Notice something different about this horn?

I've had the opportunity to play a Balanced model, with a 23A bore. Talk about a lazer beam! :!: The sound is tight (with that bore) and way out front. I'm told Louis liked this model because it was easy to play with the microphones he used to record.

Did you notice the leadpipe? It's marked K Modified. What exactly is the K Modified, is it the leadpipe or what? I've never seen a Balanced model with that on the pipe.

Who can tell me about the K Modified and how it differs from the other Selmer Paris models?
