They also made a front action .770 bore short stroke valve set, at least in 3 valves. I know because I have one. I hear that they made 4 valve versions of these, but I have never seen one. Mine is from 1934, and I'm not sure when they stopped making them. I wonder how much of the tooling still exists from the older Conn horns with the moves from Elkhart to Abilene to Cleveland (the King factory).

My 22J is a great playing BBb BAT, but it still has the flat 3rd partial. I wonder if putting those valves on a smaller horn would eliminate this problem?
