Hi Russ,
Yeah, my heart sank when i opened the case after the crash
I believe my signature will be different than the NY signature model. It will have a heavy Red-brass bell, standard shape tuning slide, palladium plating, non-recessed valves with fairly heavy springs ... to be honest, i just tell Felix what i want it to do and feel like, then leave it up to him - he knows how i play and what kind of music i play. I totally trust him to match the horn to my needs.
