this is all from memory - my books are in another state (or rather, i am). Ron Dethlefson has researched the long horns, and lists which diamond discs were recorded using them. i'm almost certain that the horns were assembled after the DD era began, and thus also after the 2-minute wax era. Anyone have Ron's books handy to confirm?
