Your CL valve isn't quick and quiet? It should be. Perhaps it needs a tune-up / adjustment? :idk:

How do the yellow bell play compared to the standard rose brass? I didnt know elkhart did produce yellow bells on the 88s.

Which year?

This is an Eastlake or later horn.

It's an Elkhart, just not the vintage Elkhart you're thinking of. Conn's are made in Elkhart for the past several years.

Pending sale fell through, so this baby is still out there looking for a good home!
