The rebuild story came from Chris, who told me Wayne worked over the valves, oh, about 3 or 4 years ago. A very nice job.
Try using some heavy grease on the Besson valves to see if the horn plays flat because of leaky valves. I assume that you've already done a thorough leak test...
How much did you stretch the metal while you were working out the dents in the large branches? Too much can cause the pitch to drop slightly...
