Well there are two ways I can see...I am sure the removable bell is custom...so maybe the leadpipe was moved then. I played the horn today in chapel and it sounded great....The horn you showed me that day was a piggy I know for sure...With the mouthpiece...I took some duct tape and made the shank a size bigger so it would fit on a mirafone C4....it worked pretty well in fact....held the air anyway. The only things that I would do to this horn would be to take the bell in to get some little dings taken out and to straighten a small bit of the rim and to replace the springs on the rotor valves....very sluggish even after I oiled them.
