Congratulations--I bet the old horn is more open without that 5th valve in the leadpipe. Nice work!

Re: 4 Valve 6/4 Contrabasses?
I've heard reference to a 2164 being a 4 valved version of the 2165 and the 2154 being the same to the 2155. I seem to recall this being listed on their old website from years past. They would also describe the ability of the 2165 to play in BBb with option slides. I don't think any of this information is on their current website.Bob Kolada wrote:Was there is there a mw 2164?

Fascinating about the York tuning slide. Can't wait to see future installments of the mods you will do!
