Hi,
I believe the "R" series was the last letter series and,
TTBOMK, they were made in both Indiana and Texas.
I have an unaltered "R" horn that has a Texas bell and
tapered Elkhart rotors.

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.

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

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).

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: 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?ViewItem&item=7310314974&ssPageName=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.
