The set of nine instruments appear to be unique in the musical world, partly because they have an unusual valve technology, because they appear to be very early in the evolution of valved brass instruments, and the collection is quite large and complete.<\/p>\n<p>This web site will share emerging information about the maker, the instruments, their unique characteristics including the \"butterfly\" valve technology, about how these instruments have came to be found in Finland. These instruments have been an intensely interesting research subject for me since 2005.<\/p>\n<p>My paper about these instruments was published for an exhibit by the Kuopio Regional Historical Museum.
