Bach Rounded Main Tuning Slide

Anyone know where on the net I can purchase one of the Bach rounded slides? Anyone have any recommendations on another slide that can open up a bach as well as the bach rounded slide? My friend has one that came with his 37, and it blew a heck of alot easier. I have found that the leadpipe and tuning slide on bachs have been the problem of the stuffiness and lack of response, and by finding a good pipe, or slide it makes all the difference.

Thanks

MK Drawing do a good one (although I've never tried it myself). A kind of half-round, not the full semi-circle. Will Spencer in the UK should be able to help, or MK Drawing themselves.

www.willspencer.org

Or for a discussion about them...

I have purchased the MK Drawing tuning slide (braced version) from Will Spencer (he is just fitting a standard waterkey and lacquer at the moment). I tried it out over a couple of weeks including a tour to Holland and was very surprised. I thought my Bach ML180-43 was always quite a open horn anyway, but this slide really opens up the horn in both the upper and lower registers, and feels to have more vibrancy to the sound. On the whole, it is a great slide. Well worth checking out.
