      Valve trumpets were comparatively rare in Britain when this instrument was made because most players preferred to use the slide trumpet. This instrument, which retains the long shape, ball, and playing position of the slide trumpet, was an attempt to make valved instruments acceptable within the tradition of natural and slide trumpets. The bell and tubing is made of direct method brass. The garland and ferrules are of paktong (early Chinese nickel brass).
