Re: Kohlert Full Bohem in need of suggestions

Me too, Dave, I go on a "dark" search often, sometimes with a bit of success. Moeboy, my Full Boehm "stable" is now limited to 1932 Selmer R I, but I have a V Kohlert 17/6, #295,2xx, Made in CZ [I date it to "between the wars", 1920-35], yours appears to be earlier by # and showing L P plus Graslitz Bohemia, perhaps1910-20. As D S said, I had no trouble finding a suitable barrel [66 mm] with a close "bore-match" and compatible mp. As to using it in symp work, you may need a shorter barrel as pitch levels may have risen from 435 to 440 +, which might produce some intonation problems with newer woodwinds. Much luck, Don

Thanx, Mark, Don
