Dawn, I think that there is another answer: You simply aren't seeing the music that has the good horn parts. Trust me, there are composers and arrangers of modern band music who definitely know how to write good horn parts. Carlisle On Nov 24, 2007, at 9:12 PM, Dawn McCandless wrote:

Richard's description of pre-WW II Kruspe horns matches, for the most part, my horn. I bought my double Kruspe in 1940. I was told then it was about twenty years old, so that would mean the horn was built around 1920. As far as I can see, there is nothing that looks like a typical serial number
