Dan:

Also be aware that in the not distant future the 2341 will probably be available (standard) with a fully removeable valve section & leadpipe. I saw the prototype last month.

While this don't mean much in terms of the horn's playing characteristics, it might be handy if you plan to get chem cleaning every now & then. All that really needs cleaned in this fashion is the stuff from the leadpipe to the 1st branch. Which would you rather have tossed around in the shop: A 20-some pound horn or a "birdcage" w/valves?

Something to think about!

OTOH, perhaps it is not intended to be taken apart for routine cleanings in this fashion. I dunno. Maybe call UMI & see what they think?
