| Re: What's different about k-modified?
When I was in college I studied with Frank Kaderabek my last two years, and he played practically all selmer horns. He told me that they would assemble the horn (sans leadpipe) in France and then have the leadpipe fitted in the states by a guy named Keith (hence K-modified) to avoid some type of trade tariff imposed on completed products. This could be wrong but it's what he told me. I never heard the thing about Bach mouthpieces but who knows. I have a Lightweight K-modified from '64 or '65. Great horns; focused, relatively free blowing for a small horn, and amazing valves!
Hope this helps.
