I both love and it’s great to see such simple instruments - particularly the forgotten Eb’s - that doubtless did a great job for very many musicians. IMHO ‘we’ seek too much perfection, push the envelope too far and over complicate things.

That would be a great bell to stick on one of those eBay King 4-valve BB-flat old-style 2341 bodies that are missing their bells.
