This horn is now owned by Claude Lumley.
When Doug Hall and Laura visited George in 2012, George and Martha were living and working out of the new shop in West Point, Virginia. Doug asked George whose horn most needed to be finished, and George said David Dickerson had already been waiting five years. So they got to work.
Dickerson’s horn includes a number of George’s special features, including the removable leadpipe system, cylindrical valves with D ports, and stainless-steel articulated levers. David enjoyed the horn very much, but later had a family emergency and needed to sell it. Ron Beitel bought it first, and it eventually passed to Claude Lumley.
