Just a point of reference in the sports car world, for example Porsche Clubs in the US have folks competing in different type events. One set of events is focused on the performance of the car, that is, how fast you can drive it on a certain specified course. Another type of competition is based upon how well the car has been maintained as compared to its condition when it left the factory.
One has to do with tweaking the car to make it really perform well. The other is "historical." Some folks like doing one thing, some folks like doing an other. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Steve Freides Sent: Friday, April 14, 2006 1:05 PM To: 'The Horn List' Subject: RE: [Hornlist] leadpipes on 8D Debbie Wenger wrote: -snip- > And yes, part of my concern is to keep the historical value > of the horn. The sound is what matters, and historical value is for things that sit in a glass case somewhere. If you play the thing, make it to your liking limited by only your good judgement and your wallet. If your horn is of historical value, put it on the shelf and buy one to play! I realize I'm oversimplifying a bit but these two things - historical value and playing value - are really potentially in conflict. People don't commute in Model T's. Just my opinion. -S- _______________________________________________ post: [email protected] unsubscribe or set options at http://music2.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/bgross%40airmail.net _______________________________________________ post: [email protected] unsubscribe or set options at http://music2.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org
