Klaus,
Have you tried the "Phil Parker cut"? Fletch himself was the one who pointed this out to me. on the back side of the horn, there are two branches that are involved. One branch has perfectly straight tubing on one side of a farrell, and the other branch has perfectly straight tubing on its side of the next farrell. The trick is to cut only the straight bits of tubing, and so it shortens the whole bell section. I may want to try that newer 981 leadpipe.
Now, I want to hear from you 5 valve Eb guys. What about those devlish fork fingerings?
