How well would a good valvectomy do for you? I have bought several
Reynolds Contempora single F horns on eBay (the older ones, made in
Cleveland, ser.# below 60,000), for $1-$50, with a plan to make a hand
horn and a new 5 valve set for my King Bb. These are such good,
professional quality F horns, I always end up giving them to young
students. I also make it a point to learn all my parts on the one I
keep. It does amazing things for improving accuracy.
However, this horn is constructed with two main tuning slides. The way
the horn is wrapped, nearly five feet of cylindrical tubing could be
removed by connecting the first branch directly to the third valve.
Reusing the removed hardware, it should be possible to shorten the horn
to C alto and make a crook set using stock 0.468" tubing. I suppose
this could be done without removing the rotors permanently to keep the
single F capability intact.
