Some more technical details for everyone. The PROTOTYPE fixed bell King 2341 you see has the same body as before, but with the bell from the Conn 56J CC tuba. That is a larger throat and at 20" the diameter of the bell is 1 inch greater.
Now, that shorter bell means they had to add back in some length. They went to a wider, main tuning slide crook. Those with older vintage Kings will recognize it as what was once used on their horn. The main slide tubes were also lengthened. The smaller 5th branch is just a bit longer on each side. The leadpipe is a bit longer. The rest seems to be stock King 2341 UB.
As for price, there is no price at this time. However, it is expeced to sell at the same price as a current 2341 UB. We have to wait and see. Later.
Matt
