A real beauty! Those long braces to the bell feel like they are wasted if your not drying a towel on 'em.

There it is, the 4th valve finger button peeking out between the tag and the glare off the 3rd valve circuit. And with most of the 4th circuit following the bugle, save that little straight section for a tuning slide, it isnhard to tell it's there.

Cool beans!
