You know, everyone seems to be ignoring something: Don't you think that
Stanley Drucker had access to Hans Moennig and has access to the top
repair people in New York? I'm sure someone has brought their blown out
horn to a top-notch repairman. Anyone know Drucker well enuf to ask
him? I myself wasn't able to get up to Philly and leave my only pro
horn there for a week or two so it could be analyzed. However, I can't
believe that noone has done this.
