John's got a good idea there. I like the idea of a thumbring on the first slide rather than the York-style nubbins.

A bigger problem for me was the top 1st slide. If you lube it lightly enough so that you can pull it while playing, then forgetting to push the valve down after dumping water would cause the top slide to pop out the moment you shoved the bottom one in. Hence the monofilament fishing line attached between the top slide and the brace just below it. At least if it pops out, it won't fall on the floor.

I'm still for a waterkey of some sort on the bottom 1st slide, pants be damned.
