Off course. It is not my maker of my double horns.
Mr.Worischek, who makes horns in the traditional way, even
the bell is cut, it is cut off the long, one piece bell (one
piece from valve section to the very end.
No, I spoke of another very prominent maker not far from my
place. His craftsmanship
Thank you Hans. I have seen the page, and I have seen the process live
in other shops. I am with you in my preference for the bells made in
the manner described, but there are certainly many who prefer spun
bells. I do not own one of your horns or flares (although a Viennese
horn is on my "wish l

Happy New Year to all.
