Notice the trigger on the first valve. This is the short version of the, perhaps better known, "long model" (trumpet-like) 38A Connstellation. The instrument is nickel plated with brass trim, and has a 5 1/8" bell. This short model Connstellation is a personal favorite, although I have never seen a real one.
