Are there any photographs of Mr. Jacobs playing the instrument, perhaps made during the recording session?
I once played a Besson F that was owned by Jay Rozen. Bevan speculated in his latest edition that perhaps this was the instrument Jacobs used, but I strongly doubt it because if true I think Jay would have mentioned it. As I recall, it was a compensator, but my memories of it are fuzzy in the extreme. I do remember that it played pretty well, however.
