I don't know if anyone else is into this sort of thing, but if so - have any of you been able to track down information on previous owners of your vintage horn? I have a Buescher straight soprano from the 1920's with the name "Rudy Rehrig" on the outside of the case. I was able to find a picture on the web of him playing clarinet with his Navy Band unit in Brooklyn in 1960, and in fact there are a couple of small Navy pins fastened on the inside of the case. I also found his obituary from 2005: http://articles.mcall.com/2005-10-16/news/3642828_1_costa-rica-richard-albright-wife. At one time he was a radio DJ in the Lehigh Valley in Pennsylvania and went by the handle "Rudy of the Valley" (I guess a takeoff on Rudy Vallee and Lily of the Valley).
