I joined this list about six months ago. Since that time, we've been
through two oil seasons, one horn hygiene series, two or three ridicule the
amatuer musician threads, a scathing rebuke for hob-nobbing with a trumpet
teacher, a kooky debate about whether Bach was mathematical or not (as if

Frankly, I don't know.
I don't think that air always passing through that piece of tubing. It may
pass into it, but without both valves depressed it probably does not pass
all the way through. You are correct in saying that it would only effect
that pitch as much as a longer third valve slide

I've never seen a Buescher model like this, but I do own a Conn Conn-Queror
that also has added tubing between the first and third valves. On the Conn,
the tube you see going from the first valve to the third valve acts as a
compensator. I don't know for sure, but I would assume that they are
It is indeed a Buescher cornet. In the early 1900s, Conn made a similar
model which is sometimes called a crossover model because of the way the
connections between the valves cross over instead of just going in line from
one to
the next. In the 1870s, Conn made some way more outlandish

I'm looking at a horn that has a similar wrap and on the 3rd slide, the
narrow loop is much longer (about twice as long as the 2nd valve
