No tools, Dale. Thanks for the guess on the age, though.

Folks, I'm planning on adverting this horn for sale but my info is sketchy, at best.

It was sold to me as an 80-A, but on closer scrutiny, I have my doubts. I could put a lot of questions at rest if I just had a serial number to go on. I not only have no SN, most of the engraving on the bell is too light to read. Additionally, the horn appears to have been relacquered because the lacquer is about 100% to me, and the engraving has been buffed out.

Studying the photos on Conn Loyalist, this horn does not have the interlocking rods from the tuning mechanism between the first valve and the player side. But it does not have a brace on the master tuning slide, which my photos of ab 80-A do not have. Additionally, on the third-valve slide where a finger hook might be, is a slot for a marching-band lyre.

I'm going to sell it for just a couple hundred bucks, it's otherwise a decent horn, but it is not worth a lot of time and research.

I've included a couple of photos. More will not be forthcoming.

Any observations you may have, would be appreciated. Thanks.

Why are you posting this to me?

Mintzner's Blues and Funk books are good. I read that his first book was to be at the intermediate level but was not, so he published the Easy book which may not be, LOL. Anyway, depends on your chop level but you may get something out of them.

If you can't play a complete transcription, there are licks and phrases you can lift and work on themselves, yourself.

Somebody, snap it up real quick. There's no end to how many horns one doesn't need.

But be careful not to drink too much. I once did a watercolor after consuming several ounces of Jack Daniels and well...what a royal mess.

A little off-topic but om his theme - I once drank a bit much, recorded myself playing, with play-along orchestral background, a Mozart Horn concerto. Listened to the playback the next day. Didn't play the horn again for at least a year.

Boy, arranging music from a variety of original scorings is just great. Let us know when you post another video. I'd love to hear it/them.

Don't forget the alcohol.

I try to constantly work to learn something new on every new painting I do. Always finding someon else’s art to learn from as well . .

Then 'bout time to absorb some Jackson Pollock into your pastoral scenes.

Big Bub, those snow, rustic scenes are wonderful. Never stop.

Excellent.
For you to put that comment in perspective, I was instructor of Advanced Orchestration at Univ. of N. Texas, Composer/Arranger USAF Band, D.C., etc. So, again, nice job. I understand all the hard choices you had to make.

Do you have any other videos posted, perhaps under another name? I looked on YouTube and only found this one video.

Außerdem sehe ich, dass Dein YouTube-Video auf Deutsch ist. Lebst du in Deutschland? Ich habe einige Jahre in Deutschland in der Reinland-Pfalz gelebt. Meine Frau und Familie sind Deutsche.

Very nice. That take a lot of guts; pretty exposed. Who did the scoring? Expertly done.

That Prozak for Lovers is one o my favorite albums. Meant to be tongue-in-cheek but I love listening to it after a night of playing high-energy dance music to solitude.

At the Master level, I minored on Woodwinds at UNT and spent almost twenty years as a professional woodwind player. That list is way too large, LOL.

That was beautifully expressed.

Best of luck, Ivan!
