That’s a really solid price. Definitely in the category where you’d have room to tweak it a bit with some smart changes and still have money leftover compared to other 6/4 horns of similar quality

What would be some smart changes? I'm curious about what could be improved on the hirsbrunners

I believe reading somewhere about the “Pokorny mods” which I think was a smaller main tuning slide and 5th valve? I could be mistaken, but I’m pretty sure the main tuning slide was the big part.
