My money is on PhotoShop. But it's a great pic. If that sucker were real, I don't think that glass as thin as that appears to be would be able to support the weight of the beer. Besides, if you look just under the leadpipe, there is a brace there. How would one attach a brass leadpipe and brace to a glass bell? I don't even think very many epoxy resins will do that.

Also, from the routing of that valve slide and the styling of the braces, I believe that horn is a Yamaha 641. If that's a 641, the bell stack should be taller, and in the picture it is disproportionate to the top bow.

My 2¢...
