Made a run over to Lee Stofer's place in Camanche,IA and got me a nice, refurbished
Alexander 163 BBb. That is one sweet horn. (Pic attached) :D
It has that "dark, centered german sound"... some on this forum have described
and i love it.

Lee is the perfect host in his beautiful, bright, cheerful, well organized shop.
He gave me the cooks tour, including buffing room, dipping tanks, cleaning
room.. I have never seen so many parts and 'waiting' restoration units as he has
in the huge second floor above the shop.

Lee was most helpfull and generous, sharing his many years experience as a tubist
and restorer. I heartily recommend Lee to one and all.
