Also the only Coleman/Missenharter in the collection?

Strange, i always refer to them as Missenharter, and i don't know why.

Anyway, hurray for old Philadelphia makers!

hmm...
After I install the 6th rotor on to my Melton (Meinl-Weston) kaiser bariton, I guess I could put together an alternate alto horn bell section to insert into that 6th rotor circuit. :tuba:

Just think of the special musical effects that I could produce on Heldenleben, Pictures, Don Quixote, Planets, et al...
...a sure-fire way of being hired back, right? :laugh:
