Anyone else have pictures of this day? PM me or e-mail me if you don't want to post the pics up here.

Anybody know what that spatula looking thing is near the thumb-ring over the fifth valve? It looks like some sort of protector for the fifth valve mechanism or maybe it could be a place to rest one's thumb. I wonder...

It also looks to me like the bell is a tad shorter from the bottom bow than my Yorkbrunner. That could just be an optical illusion, but it looks that way in all the photos.

FWIW......The YCB-826S was copied from the shorter of the 2 Yorks just as the Nirschl was. The Yorkbrunner however was copied from the taller version.

That explains it! Thanks.

Now I think I need one, as I think I am getting shorter as I age.
