AboutKenton Scott Expertise Provide information on antique, obscure and out of production BRASS instruments. Please don't ask for evaluations, I'll not provide them on this site.
Experience I perform in several historical bands, have informally researched the area, repair brass instruments, and operate a Forum dedicated to the topic at http://horn-u-copia.net
Emil Kopp, the name who is engraved in the mouthpiece, is my great-great-grandfather and did in fact play for the Chicago symphony. I would be interested in learning more about the instrument and communicating with the person who asked the question. However, I could not find the questioners name or email address anywhere. Is it possible that you could connect me with the questioners name and email address?
Thanks,
Hannah Wirtshafter
Answer Hannah, I'm not familiar enough with the workings of Ask the Experts to know whether there is a way to make contact with the questioner or not. I do not have that information.
It would be frustrating as close as you are to not to be able to make that connection, but I don't have the information you seek nor know of a way for you to obtain it. You could try the administrators of Ask the Experts, but I suspect they may not be able to help either.
