NMM 7100. Trumpet in B-flat by King Musical Instrument Company, Cleveland, ca. 1972. Harry James Model. Gold plated. This trumpet features a so-called "balanced action," in which the valves are set forward (170 mm instead of the normal ca. 140 mm distance from receiver to first valve). Harry James preferred this design, in order to accommodate his long arms. from Joe R. & Joella F. Utley Collection, 1999.
