...doesn't look too bad.
Just get your breath support right and blow the Missingheart with a mute mounted. That should make the dents pop.
But the 3rd slide tubing looks a bit short compared to the 1st slide tubing. Maybe this one suffers from the same syndrome, which made many players dismiss the little Besson/B&H/Westminster/Regent/700 series Eb thing: In order to make that babytuba fit into a case without wrecking the 3rd slide, the receiving tubing was cut far too short. The 3rd slide needed a 2"(or so) pull just to equal the combined lengths of 1st + 2nd.
