Hello all,
  
 I wanted to  thank everyone who responded to my questions in the Horn Digest, 
Vol  39, Issue 6. I really appreciated all of your responses. It was nice  that 
you were able to show me pictures of the Getzen Horn to confirm  that it was a 
compensating horn which I am looking at. I will have to  shop around some more 
for a double horn, now that you all have  enlightened me. I also appreciated 
the information some of you gave me  about teachers in the Northwest, and about 
getting the horn looked at  by someone other than the shop and myself. 
  
  I want to surely thank the people who helped me with their responses:
  
  Jonell Lindholm
  John Wilber
  Richard Berthelsdorf
  Alan Cole <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
  Hans Pizka <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
  Steve Mumford <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
  Sandy Sandford <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
  Simon Varnam <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
  
  Fred Baucom <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - Thank you very much, the  links you 
provided me look like the information I wanted on mouthpieces!
  I will have to pick up a copy of that book too...
  
  Thank you all for information about teachers, horns, and history, and for all 
of your encouragement too.
  
  Take care,
  Seth Urbach

As far as I know, Getzen never sold a Kruspe style horn but there was one 
that looked just like a Conn 6D, you should be able to find a picture of a 6D 
on eBay.  The other model was a compensating horn.  Both were made in Italy 
and imported by Getzen (and others).  They are spectacularly mediochre if not 
leaking.  Definitely get somebody who can really play to try it before you buy. 
 You could be buying a gurantee that you will have "no talent".
