Actually the horn you used was my "big" Alex. The horn I had there was the Alex I am talking about. All I know about the horn you were using is that I traded a Conn 8d for it around 1962 and the lady who owned the horn had it for more than twenty years and she got it from her teacher who got if from Bill Stalanio...sorry about spelling. So that horn might be pre world war two, but I have no idea. It is an awsome horn Milton Milton Kicklighter 4th Horn Buffalo Philharmonic Retired
