This trumpet features an M/K  Drawing and Bending tuning slide and 3rd slide dump cap. The tuning slide aids intonation--flawless on this horn--and gives the sound a lead or commercial edge. Original slides included too.Last year I sent the trumpet to Josh Landress in NYC, who did an ultrasonic cleaning and a Precision Valve Alignment (see photos). In addition, he worked on the action of the 1st and 3rd slides, which are now as smooth as glass. The valves are as quick and effortless as Schilke valves.There are a few very small dings and scratches--one on the bell crook, two next to the brace nearest the bell, and two on the first valve slide. See photos. They are tiny and do not affect playing in any way. There is one small spot on the valve casing where the silver is worn (see photos). The 1st valve bottom cap had been cross-threaded before I bought the horn. Josh fixed the threading. It now threads perfectly.In short, this is a beautiful, clean, upgraded Bach Strad with flawless valves, slides, Amado water keys, incredible intonation, and the classic Bach core sound.Comes with the original slides but no case or mouthpiece.
