Re: [Hornlist] King horn manufacture locations
Jimmie et al, The H.N. White Company purchased the current 12 1/2 acres of land which occupies the current King/Conn facility in 1964. The company essentially moved from Cleveland proper to the suburban town of Eastlake. The location of King has not been always where it is now, only since 1964. I promised myself that I wasn't going to get involved in this thread, but King deserves a lot of credit for making some of the first Kruspe style horns in the United States. The earliest ones even had the reverse thumb valve that is found on many Kruspes. Some believe that the very first King Kruspe style horns were actually made from components manufactured by Kruspe. As far as any precursors to the McCracken designed or influenced Eroica, being McCracken designed, I would have to say most probably not, they are Kruspe wrap horns pure and simple and at one time were a viable alternative to the Conn 8D. Now I am not saying that George McCracken didn't improve the pre-Eroica line, it may very well be that he did, I have no information pertaining to that and would appreciate anyone who has documentation to support that.. King also made a Schmidt model. There has been some really good information about the Eroica model and King horns in several related threads.

Re: [Hornlist] King horn manufacture locations
All pre-UMI, UMI horns are manufactured in Eastlake, Ohio in the same factory as the H.N. White company. The facility has undergone numerous expansions during the UMI years but is at the same location it has always been. Today the following brass instruments are manufactured at this location: King, Conn and Benge. BTW: The King Eroica is no longer being manufactured.

[Hornlist] King horn manufacture locations
Pre-UMI, the KING brand was built by H.N. White Co., Cleveland Ohio (I don't know the exact location), Eastlake is a near suburb of Cleveland). If you see a King instrument that is engraved H.N. White, that means it is pre-UMI. Jay Kosta Endwell NY ___ post: [EMAIL PROTECTED] unsubscribe or set options at http://music.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org

Re: [Hornlist] A Do-It-Yourself Screwbell How-To...
Hey Paul, Have you seen the Homer Simpson commercial for Master Card? If I attempted to cut the bell on my two Alex 103's (the other one is already cut), I probably could be heard all the way to the Hornwrecker's house yelling Do'ah!!! By the way, Hornwrecker lives literally around the corner from me... I remember the line, "Don't attempt this at home"I am also reminded of the line from the WEB Griffin novel about a person jumping from a perfectly functioning aircraft...

I would only cost about $1000. $100 for the ring $ 50 for the instructions $ 100 for the necessary tools and supplies( unless you already have an adequate torch) $ 750 for a qualified repair tech to supply a new bell and new ring and to correct what ever other damage you incur to your horn by trying to do this without knowing what you are doing. :) Paul Navarro Custom Horn ___ post: [EMAIL PROTECTED] unsubscribe or set options at http://music.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/wlewis9637%40wowway.com --- Incoming mail is certified Virus Free.
