Hey there! I believe Bach shop guy is a former machine shop owner & metallurgist. Also a total precision nut. Thanks for the Magnum info. I'll get killed no more deader for another $500 bucks,so that don't matter. But since we're talkin about it,& I'm drooling (just love the big horn): Is the Mag a limited run model, how long will it be available,is there a waiting list,how delicate is that rimless bell. Also, the 3rd valve cylinder on your S-1, is a bit longer than I've ever seen. Is it a compensation move for pitch considerations? Just curious about the dynamics of it. But from everything I hear & read, yours are the next era of lengendary horns, a must own. Probably a few of us out here waiting to be tweaked, so blow your horn & tell us about them in plain guy speak. Thanks again, Franco
