the old conn consetellation 4 valve euph came with a straigth detachable bell and you could also get a bell front for it. conn and king have been sister companies for quite a while, before that they were competitors. There are many similar models between the two brands.
more recently wilson made a 4valve comp, front action for the canadian brass. a different model was made by getzen, also for the canadian brass (cb 40 maybe). woof woof bad dogs. I am still waiting for someone to make a front action 5 valve for tenor tuba work, maybe they could make it switch with different slides/crooks for C and Bb....one must dream..
