Hey Dave,
You did NOT make a "flimsy connection". 
The first horn I bought after retiring and 
moving to San Antonio was a Nirschl 5/4. 
This was in 1994 and Orpheus had a couple 
... these horns were larger than those Custom 
offers today. (Lee Hipp was there and will 
back me up.) In appearance they were closer 
to the older B&M CCs.  Jim Gavigan even had a 
photo of Walter with this horn.
Best wishes,
             T.
