...of imagine putting a King RECORDING BASS bell (22") on a REGULAR 4/4 body, EXCEPT with a FULL 90-DEGREE "sousaphone" bell elbow. 4

so...in my opinion re: your hypothesis...no. :teeth:
Yeah, I was trying to find amongst the pictures the models that had the closest match to the tubing routing as mine without much attention to the rest of the instrument.

You should leave an email address or some other way for people to contact you.
Yep, I'm Mark
