That is indeed the case. I believe mine was from 1999. I'm not one to hold grudges and of course Johannes is a great guy, so I'm always amenable to trying out his new creations. Of course, I'm more than happy with my own horn for the time being.

Jeremy,

That's the guy (I hope you chime in!).  Does that mean you had an older 
(1990's) Finke?  Johannes told me that they discovered the hard way that his 
old composite would break down under certain conditions, so in the early 2000s, 
when he found a more stable material, he retrofited any horn that needed to 
change (many of them for free).  Has anyone had a problem with the valves on a 
horn that is less than 10 years old?

Respectfully Submitted,

Scott Young

True -
In fact, he lived about 45 minutes from me when he was here in Richmond. He's the one that I bought my Finke from. Good guy!
You know who you are...

Cheers-
J

I know of at least two more people on this list that have played them (one of you was a Finke distributor) as their major "axe." My friend is really interested in a Brendan triple.
