Shel I guess I have to call into question the comment that Steve Lewis' link
with Geyer is "direct." Lewis arrived in Chicago a full 2 y

Hi, Guys
Here's what I have to offer about C.F. Schmidt:
http://www.rjmartz.com/horns/schmidt/cfschmidt.html
My first horn was a Schmidt-like object with no label so I've
aiways been fond of them. I had to trade it in for an 8-D when I moved to the
Philadelphia area:

So, what exactly was Conn's "boo-boo"? Just the use of German Silver, or the
whole megillah?

Kendall, I'm a little puzzled by your comparison of the Conn 8D and the Kruspe

the Schmidt, not the Kruspe, then were they trying to copy the Kruspe or the

Kendall,
To help me understand this, did the Horner Model Kruspe develop parallel
with the Schmidt, or did Horner "borrow" a little of the Schmidt design when
he went to Kruspe?

Mr. Betts,
May I pick your brain? What are the differences in taper between the
Kruspe pipe and the Schmidt pipe and what do they do to the playing
feel/sound? Just curious!

Did you notice that the older Schmidt had the same bore
(tuning slide) as have the Viennese horns: 10.8 mms ? I
tried one superb Schmidt in Japan 1995 & tried to fit the
tuning slide from my Viennese Horn. It fits perfectly. Quite
interesting regarding tone quality.

The Conn 8D was modeled after the Horner model Kruspe. The Schmidt
features a piston F/Bb change valve, rather than a rotary valve. Many
people, especially with smaller hands, have found this awkward. Several
Schmidt owners have had a metal lever extension made to replace the
piston button in o
