Dear all I quite agree that fine craftsmanship is vitally important to the production of a horn, but it has been my experience that horns of any type vary quite considerably. When much younger I worked in the sales department of a horn maker and although the horns were consistently and rigorously assembled, there were still excellent horns, good horns and also rans.
So, when I recently I played a brand new Conn 8D, (which I purchased) I was very pleased to find a horn with excellent intonation, brilliant valves, superior finish and remarkable tonal variation. In other words, I am chuffed-to-nuts with my new horn. Whether this horn is just a freak of manufacturing excellence or others have a similar experience, I know not. But I would like to express my thanks to fine American workers for providing me with my own 'super horn'.
