I think you've got it, Dale! The horns have a nice sound already, and cutting it would give you a chance to address some of the problems with the structural integrity. (And everything else that we complain about here.) Like you said, it would be a safe experiment, and one that could only benefit tubists, and, I dare say, all of mankind in the long run. Either we end up with a fine CC instrument, or at the very least we have disposed of a St. Pete! No harm done there. Any takers?
