Hi all,
I'm looking at getting an old re-lac NWII alto from my tech. However, the horn doesn't have the original neck. The one he has for it looks more like a Buescher neck to me.
Now my tech is a straight up guy and has been up front about all of this. He has also said one of the guys who works with him had brought a Conn neck in (either a NWII or 6M i think), and he said that it was a much better match for the horn.
So the question is this; how likely is it that i could find an old NWII neck to match to this horn and how much would be a good price???
I've looked into the Gloger prices, and that is an option, but as I'm on a bit of a budget (saving up to upgrade my Bari), I thought it might be worth seeing if anyone knows if these things come up for sale very often.
Also, does anyone know if other Conn necks (e.g. 6M, with the right octave key etc) would work well with this horn with regards to intonation etc??
Many Thanks
Jon
