No, it's NOT a conversion. Dick took a Bach bell, attached the NEWEST version of the Axial flow valves (skeletonized, teflon plated aluminum), and assembled the slide from parts (tubes, braces, ferrules, etc.) he has. So I would say it is an Ackright. Wen I picked up the horn, first thing I did (with a strange mouthpiece) was blow a low B. The sucker LEAPED out of the horn. The low noted are incredible! This is, without a doubt, the finest bass bone I'VE ever played.
