I have seen "Sansone Model" stamped on Alexanders and Kruspes, I think they had to pay to copy Sansone's 5-valve design. Those are 2 I know of, were there other builders making them? Carl Geyer is pretty well known as America's great builder/designer, but for awhile he was on Sansone's payroll cranking out 5 valve Bb horns. Funny how Sansone is left out of these conversations about Bb horns. LLBrown, Laredo "Public sentiment is everything.
