Thanks for the recs. I have just purchased a 3B with valve and slide. I do not play valves and don't intend to take valves up. I am trying to figure out a way to find the valves and the case(modified for valves and slide) a way to be played. I considered finding a bell to pair or would entertain interest in the valves to pair with a pre-existing 3b bell.

This is a little hard for me to parse, probably because I haven't had my coffee yet. It sounds like you already have a 3B with a valve block (as in three pistons inside a "slide", not a 3BF with a single F attachment in the bell). You are looking for a double case that fits the slide and the "valve" block. However, you might also consider a bell section so that you have two bells, one for the slide and one for the "valve block". Is that correct? I'm liquidating a ton of King stuff at the moment and have a bell section that fits on a tenon for a 3B slide if you want to send me an email, I can get you pictures. I probably have a case I could include too.
