14" black and brass brought back to life

Post by Steve Levi »

Just a quick plug for talking machine forum's John Duffy (Ripduff). Emailed. picture of horn to Ripduff, he priced for roll, straighten and shipment back to me. Thanks to Rod Pickett for hand off of horn at Stanton's auction. His MAGIC is amazing and very affordable! I will try and post before and after. Thanks again John and Rod!

What a great resource we have in John. Horns that used to be "beyond hope" have value again. :)
