Perhaps so, it may end up with a different sound. By that theory, it is a different horn with the short shank than it is with the long shank. And if I get your point, we are speaking of tonal characteristics, not the tuning. But on the other hand, of the "TWO" horns I already now have, neither plays in tune with the group I am in. So the bottom line is, it won't get played. I am not modifiying anything the this nice CONN specimen, I want a insertable shank that plays in modern pitch. Thanks.
