very nice horn. What part is Eb York bugle (a Eb York tuba?)

Thanks

Everything from the main tuning slide to the detachable bell stack. The recording bell is also York, while the upright detachable bell pictured is Yamaha. I also have a York detachable bell, but I don't have a picture right now...

The original 3 valve set was also .656, so I felt as though the Conn 4J set was a good match.

This one is almost done. I still want to do some more with polishing and cleaning stuff up, maybe add a thumb ring. I just modified the 4th slide so it fit the horn a little better.

King valves and W. Nirschl body.

My God, that horn is huge! I have never seen one like it. I wouldn't have been able to pick it up, let alone play it, before my hearing loss. Mazel Tov!!
