Greetings -
Yes, I'm in Seventh Heaven with my 49-year-old single F Conn 4D. I bought it last year on e-Bay for peanuts. The seller wanted to make sure everybody knew the bell was dented, so there were two pictures which showed terrible dents. But it was only the light and how he took the pictures. The thing was in almost perfect condition.
I got the horn last month, cleaned it up, took the dents out, new string/stops, stripped the lacquer, put on two water keys. Oh, Boy!
I'm a happy camper. This is the third best one I've gotten. One's in Oregon (hi, Dave!), the other's on my workbench waiting to be put back together after I cut the bell.
I love single F horns, and have 13 or 14 Conn 4D's. Regards from Guanajuato, Carlberg -- My ISP feels that some of my e-mails are not worthy of deliverance.
