I might try that, but the keys on this old Kohlert are a bit ... different than one finds on a modern horn. I can't imagine fusing it with a different horn.

One chap told me that the low blow hole on this bell was intended to be covered by the kneecap for a low b-flat, but he's a clarinet player so I don't believe him.

I think there is an action missing that should cover that hole (it is WAY down on the bell on this horn) but the bell on this Kohlert is shorter than you would find on a modern horn.

This oboe is a quite curious, the keys are a bit different from a modern horn, but it has a wonderful, dark tone and as far as I can tell, plays just fine at A440 throughout all the range.

It has a wonderful tone and personality that, to me, is just beautiful. I wish I still had all my chops to really give it a workout, but it's going to take a lot of practice for me to really get the most of it.
