Pretty great!
Years ago there was a picture of one of Tommy Johnson's axes, just run over accidentally by a fellow studio musician. Anyone still have that picture?

If the horn was flat, why not just shorten the main tuning slide?
Great work!

I have a french horn that was run over by a school bus (not mine, a contribution).
I was going to try to save the valves, but after looking at the bell, I decided it was perfect just as it is.
It now sits proudly by my fireplace. Even my wife likes it.
Oh yeah, good lookin' work Harv!!

Harv is great at pumping up the sousaphones! Harv can do everything including clutch replacement and fixing a mean smoked chicken .
Good work!
