Hi all, I was given a free glory pocket trumpet by my repairman to keep in the car as a practice horn. Unfortunately while preparing it he broke the first piston so I am trying to see if there’s a replacement available. I think he said it’s a .666 diameter (or 6.66mm?). If anyone has any leads on an instrument graveyard that might have parts it would be most appreciated!

There are so many other things that need to match up besides piston diameter.

Like position of entry and exit points of the ports in the piston.
Is it top or bottom sprung?
What kind of valve guide does it use?

Best case would be to find one from the same model of horn or repair and refit the original.
