Newbie to the forum so please forgive decorum lapses. I bought my 1948 Holton 241 tenor in 1981 and always sort of felt like it was an orphan horn so am very glad to see the enthusiasm for it on this forum. I have probably played it less than 500 hours in the years since, but want to really focus on it now. I tried to get one tech interested and he advised (sight unseen) buying a different horn...but honestly I am a little bit attached intrigued as to what this thing would sound like really put into good order. Two questions:
1) Can someone recommend a loving tech in the Detroit area, so I can avoid the perils of shipping?
2) The original literature talks about metal resonator backings to the pads...is that a standard thing, or will I need to wrestle with a tech to get those reinstalled on a rework?
