The "King" style neck came in two different shapes, one taller than the other. They share an over-sizedreciever that the bits reduced to a standard mouthpiece size.They also have 2 different size bits that fit together "top" and "bottom" to reduce the size difference of the reciever-to mouthpiece.A standard sized reciever,( Conn,Jupiter,Yamaha, Olds)
might be soldered onto the King neck, to replace the over-sized King part.
