Hi yall, Im new around here so be gentle please. I thought some of you (Shmuelyosef in particular--Shalom aleichem) might want to hear about by DJH modified Bari. I got it last year, pretty banged up and needing a ton of work, but I could see that it was a Keilwierth stencil so thought it might be worth the trouble to fix up. Boy was I right on this gamble! After a lot of work,, its up and running and its a smokin horn! It definitely smokes my friends YBS-62, which is more even and sounds great, but doesnt have nearly the cajones that this horn does. I have a custom Wagner Bari mouthpiece set up by my dear departed friend JVW that is a perfect match. Anyone else driving one of these German Tanks? Serial #88,525. My one dissapointment wiht thiis horn is that while it has a retro naked lady Conn Art Decco design on the bell, the lady is missing in her pentagonal window. Now Im not the vain type to have horns eleborately engraved, but this is really bothering me. Since the horn has turned out to be such a total mofo, I think this horn deserves a lady in there!!! Who should I put there? Any suggestions?? Hillary? Marilyn? Princess Di? Billie Holiday!!!! Thats IT!! Anyone else have a DJH mod horn w/ Conn bell engraving sans lady? Anyone know someone around NYC who could engrave a goddess in there for me? Thanks!!! LNS
