Hi Steve - if you can email a couple of pictures of them I can probably identify them,
especially the Yamaha. Its a quirky ability/fascination with horn design that I have
that has taken the form of my identifying brands/models of horns seen on televised
symphony performances. My parents got
As I understand it, "Geyer style" means the 4th valve (the actual rotor,
not the thumb lever) is down by your left pinky finger when you're holding
the horn in playing position.
"Normal" configuration (also sometimes referred to as "Kruspe style") means
the 4th valve rotor is up by your left th

The 6D is radically different from the 8D. Shop online or visit the
manufacturer's website (Conn/Selmer/Steinway/Fender/UMI...). A picture is
worth thousand words.

That was true enough for Elkhart Conns, but they model numbers were not
die-stamped on Abilene Conns (at least all of the examples that I have
seen.
Here are a couple of websites that will help with identification of a Yamaha
or a Conn. The different Conn models (6d vs 8d) are easily identified
visually. The Yamaha is perhaps slightly less so as there are several Geyer
types and several Kruspe types.

Most of the Conn horns that I've seen have the model number die-stamped
into the outside of the mouthpiece receiver -- e.g., 8D, 6D, 4D, etc.

We have two horns in the house, an old, beaten-up Conn from a local public
school district that's on loan to us and a fairly nice Yamaha. On the bell,
I see the manufacturer but no indication of model number - this goes for
both horns.
How can I tell what I've got? Is there a standard location o
