Slide trumpet
This instrument design differs from the usual English slide trumpet as it has a "trombone-type" slide that extends and provides a longer extension. It is entirely made of brass with a slide that has a screw stopper and a cork bumper on handle to smooth the touch with the slide shaft. The bell seam has a triangular gusset.
