Launched in the latter half of the 1940s, the Custom Built series, which includes the Model 264, was celebrated for its meticulous construction, use of premium materials, and distinctive design elements. These instruments were designed to offer an expansive, open sound and a clear, vibrant tone. A notable design feature of this series is the reverse wrap configuration, where the main slide enters the third valve from the reverse side, a design choice that not only enhances playability but also contributes to the instrument's visual appeal.
