Good guess, Vern. 1925 York trumpet. The valve turns a Bb trumpet to the key of A. ( I think A is the alternate key.) Half turn of the lever to left makes it Bb. Turn it up and it's A. I still don't know how a trumpet or cornet works ...there are lots of configurations that seem to work about the same as far as pitch and they all respond to the same key strokes. I know the valves play an important part in the sound produced. And I know the length and bore of the tubing makes a difference in both the sound and key. That little loop in the photo retunes the whole horn and directs how the sound vibration moves. And... I haven't found anybody who can explain how it all works in any kind of way that makes any sense to me. Maybe that's much of why I am fasinated with these old horns.
