What to Know

Atkinson’s AK-1930 Legacy is positioned around vintage Kruspe traits: long leadpipe, long first branch, inline valves, independent tuning slides, and smooth bends. Published Atkinson context ties the design lineage to Ed Kruspe.

Bore: 11.9 mm / .468 in; Bell: Fixed or detachable; Materials: Nickel silver (maker-listed option); Linkage: Custom order; Finish options: Custom or special order.

Because this is a custom-built model, individual examples may not share a single fixed specification.
