I may be seasoned, but not at instrument repair. I thought I would relate my experience with my King 1241 (similar to yours but older). I assume you have a removable bell. I had a similar sounding problem, something was buzzing. What I found with mine was that the solder on one of the brackets holding the thumbscrews was coming loose. With the thumbscrews not tightened down properly, the bell buzzes. I'd start with the thumbscrews first. The other thing I found is that the soldering coming loose is not always visible until it breaks loose totally. Check closely!
