Besson/Buffet Crampon Group mouthpiece bag

Re: Does anybody know where you can get the bungee cord he has on his first valve slide

They look like the very well adjusted slides (with non-elastic cords). When he lets one go, it falls back down into place. I have slides that move like trumpet slides! That may be what they are.

I just recently purchased a Buescher CC from Lee Stofer and Eric Murphy. They used a 4 valve Buescher sousaphone valve section, and a hirsbrunner rotor for the fifth. Might look into that.
