^ look at your horns again. Is it a #4 or a #4a bell? If it is a #4 then you have a Canadian tune.
It’s not a Canadian K3L or H unless it has 1,2, and 3.
Here is a Canadian tuned k3h with bells 1,2,4

it is a #4. is that why it is a little more high pitch then most k3 i have heard
Just because Curt has it listed as Canadian tuned (not to knock Curt in ANY way at all as he seems to be a great guy) doesn’t mean that it is. All K3’s that were Canadian tuned came with bells 1,2, and 3 from the factory. The 3 bells combined made for a D# minor chord which was required in Canada.
To the OP, it isn’t uncommon for some 4a bells to come without the A stamped in it. You have to check the bore on the nozzle to be sure.
Oops. Fixed it. 1,2,3 is Canadian.
There are 3 general 4 bells. Canadian 4, Dischord 4 found on K5H’s, and a American 4A. Some have a A some dont as stated above. The bells bore is the only determining factor.
Any info of where these horn’s came from? I normally do a country wide search on craigslist and haven’t seen them. But I check every other day.
wow that is one hell of a find!
Man I’m not sure all I know is he told me I texted him within minutes of his posting I talked to him the other day just to see if I liked them and hr gave me another com. So now a have duel 480s but I’m haveing a problem with my check valve i beloved it keeps gettin stuck around 120 psi I actually got a industrial check valve from work we use for keg lines any ideas how to run both comps?
Sorry I’m trying to type on my girfriends iPhone I hate this thing

Make sure you wear gloves when installing them so you don’t burn your hands.
Sweet deal man! You need to buy our Baller-AZZ manual train horn valve
Haha.
When Swanson first introduced the K series horns in 1954, he offered two different combinations. The first was the K3H, which uses bells 1, 2, and 3. This horn plays D#, F#, and A# - D# minor - in line with Canadian regulations. The K3H was offered on two different three-chime bases. One mounts all three horns in a horizontal line, next to each other. The second, like the early three-chime P base, mounts one horn in the middle, with on on each side, rotated 90 degrees. The second was the K5H, which uses bells 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. This horn plays D# minor 6th (D#, F#, A#, C, D#) and is on a high-profile manifold. The manifold has three bells in a row on the “top”, and two bells below, rotated 90 degrees.
