It does seem like the main tuning slide has been removed/lost and rather ingeniously someone has stuck trumpet bells to the open ends...
Cunning.
Can't see why this never took off in a big way (perhaps it did... somewhere...).

"This instrument is a
great collectors piece, as it has three bells" [
one of which may even be original]
Hurry, hurry!

This is your repairman.
This is your repairman on drugs.
Any questions?

Note the return policy - you pay shipping. If it turns out to not be what you needed, despite appearances.

It comes in a BBb case
I wonder if the case could be cut to CC?

In that case, I wonder if the trumpets are restorable...

Bloke, your fascination with circlophoniums is leading you to more and more advanced rebuilds. This one would surely be able to crank out the double-pedal register and prevent everybody else from kicking @zz. I am impressed!
Is this young cute-o-phonist
my late discovering of your newly achieved grandfatherhood? A horn induced unloading by the oboist?
