Bach 72 question

I have a Bach 72 #157418, ml bore. When my Mom bought this horn for me in 1979 they made reference to the star on the bell but I don't remember it's significance, was it a lightweight bell? any one know? It's a small star right below Elkhart, IND. USA

Re: Bach 72 question

The Star stands for lightweight. No doubts. Why would that matter to you anyway if you have the horn for such a long period? Normally people notice such things and take attention when they are pon safari for a particular type of instrument...

Re: Bach 72 question

Well I just got back into playing the horn after about a 12 year break (job, kids, divorce) I have been playing for about six months now and have to send it in for a sticky 2nd valve problem and was looking for a second horn just for kicks. Everyone I talked to kept saying, "why, you have one of the best ever made". That made me take a second look and gave me a new appreciation of the horn I have. I was admiring it and remembered the star, so there you have it.

Re: Bach 72 question

Yep, be assured have an excellent horn. The 72* Bachs are hard to beat.
