Re: [CBQ] GP-7 and SD-7 Air Horns

[Bryan Howell <tubaman21@yahoo.com>]

In terms of the horn, I'm pretty sure the Q used the Leslie A-200 on their road 
units up through the GP20s/SD24s based on photographs that I have seen.  After 
that, I think they went with the Leslie S3-L starting with the GP30s.  Any 
corrections welcome.
