I don't know how current this is but Dillon's used to have raincatchers for the big Conns and they were the smaller ones,not 24 but between 20 and 22 inches.I have one with a Cerveny bell and it actually sounds quite good.Adding a fourth valve as a rotary has been something I've wanted to try but the 20J's don't have a workable length of cylindrical tubing.These horns do have very good false tones though and I would like to put on something to facilitate using the first valve for tuning.The thing about using a four valve cluster is that these horns just blow more open and center easier with three valves.I played a 34J in the Disney band for a couple of years,the 20J I have now is light years easier to play.I hope some of this will be of help to you.
