Hye, I own an older King 2341 that has been refurbished and all that junk. I am a really sharp player, and my tuning slide usually has to be long enough to reach the floor. I can BARELY play in tune on this horn, and I usually have to lip down a bit to play flatter. My problem is, my tuning slide cannot go out any longer because it will not be a tight fit at the end of the tube. When I pull it out as far as I can, it started to become jiggly and usually falls out. This problem could be fixed if the slides were not so loose in the pipes. Any advice on how to fix this myself? Or is this a job for the repairman? Thanks
