I guess I missed it when you took delivery, or I've masked it from my memory for fear of the damage it could do.

Dent-basher? I see the hard case, but stuff happens. I know you also use a dent bag, even one from Glenn can't prevent all that stuff.

Ditto.

My understanding is that there is only one of these B&F copies in existence at the present time (please correct me if you know of other examples of this horn). It was owned by its co-designer, Walter Hilgers. It is now in the possession of a gentleman in Spain.

Walter did confirm that he could build another one of these 6/4 BBb's...after appropriate payment.

Hi Brunson, long time no see. Hope the dogs allow you the time to get back into playing again soon? It would be shame not give that Wilson a good workout once in a while.
