I saw a post here before linked with an article about that. Just want to see if anyone else has seen one.Burgerbob wrote: Mon Jan 26, 2026 12:45 pm One of those proto Jiggs, right? Single bore, lightweight slide 2b.
Seems to be 2B bore size. The 2B at my school is able to share tuning slides and hand slide. I have a King Tempo Bell which the tuning slide fits. Plays extremely well.
