I'm a little confused. I thought you and Klaus both said the bell section was from an 88H. If my memory serves me correctly (a dicey proposition in many cases), the 8H and 88H are the same except that the 8H is straight while 88H has an F trigger. If you've got the trigger, that's your fourth valve. I can't tell from the picture whether it is really so equipped, but if not I'm curious if it could be.
Joe Baker, who could play it more in tune with a slide than with any number of valves!
