Paul had a very good posting a few months back regarding the differences in all the main different wraps of horns. I mention this because several times of late the Alexander 103 has been referred to as a copy of a Kruspe. This is plainly not correct as Alexander held the first patent for a double horn (around 1911 I think). The 103 is a large bore medium bell flare instrument and again is NOT a copy of the Kruspe-Horner model (which the Conn 8D most certainly IS). The 103 is also not a copy of the Kruspe-Wendler model which is the other common version of Kruspe wrap seen from the first half of the 20 century.
