Yeah, I don't think the results would be good. But it would be interesting. Most likely kind of like a car crash isn't good but everyone has to slow down to gawk.bloke wrote: ↑Mon Mar 13, 2023 11:31 amThe strategy of sticking a swollen bottom bow and giant bell onto a pt6 - reusing the rest of it, and morphing it into a 6/4 instrument- didn't do any favors for the intonation of that set up.cktuba wrote: ↑Mon Mar 13, 2023 11:03 am I think the bad intonation on the older Alex horns was really magnified by the huge friggin' lead pipe and the fact (I beleve I remember reading somewhere) that the 163 CC was just a cut down 163 BBb. I think the larger valve section would probably throw off the intonation on a 188. But it would be interesting to see what the result would be.
The 291 has pretty solid intonation. The Tuono, PT-6, Mr. P and 291 would be the horns I'd look at if I were looking to make a move. Of course I may skip straight to a Rudy 5/4... but no money, no changing. If there was a Kalison rotary that played like my DS.. I would be very interested. But I've never heard anything good about those. There was a reason they moved to pistons on their CC horns.
