to all for the quick and informative responses. I just never thought about this issue before. I will do a little 3rd slide measuring on my wall hanger cornets.

Vugano Bro, thanks for also addressed the Conn Wonder with the moving main slide. I would gather, as this is used to tweek in the 3rd valve notes better, that the player had to learn where to return the slide back to "in tune" WHICH WOULD NOT be all the way in. I figure it still had to be out some to be in tune with the group, just as other trumpers/cornets. There is not another main adjustment for pitch. I would like know, as I want to have two new lead pipes made for the current a=440 (one for the original Conn mouthpiece shank taper (mouthpieces in excellent condition), and the other leadpipe for the current cornet standard taper. Anybody have a suggestion where I can get them made??

Thanks, Stan
