For sale is my Williams "L" model which is roughly .520-.522 in bore size. It is a player. The original slide is nickel with a brass crook. The bell section is in very good shape with the normal laquer wear you'd expect.

I also have a .525 bore slide that was made for me by my repairman from Getzen tubes. It comes with 3 leadpipes and has brass tubes with nickel sleeves. It is a bit shorter in length than the original slide but the horn is somewhat longish so even with the shorter slide you are not very far out on the tuning slide.

This is a tuning in the bell model and is press fit.

Send a PM if you are interested or have any questions.

I forgot to mention that the newer slide was built using a crook from a Williams model 8 that I sourced from John Noxon. So it is the same crook dimensions as the original.

No pics. Considering it was made in 1935 it looks very good, and it is a PLAYER. A sound like no other.
