More pictures for those interested, and for those who can tell me more about the age



I think this one should actually work and be more than one image

Taking a break while my other driver is finishing up the last leg of our road trip, so here’s the new(to me) horn. Absolutely love how the horn sounds, and the 2nd valve slide trigger is awesome.

From what I’ve played so far I couldn’t ask for much better ...

Nice! Don’t use the img tag for links to imgur albums, only to files/individual pics. Here is the album link (even though it is only one photo):

Welcome to the Rudi club!


Is it really only one? I’ll try to fix that in a minute, I tried to upload like five pictures ...

What did you find?

— Sincerely, a Rudi 5/4 CC owner


I went to check out that Rudi in Illinois. I know it’s classified as a 4/4 but it was rather big and it definitely sounds like it. So I’m now the happy owner of a Rudi! Trying to figure out how to post pics on here so I’ll show it ...

Found!

Not sure if you've seen this thread already or not but there's a Rudy for sale in Chicago:

This one is technically a 4/4 but since Rudy's sizing skews on the large side, I'd consider it closer to most makers' definition of 5/4.

I personally know ...

Looking for PT-6 or other used 5/4 horn

Budget 8-9k

Located in Oklahoma, but I’m willing to drive as needed to make a deal. Please send me any leads you have!
