Thank you so much for that info! All of this makes sense and is kind of what I suspected. In fact, I did find one site which dates it to the early 90's so that would also fall in line with what you are saying.

Don't worry, I am not dismissing the horn at all! It is actually just a couple notes/keys that are rather stuffy (the low C and D). I am actually testing it out using a Vandoren BD5 mouthpiece and Vandoren reeds. I'm going to keep testing different combinations as just going from strength 3 to 2.5 made a huge difference in playability for me!
