If not its interesting saw that episode yesterday.
I had not seen that video. I scrolled through it, and yep, that’s generally how they’re made. That’s from the C.G. Conn factory, which these days is in Eastlake, Ohio. I played on a Conn 8D from 1989 until last year, when I bought my new Horn (Patterson Horn Works, Las Cruces, NM).

I wanted to point out that you said “doodee” again, but it kept autocorrecting me to “doodle,” so nevermind.

Both of my horns are 4-valve F/Bb Horns. The thumb valve alternates between two different voicings of the Horn.

It's fundamentally a screwed up instrument that should only be taken up by the insane.

Why does the GMC Syclone have zero towing capacity?

If we're talking modern SVE Syclone, I'd guess it's that the springs and struts are designed for speed, and not for saddling extra weight (by bed latch or tow hook). So, given that they're putting on second-place-is-first-loser speed parts, they're not going to hazard a tow rating out of an abundance of caution.

Perhaps consider a Callaway Canyon instead.

I meant to say Typhoon (the one from the early 90's) but I feel you still came through with your answer.
