Antique Musical Instruments/Previous Question

Question
Hi,
I was browsing the net looking for information about my family when I ran into this question:

http://en.allexperts.com/q/Antique-Musical-Instruments-2370/2008/8/Lyon-Healy-In...

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.

Expertise

Please note: My area is BRASS instruments, not other wind, string or percussion instruments. I will provide information on antique, obscure and out of production BRASS instruments. 1) Please don't ask for evaluations, I'll not provide them on this site. 2) I am often asked very similar questions, so I'd invite you to first check on Horn-u-Copia.net. Much of the information I have garnered about this topic, I have posted on this WEB 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
