Just a warning to whoever it is that has the high bid on this 8D - it is not all original - they have overhauled it and replaced the bell (and this is not told in the description). http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItemitem=7310314974ssPageName=ADM E:B:DS:US:28 Sincerely, Ken Just Put Your Lips Together And Blow http://www.poperepair.com US Dealer: Kuhn, Paxman Durk Pope Instrument Repair 80 Wenham Street Jamaica Plain, MA 02130 617-522-0532 ___ post: horn@music.memphis.edu unsubscribe or set options at http://music.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org

With due respect to the seller, the first line of the description does say, We are offering a TOTALLY RESTORED Conn 8D Double F-Bb French Horn I'm not a repairman, but that would indicate to me that major work was done. - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: horn@music.memphis.edu Sent: Monday, March 28, 2005 5:15 AM Subject: [Hornlist] Ebay 8D Just a warning to whoever it is that has the high bid on this 8D - it is not all original - they have overhauled it and replaced the bell (and this is not told in the description). http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItemitem=7310314974ssPageName=ADM E:B:DS:US:28 Sincerely, Ken Just Put Your Lips Together And Blow http://www.poperepair.com US Dealer: Kuhn, Paxman Durk Pope Instrument Repair 80 Wenham Street Jamaica Plain, MA 02130 617-522-0532 ___ post: horn@music.memphis.edu unsubscribe or set options at http://music.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/pmanly%40icehouse.net -- No virus found in this incoming message.

RE: [Hornlist] Ebay 8D
The issue begs the question, is there a standard description of such work. Absent a clear definition of terms, totally restored might in one case mean putting it in its original case with original mouthpiece, in another we had to rebuild with Sansone Parts because it had been involved in an airline crash. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Paul Manly Sent: Monday, March 28, 2005 9:10 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; The Horn List Subject: Re: [Hornlist] Ebay 8D With due respect to the seller, the first line of the description does say, We are offering a TOTALLY RESTORED Conn 8D Double F-Bb French Horn I'm not a repairman, but that would indicate to me that major work was done. - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: horn@music.memphis.edu Sent: Monday, March 28, 2005 5:15 AM Subject: [Hornlist] Ebay 8D Just a warning to whoever it is that has the high bid on this 8D - it is not all original - they have overhauled it and replaced the bell (and this is not told in the description). http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItemitem=7310314974ssPageName=ADM E:B:DS:US:28 Sincerely, Ken Just Put Your Lips Together And Blow http://www.poperepair.com US Dealer: Kuhn, Paxman Durk Pope Instrument Repair 80 Wenham Street Jamaica Plain, MA 02130 617-522-0532 ___ post: horn@music.memphis.edu unsubscribe or set options at http://music.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/pmanly%40icehouse.net -- No virus found in this incoming message.

Re: [Hornlist] Ebay 8D
And what about that serial number (R35011, circa 1972)?

What about the fact that this 8D has the old style pre-letter trigger linkage? I don't understand... can someone explain this? Aleks Ozolins NYC ___ post: horn@music.memphis.edu unsubscribe or set options at http://music.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org

I thought the older Elkhart 8D's only went up to the N series R series are Texas horns. As to the mechanical Bb lever, if you were to buy several older beat up Elkhart horns and combine the parts, you might end up with a mechanical Bb lever on your Texas series horn with a Eastlake bell. I am guessing that we will probably see a C series horn with a new bell on Ebay soon.

Regards,Jerry in Kansas City I believe N was the last letter series for the 8d in Elkhart. For a time after the move to Abilene existing Elkhart parts were used in the assembly of the new horns. This would account for the tapered rotors in the R series 8d.
