I have a James Johnson interchangeable set that you might like to see. It has the most gorgeous horn scales I have ever seen.

That is a pretty outstanding set with pretty outstanding scales. The color changes are sweet.

That type of horn is my favorite, and very difficult to find. Did those come from the Morphy's group?

Worked on a J. Johnson pair. Seemed to be quite a good maker.
