If you're in North Jersey, Randy Ulmer is the man to go to. A relative
of mine once dropped my Elkhart 8D on a marble floor and Randy made it
look better than it had before. Contact me off list for his number.

Hello, Hornlist
Hello, Hornlist subscribers!
Last year, I acquired a 1970 Conn 8D (Elkhart) in poor condition from my local
high school. It plays very nicely, but it needs lacquer and dent removal. I
live in northern New Jersey and am a senior in high school. I was wondering if
there was a local shop that i
Thanks Kendall, and Steve Mumford, too, for the corrected information on
Schmidt and the American horn makers. It's always good to get things
straight, especially given the lack of documentation and the "urban

Another place to check out is Baltimore Brass. They have a whole wall
of French horns, usually several of most models to choose from. Albert
Houde (pronouced Hood) is their horn specialist, MM from Peabody under
Landgren, IIRC.

Although it has been said, it isn't at all true. Many of the Conn Schmidt
model horns said "made in Germany" on the valve lever support. That was true
only of the rotary valve set which was made by Martin Peter in Germany, not the
same valves used by Schmidt. The rest of the horn, includi

To help me understand this, did the Horner Model Kruspe develop parallel
with the Schmidt, or did Horner "borrow" a little of the Schmidt design when
he went to Kruspe?

Mr. Betts,
May I pick your brain? What are the differences in taper between the
Kruspe pipe and the Schmidt pipe and what do they do to the playing
feel/sound? Just curious!

Looking for recommendation on horn repairman in Dallas. Houghton is a good
place but a long hike for me. I'm looking for an alternative.

Ben,
I have an old Elkhardt 8d lead pipe that I've had in my shop for many
years. I originally got it directly from Conn as a replacement part. It is
leaded,which facilitate bending to shape. I would Suspect it is at least
"N": series. I don't know how to price this item,so make an offer.

Actually, the 8D leadpipe is copied from the Schmidt, as are many others
including Geyer, Reynolds, King, Olds, Holton, generic Allied, etc. It's a
long, gradual F horn taper. It's probably a better pipe than the Kruspe pipes
in
regard to intonation but both have upper register problems.
