While we typically have leadpipes replaced on horns showing red rot, based on the vintage of this horn and how well it plays, we opted to keep the original pipe on the horn. An inspection of the inside of the pipe shows some corresponding dark areas in these locations. There is evidence of red rot showing on the outer side of the leadpipe. There is not any evidence of major repairs. It is missing a fair amount of the lacquer but still has a good overall appearance. It also has a first slide saddle, which appears original to the horn, which is very uncommon of horns of this era. It has all the features of the legendary early Elkhart Bachs – A side seam one piece Corporation bell matching serial numbers stamped on the valve spring barrels, and two-piece valve casings.
