"Would that come under the category of say a Conn 6D??? since it's not really a Geyer or a Kruspe..." Actually, I would call it a Kruspe variant. Some say that the C.F. Schmidt (sans piston valve) was a design influence for this horn. Mark L. ___ post

I would go so far to say that the wrap itself is absolutely not important. It's more of the general characteristics of geyer and kruspe horns that make the difference. The kruspe is basically a large throated nickel silver horn, i.e. 8D, whereas the geyer wrap is of a medium/smallish bell throat,

I have come to my own conclusionsI'm writing a horn design paper with topic "Knopf vs. Kruspe" and I'd like to use imput and evidence from the horn community. So, if you feel so inclined to give me your theories and personal stories or anything relating to the two wraps, please do so!
