Now we know what bloke wanted the rotary valves for - CB50 style long whole step valve before the block. Nice work! Looking forward to seeing the front valve version.

Re: show & tell
Can't speak for why most CC players would want to play a front-valved horn.
I prefer front-valves. On top-valved horns all the blood tends to eventually rushes out of my hand.
And that's it.
Though I did try a couple of Besson-style Eb's and found them almost impossible to hold up. Shame really.
