I bought the horn from James Tinsley in 1977.
The Callet conversion is an alteration that makes the Bach third slide set-up into the old Besson configuration.
Nothing major occured, I personally like the feel of the ring at the bottom of the slide.
I owned a few pre-war Bessons, this horn plays like one.
