Hello Klaus!
Greetings form Germany to Danmark!
I learnt from your mails, that - amongst others - you have a gold plated Conn K 40.
I have the counterpart in EEb, 4 valves and all over gold plated as well (outside satin gold over silver plating, inside bell shiny high gloss gold). It was made in 1924 and has the number 59 on the bell and main branch connection collars.
Do you know some details about the background of gold plated Conn sousas, how rare they are, what historical importance one might guess, what sound influence the double plating (gold over silver) may cause etc. etc.?

Any infos would be highly appreciated ( as well as all your contributions to the firom were read with pleasure).

Best regards, Volker

PS. Have also a York Master, but just a 3 valver.
