The York-Conn kept right up with the (did I say very loud?) pipe organ, and with that classic, gorgeous York sound. My friend is lucky to have bought that "accessory" for his 52J for only $600.
I bet it will sound even better when the body-dogleg is tight-fitting to the valve section. Electrician's tape on a gap that big has got to kill some of the sound.

Instead of the AGR, you could patent the BTG (Bloke Taped Gap). tm :P
