Not exactly the plan I had in mind when I sold it. That paint is in fantastic shape and quite rare with that color these days. Take good care of it, please.
Hey random question, are you aware of what factors determine which bells sound when quilling a horn? For context, I’ve heard a 90’s holden double tag K5LA sound only the 4a and 5 when being quilled, which sounded amazing but I’ve found that most K5LA’s sound the lower pitched bells first. Thanks in advance.
Just depends on preload per bell and which one sounds the easiest on the least amount of air. Normally you’ll get the 124a with the 2 sounding first. I’ve had plenty of K5s where all sound while metering the valve. Wear, preload, air pressure, temperature, humidity all play a factor.
Beautiful near D# Minor on this one it ain't no Holden K5H but that's okay lol; The 20-30K serial K5Hs are majorly underrated to a degree. I personally prefer the machining of some of the earlier pre 40K Roundtag K5Hs over the Widefonts. But Widefonts are very hard to beat. P.S I do remember that this is your 40K 5H that you had the 4 bell shimmed on and Mr Muha did a very nice job on it that's for sure
@@AirchimeLTDproductions174 any K5H/L sounds incredible before the 30ish K era (late 2002/2003). I have a wide font BCOL K5L that I bring out on occasion, but yeah this one is fantastic.
Holy fujesus that sounds beautiful! Who knew fresh internals could make a squaretag go from musical to musically sonic lol. Man that thing is fresh sounding wow!
@@davidharlow8614 Not sure who told you that, but you are incorrect sir. A big bore 5 bell plays the exact same hz as a small bore 5. The reason Airchime got away from big bore 5 production was they were also making small bore 5H bells for Africa and wanted to stream line production. Instead of producing two different styles of the same bell, They changed production to all small bore 5s which occurred in late 1984. I believe 5H bells have a pretty decent bore inside the bell where regular 5s do not.
Man I gotta get back down to Nelsonville. Haven’t been since 2021. You got your amazing collection doing what it was made for! Can’t wait for an M5 to be put on as that is a bucket list horn to hear in person.
I have a question, and I’m not sure if you’ll do it. But can you demonstrate the single individual toned horns of your train horns? Like the different toned horns like the 4A, 1L or P01235s 0 horn? Those kind of horns?
