How do I say this, it shouldn't mater what name is on it.
I am totally in love with this one and will spend and work
My ass off to get back in working order !
If You're dieing of curiosity, it's a stenceled horn marked
Whurlitzer. It's proububaly a Boland & Fuchs as it was marked
Checo Slovika (in two lines) on it's tiny Eb sized mouthpice
reciever. Otherwise, only the american engraving on the 20",
very wide throaded bell gives a clue. But as the Whurlitzer
records were given to the Smithsonian Institute, I can't be
shure. It dose have the "dent magnent" thin metal of older
check horns, but My friends are shure it isn't Cerveny as
it's furrels are all wrong and the rotor valves have the
first and forth entry and exit at a 45% angle. (which no
Cerveny ever had) although it dose have a huge and mag-
-nificent bell. I hope this is enough info.
It's quite embarissing to talk about actually.
I'm also worndering Who (in northern California) has the
Dent eraser or a generic version there of ?
Thank's for not posting "Ha ha" notes I already Know !!
