Title pretty much says it - up for sale is a small bore Shires tuning slide built for Jim Pugh.

Yes, you are correct, it doesn't look right.

It has that offset radius you see in Monette trumpets.

I received it on a .500 bore TIS horn, then had Brad Close work up a new j-bend for it.

It fit in the .500 bore, as well as a Shires .508, I can measure if requested.

The slide is super neat, just not my thing.

It gets a very pretty soft sound, and bending is super easy. Again, not my thing.

There is lacquer wear on contact points, both on the brace and main bend of the slide.

No dings, dents, scrapes, or other molestation.

$450 shipped CONUS, international may be available, individual arrangements would have to be made.

Feel free to hit me up with any questions or to check it out in Los Angeles

Thanks

Jim
