Edwards T-396AR leadpipe

[Tbone00]

Hi guys! I have some questions about this trombone
Is the 396AR leadpipe the same as in the previus Alessi model the 396A? If not, what Edwards leadpipe is equivalent to? (Some people told me that the previus 396a leadpipe is a bit more open than the T2 edward leadpipe)
Is the 396ar leadpipe removable?

No it is not the same.
You can get a T2 Artist model leadpipe.
On the new slides the leadpipe is removable.
