Re: Pruefer barrel

Hi LeePal - Since no one has responded [so far], I'll try to get comments/advice started. Your pics are quite informative, my older Pr # 2601, being a "3/4 th Full Boehm" has the "Buffet-Selmer" style of the 4 trill keys,. I note that the S A model has [what appears to be] the Leblanc style "jump keys". I can see 3 explanations, 1. made by Leblanc and "stencilled" Pruefer, 2. made after L L's patent expired, about 1960 ?, 3. made earlier under license from Leb. RE: the barrel crack, yes its repairable, preferably by an experienced tech, but does the crack appear on the outside of the barrel? If it does not, I doubt you would have more than a minimal effect of possible leakage. Try both barrels when the cl is playable to ascertain this. Others, please comment. Don

Thanx, Mark, Don
