Crookless Trumpet c.1950 This is a rare Carl Wohlrab
German Crookless Trumpet. There are no valve tuning crooks and slides,
but instead, the tubing of the valve casings and the valves themselves
is used to achieve the additional length by the use of internal spiral
spaces and partitions (see valve patent diagram down below). The valve
casings are the diameter of baritone valve casings. These photos
are used with the kind permission of Steven Ward of Quinton VA. in
whose excellent brass collection this most unusual trumpet now resides.
