That’s a town over from me. Happy to check it out or hold onto it for any prospective buyer… It is a lot of money for a 3v Eb though, no matter how good of shape it’s in.

I had one that size with 5 valves. I was never really happy with the tone, so i gradually kept making larger ones until I wound up with the york monster I have now (plus the Norwegian star)

Yours was not a King, correct?
Just for fun (years ago) I picked up one like it (King) to see if I could recreate the Bill Bell F...
...determined that it would end up matching the third-party remarks regarding the actual Bell-owned instrument, and parted it out.

It was a Conn, but very similar in size

My 5 valve Eb is built from the top action version of that. I really like mine.

According to the H.N. White site, 14" bell, 30" long and slim; the Wessex Bombino is bigger fwiw. This might be considered a 1/2 size Eb if the Bombino and the King medium it somewhat resembles are 3/4 size.
