As I usnderstand, the begining models of the cann 6d and 8d were mostly hand-made. I think that I can somewhat certify this by the way my early 6d seemed to be made. It was one of the earliest 6d's and thusly had the hand-spun bell and the slightly curved leadpipe. The whole thing was just superbly put together, I don't think I would have sold it if it didn't need a valve job and I wasn't in a large orchestra...ah well.
