King fixed recording bell 1240 w/case

[York-aholic]

It’s in great shape and how often do you see one of the fixed recording bell cases?

Price is a bit steep.

Beautiful condition, but yeah, still too expensive.

Case is cool, like a blown-up recording bell baritone case.

That is a cool horn. I have a soft spot for fixed recording bells.

Don't these older ones like this have the slightly larger bore than the standard 1240/2340 horns?

Agreed about the price. Not realistic.

Not necessarily. I had a removable bell 1240 that had a .750" bore. I think you could probably order a fixed-bell one in .750", too.

Mind the gap… under the guard…

Just to add on to my last point, my friend has a fixed bell one of similar vintage that has the .687" bore, so it seems like either was an option.
