It's a friends horn that he sent me a few photos of. The history I'm given is that it was used in a NYC HS Band in 1960. Parts of that horn look more modern than that, but some of it is really old school, like a Buescher stencil of the period.No photos of the bell engraving ?
I think you might have nailed it! Not sure about the double neck though. I'll have to ask if it has one.Dorfler & Jorka?
looks like oneDorfler & Jorka?
Except Keilwerth had the thumbscrew on the neck...while D&J has it on the receiver.looks like one
double neck? I don’t understand this.
The front tenon tightening button was also used by Keilwerth.
NYC Board of Ed actually contracted a few European manufacturers back in the day. I have seen the Board of Ed engraving on Schneklaars horns as well (although this as already noted is D&J). So there are probably still some of these floating around out there....It's a friends horn that he sent me a few photos of. The history I'm given is that it was used in a NYC HS Band in 1960.

Dörfler & Jörka it is.Dorfler & Jorka?
I had one myself a few years back.Dörfler & Jörka it is.
Attached is a pic of my horn from around 1950. Beautiful sound, but not the best to explore altissimo with. Will always keep it for studio/mellow sessions.
Yeah, that's it. That was the other peculiar thing, the thumb rest carved out for the octave key.Dörfler & Jörka it is.
