Seeing the other horns it is hard for me to tell what's right and what's not...hmmm..What really amazes me and makes me think twice is that the great majority don't seem to feel the veneer pattern oddities are a great concern, I am finding that the seams are more a concern.

Note that Marty's horn, shown on his website,?is split at the bell. Be patient a good horn will come your way. They are not rare. -----Original Message----- From: john robles To: phono-l at oldcrank.org Sent: Wed, 11 Jul 2007 12:00 pm Subject: [Phono-L] FInal Determination re Oak Horn Hi All Here is a link to two photos. Horn A is mine, Horn B is on sale by Marty Roenigk. Not the difference - his has staves without the patched in areas that are evident on mine. SO I take it that those long triangular areas on mine (horn A) ARE repairs, correct??? http://s197.photobucket.com/albums/aa39/john9ten/Oak%20Horn/ Thanks!!!
