According to Nancy Jordan Fako's biography of Phil Farkas, he played
a horn built by Carl Geyer mostly, but switched to a Conn 8D when
needed because he felt it gave him additional security. In other
words the Conn was an easier horn to play. Farkas helped design the
Holton which bears his name
I would bet that that yamaha wasn't his... but was one of his students

some years ago (6 - 8) I recall that his "primary" 8D was up
for sale, thru an agent, no less.

>IMO, your assertion that "maybe the Elkhart 8D's are comparable to
the Holton" is laughable. The marketplace certainly does not agree.
