I HAVE A THREE VALVE KING STRING ACTION ROTARY WITH A TRIGGER ON THE TUNING SLIDE THAT I USED PROFESSIONALLY IN THE AIR FORCE BAND IN WASHINGTON D.C. IN THE SIXTIES, AND IT IS STILL IN BEAUTIFUL CONDITION. IT HAS AN EXCEPTIONAL TONE AND IS ONE OF THE ORIGINAL BILL BELL MODELS. I PURCHASED IT USED IN 1950, AND IT HAS BEEN OVERHAULED BY THE KING FACTORY AROUND 1970. IT IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION EXCEPT FOR A FEW DINGS. IT HAS A DETACHABLE RECORDING BELL, AND I HAVE BOTH HARD CASES.
