I know that David Shifrin still plays on the Buffet R-13 that he had when
he played in Cleveland in 1972-75. I assume he had it before then - that
would be one of the pre 100,000 digit horns wouldn't it?

No - it is not blown out. But - weren't the issues regarding blow out
having to do with some horns and not all horns?
