RE: Fraising on old LeBlancs?

I looked in my 1961 LeBlanc catalog which describes the tone holes [prob. only some of them] of the LL and Noblet 40-45 models [specifically] as "integral-raised, flare-cut" with a cut-away drawing showing about the lower 1/4 as conically enlarged, what I consider "fraised-undercut". The Dynamic H and Classic models are said to have the same features, the Symphonies and [my] Dynamic 2 are not mentioned, I'll see if I dare say yes, perhaps Dee can say re: hers. My recollection of Rendall's discussion is that this technique was applied to the top-of-line, higher-priced "pro" horns which were "tuned" by skillful workers. Re: my Dyn 2, its very difficult to be sure wo: precise measuring, but believe yes, also prob. on the better '50's models. Interesting, Don
