OK. Good to be back (please....no....aw geez, a standing O...blush)
I was away getting a stem cell reimplantation to correct my
frontal lobotomy.
Or is it a bottle infrontofme?

Someone elsewhere posed a question and it kinda got me wundrin....

Any major difference between the horns of Fritz "Big daddy" Wurlitzer
and sonny boy Herbie?? Esp. in the reform Boehms.

Gosh n golly boyz n girlz.... I dunna know the answer, Captain. (Cross between Buffalo Bob Smith on Howdy Doody and Scottie on Star Drek)

Maybe FW instruments have a wider bore than HW - I remember reading that HW reduced the bore on his instruments in the late 60s.

Trawl the Archives for a bunch of posts by Hans de Nijs, who collects Fritz Wurlitzer instruments.
