Subj: [kl] Bottom ring use
Date: Tue, 21 Jul 1998 23:41:35 -0400

A tremolo: low G to B!!! I retract all the nasty things I said
about the bottom ring. Youse guys is smarter than me. By the way,
using the bottom ring for altissimo D# just doesn't work on some horns.
God knows why.

I'm glad to hear that even sleazy old Stadler had holes in his bell.
Maybe we can use his historical precedent to goad the French makers into
drilling a few bell holes.
