Lake City 415 Flugabone Project

Hi Mike,
Thanks for the detailed reply. Your horn's a beauty and when I looked at the kicker, I wondered how you'd tune the open horn. I recently got a used King flugabone and it's a mile sharp on a couple notes; I'm going to have to find a solution and it will probably be similar to yours but with an option for getting the pitch to A 440. I found this online and it might be of use to you: https://www.jontalkstrumpet.com/pitchfinders

I'm going to see a Seattle repair guy who has installed many kickers on trumpets, etc. and we'll see what he comes up with. Good luck with the horn and I'll be curious as to how you deal with the tuning issue.

Best,
Curt
