Note well that I am a middle-aged, not-very-talented amateur. So my
comments are definitely worth what I'm charging you for them, possibly
even less. Note also that Kendall Betts disagrees with my preference

That's okay. Wasn't upset. At least I have better education of the proper way

Not to beat the tired horse here, but I'd like to underscore some things
that have already been said on this subject and maybe add something.
Most horn designs, whether 8-D, Engelbert Schmidt, Alexander, Holton,
Geyer, Paxman, etc. are sound, and the player's choice as to which horn

There is some confusion as to what a new leadpipe does/will do for an
existing instrument. In my experience, leadpipes will not make an
instrument sound different.
Depending upon the taper of the leadpipe and the diameter of the
receiver, the overall 'resistance' may be affected. In addition the
I've got a Patterson pipe on my early Texas 8D, but it
came with the horn when I got it. I've played it
against stock 8Ds from different periods, and I think
that the biggest difference between the stock 8Ds and
my horn is that the Patterson pipe just makes the horn
play easier, and better in tune

Hello Dave and Listers:
All true what you said about hours and hours of design and testing but I
think your description of the manufacturing of a pipe is a bit simplistic.
Since I'm working on a batch of pipes, learning to make them right, I'll list
details and approximate times so the f

Luke,
What kind of 8D is it? It is perceived that depending upon the year of
manufacture, there is a variance of quality.
Beware. I have heard two arguments. Think along the lines of old
automobiles.

The sound is what matters, and historical value is for things that sit in a

Sealing your embouchure with duct tapes prevents bad attacks, wrong notes,
sloppy slurs, and major intonation problems. Try it.
