That slide loop looks like a BBb conversion loop to me. A complete turn of an 8" loop is 25".

You could then replace the bell with the 20" bell of Dale's, which might actually fit that bottom bow, especially if the ferrule was moved down a bit. That bell has a faster taper and might get rid of the blats that Dr. Young mentioned. With a new bell, you'd need a new leadpipe, and you could take another six inches off the instrument by running it straight into the lower port of a new fifth valve ala Parantucci.
