IU Octet Redux

[Dan Schultz]

This picture has been posted before but the horns weren't identified. L B Oliver was here last evening and recalled what the horns are. I questioned the difference in the lengths of the detachable bells on the three Kings but L B explained that the BBb variant seemed to have a shorter stature than the CC versions. If anyone can furnish more conclusive information... let me know.

The King BBb that Jim Linn is supposedly playing looks very different than any other that I've seen. Does anyone know the model?

I quizzed L B pretty hard about that one. I felt sure at best it was a very distant cousin to the other Kings.... maybe some shared parts but the bugle sure looks different. I might have expected the short stature if the horn was a CC and the other two were BBb.

Dan, if you can, please send LB my contact information. He may not remember me, but I sure do remember meeting him.
