Thank you; for me, being trained in the Maurice André way of playing #4 valve with the left index finger, this horn is not suitable, lacking the mechanism to operate # 4 this way. It was difficult enough with my Scherzer G (lovely horn, loved playing it until I inherited a Selmer G from Maurice André)...

Still looking for a good new home...

I can confirm that that iceberg is huge, and in pristine condition. Steve Smith has been hoarding treasures for years... now it is for you all to say "Open Sesame" and get at the treasure...
