I haven't followed this thread very closely, but the mention of catalog causes my usual Pavlovian reaction as my brass gallery project holds these scans:
Scans of older Yamaha horn catalogue and horn pages from Yamaha general brass catalogues (1976, circa 1985, post 1990): Single page 300 dpi scans in .pdf format: http://launch.groups.yahoo.com/group/YorkMasterPublicPhotos56/files/Scans%20of%20older%20Yamaha%20horn%20ca-/ Yamaha Custom Horns from a circa 1988 catalogue: Single page 300 dpi scans in .pdf format: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/YorkMasterPublicPhotosXI/files/Yamaha%20custom%20horns%20circa%201988/ If you have horn (or other brass) catalogues and a scanner, I would be most happy for receiving scans in 300dpi resolution and in .jpg format. Please contact me off list before starting the scanning to avoid redundant work. I am on a fixed rate high speed connection with a hug in-box, so I have no problems in doing this kind of fun work, which some kind people even find useful. Latest sample is that a player found out, that his Alexander 5V single Bb horn is much closer to a pre-WWII Knopf than to the various Sansone versions. Clinical blue-print type photos of interesting horns are most welcome. Engravings can be hard to get right due to reflections. Sometimes a few supplemental shot from different angles will add up to a good reading. Format: the same as for the scans. Unless you insist my general policy is NOT to give credits for ownership and photography. Uninvited guests should not be lead to your homes.
