Does the horn have a 9 1/2" or 10" bell?

That horn has a 10" bell!

It used to be mine :pant:

I wish I had the funds to take it off your hands Sam!

The original designed trapped water like crazy.

I asked John to open wrap it but he didn't have the parts to make a Minick style wrap. So John got the idea to make the German/Reynolds style wrap.

The rest is history!

I do wish I could take it off your hands. I still have some sentimental value in that horn haha. Maybe one day when I'm rich!
