Best diz bell trumpet available

Modern King 2055tub is a diz styled trumpet with that great looking bent upward bell. Does anyone else make a better trumpet with that diz style bent up bell?

Are decent pre UMI King diz trumpets available used?

A few years back I played an older Jupiter that had a removable upturned bell. It was a superb player. I tried to buy it from the guy that owned it but he wouldn't sell.

ETA: I believe it was a Jupiter 1010s.

Carol Brass makes a Dizzy style horn. I haven't had a chance to try it, but their other horns play wonderfully. No reason to think this would be any different.

The Carol Brass is a nice horn. I actually got an early prototype that has a yellow brass bell as opposed to the red brass that the current model uses. I would take it over the King or the Jupiter(which I used to play in college and wasn't a very good horn) any day.

I know in our shop we have some pretty awesome upturned bell trumpets from Adams and also Brasspire (two different price points on the Brasspire as well that can fit in different budgetary needs).

A lot of custom makers will do this for you upon request.

Or do what I did and have it done to your own horn...

This is something many people can do themselves at home. There are numerous resources for learning how to remove your bell, make the bend and re-install. If you're looking for a complete custom built solution, there are at least 6 companies today who have offered this type of work.
