        It's identical to my 1940 Recording.

            No, mine doesn't have that extra item.

              The added pushrod ruins it. Not needed.

                It looks like a solution to a problem that needed to be addressed by the techniques and skills of the player, not by adding a questionable, possibly detrimental, and undoubtedly expensive appendage to a trumpet that plays superbly without such modification.

                  @j-jericho Might be that the perpetrator wanted to mess around with microtonals...

                    Correct me if I am wrong but the Recording has a single slide and brace on the main, this one looks like it has a specially fabricated removeable extra slide inserted into the main slide.

                    This pushrod looks like it allows the player to extend the main slide under thumb control of the right hand.

                    If this is set up like a trigger with an internal spring, and that looks possible, then the player suddenly has trigger control available on first and on third.

                    Additionally this trigger would be useable when the left hand is occupied by a mute.

                    The plunger now becomes more user friendly.

                    It looks to me like a classy addition to a classy instrument.

                    Just my 2 cents.

                      At NTSU (that would be UNT for you youngsters) they had some trumpets in the school's equipment that had a tuning trigger on the tuning slide. There was a name for this mechanism, but I don't remember it. I don't remember exactly how it was set up, but I am pretty sure it wasn't with a push rod. But I think it is a good idea for someone with an extremely good sense of pitch. It would enable you to adjust pitch on any note no matter what valves were pushed down.

                          I had a trumpet teacher with a pitch finder on his Bach C. This device could adjust both the 3rd valve slide and the main tuning slide and it could pull in as well as push out. It was a complicated mechanism.

                            It’s been relisted a dozen times since this thread was posted so apparently most prospective buyers are scared off by either the modification or the $2000 price.
