Sam,
That is quite an instrument. I thought it was built to be in the same class as the Conn 46K jumbo, not the 20K.
I have not played the King Giant, but I have a 46K, and they are probably somewhat similar. It is a great horn, provided you have a good chiropracor available ;^) One must learn to play the Conn with no more resistance than the mouthpiece can provide, for the instrument has virtually no resistance. I measured the bore on the Conn at .770", with slightly larger piston ports. What is the bore size on the King Giant?
