Another question for you, Larry

My Calicchio flugel has bottom mounted valve springs yet the very popular Kanstul Signature 1525 has top mounted springs. Both horns are widely used by pros so I wonder, what's the difference between top mounted and bottom mounted valve springs??

By the way, my Calicchio flugel is a great sounding horn!! My only regret is not getting one with a copper bell. Maybe once John starts making flugels he take mine as a trade-in for a copper-bell model :wink:

Thanks---<Rick
