What is a reverse tuning trumpet?

A reverse tuning slide allows the air to flow smoother through the tuning slide area of the trumpet. In most trumpets, the top end of the tuning slide fits into the leadpipe creating a small obstruction where the air meets the rim of the tuning slide (inside the leadpipe). On a reverse tuning slide, however, the tuning slide fits over the leadpipe, eliminating that obstruction and allowing the air (in theory) to flow smoother.
