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.

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!!
