Sorry I wasn't clear, but I meant that the buyer could pick up a nirscl valveset that is almost nearly identical or a Hirsbrunner valveset that already would have the CC lengths installed if needed. I am not endorsing the "cutting" of this horn merely stating that even though the price is far more than I would pay for a gamble or even to leave this horn in BBb, if he cuts it and has a great instrument after the converion, then this is almost a viable alternative to a new York copy from either Nirschl or Hirsbrunner. I know the bell dimensions are different, but that is also part of the gamble.
