Re: Buffet R-13 custom-serviced by Hite?

I'd cut Dave Hite a little slack on horns though. He certainly measured the bejesus out of mouthpieces (he kept records of all the great players' mouthpieces he ran into over the years as well as the measurements of the mouthpieces he made for customers).

I was not aware of his Buffet "customization," but at that time I had a horn and was not looking for another. He probably executed more of a "hand selection" process since he lived in Florida (not a long drive from the pan handle to Buffet). Perhaps others have more direct experience with his horn work.
