Bach 16M slides?

I'm wondering if anyone knows how to find slides?

I picked up and have been using a trombone which has a Bach 16M bell, but has a 16 duo-bore brass slide (recently modified to have a 3B crook on it). Plays great, and both parts are from the mid-late '70's. (slide is for sure, and bell sure looks and feels like it)

But, does anyone know who might have a stock of old Bach 16M single-bore .509 slides with lightweight outers?

Probably your best bet would be to contact DJ on the forum. Otherwise, luck?

You can buy them be from hickeys but it might be worth putting an ad in the classifieds here

Might be easier to have a slide made.

I have a number of small bore horns (mostly Bach) 2 12`s one 1990`s (Gold Brass bell & Light weight slide) and the other 1965 Elkhart but Mount Vernon parts
King 2B+ SS and the mother of all small bore horns .... a Bach Lt 16MG with a Kanstul H8 lead pipe - NOTHING plays like this horn.
My other horns play amazing and I`m not saying anything against my other horns but... this Lt16MG is soooooo far above anything else it`s amazing
