New Old Horn (Horn dorn inside)

Post by Heliconer »

Just picked up a very cool old horn.

1914 BBb Holton Del Negro

It needs a valve job, and I will have to split the bottom bow off to take care of the mounds of damage, along with patching a long split in the leadpipe.

Very cool! That is a very unique valve section, I must say.

Congratulations!

And it sounds like it is in excellent hands!

All i know about them is reading through some tubenet threads a year ago. Someone in the Seattle area found one of these in the trash? Gonna have to look back and see if i can find the thread...
Thanks for playing!

Thanks for adding that picture bisontuba, I was picturing it as a much smaller horn. Very cool!
