Re: Huttl
Is that a BBb horn? Looks like a lot of branches for an Eb, but that third valve length makes me wonder. Small bell too, but definitely a lower price than I was expecting.

Re: Huttl
This Huttl "Master Deluxe" is listed on horn-u-copia as key of F:
This one appears to have a longer small end of the bugle, running along the upper bow rather than behind the pistons, I'd guess because it's Eb.

Re: Huttl
The art style reminds me of Kim Possible?
But looking it up, they're pa was a music instrument person?
Not impossible then that there exists a connection, although i am too lazy to connect the dots. Their pa apparently was into harmonicas, petering out to pitch pipes as far as i went.
From the other end... brasshistory.net has this:
"Christian Kratt (1899-1982) was born in Trossingen, Germany and emigrated to New York in 1926 as a clerk. By 1934 he was a musical instrument importer living in Brooklyn and by 1940 was located in Union, NJ, running his own importing business. He lived there until his death. (census & immigration records)"
New Jersey is almost small enough to believe that two Kratt music companies are the same? Maybe the Kratt Brother was named after his grandpa?
That is definitely a boatload of speculation.
Anyway, my odometer just rolled over. Time for met call it a night.
Been pleased with my limited experience with Kratt instruments, though too lazy to dredge up much exceptional praise tonight.
