paulwl,
Thanks for setting me straight on the model number; you're probably right about it being a 446N. It's been awhile since I looked at the engraving, but your description is accurate.
With so many other horns that I use on a gig (sop., tenor, bari sax, flute, harmonicas, whistles), I try to keep only one of any instrument, so I use it for anything that comes up. I purchased this horn from a retired music professor, and he had intonation inserts glued into the finger tone holes, so the horn's intonation is very good. However, I never play legit music such as orchestra or small chamber, so maybe the intonation is not as good as I think it is.
I use a Greg Smith (Kaspar style) Chicago mp with V12's, and Rovner lig. As far as barrels, I also use a click barrel at times. This combination gives me a good combination of focused tone and ability to bend notes, which seems to be a natural occurence of things I do.
