Andy's got the story right. It's a copy of my 4/4 CC Yorkie. We had a havey bell made in addition to the regular one. The horn is super in all respects.
We didn't have a fifth put on it because we wanted an exact replica.
In the end, Hirsburnner used a slightly smaller bore to accomodate the valves he already had on hand, but I don't recall just what the measurements were.
Otherwise it's a super replica of my horn: plays great and has that great Hirsbrunner workmanship.
As I recall, Jim paid Hirsbrunner some $20,000 for each of the two copies we made.
