    Mine has the same missing serial number and B & F too. I found on a page some where that they were built by "Lyon & Healy" so that's not it either. Very mysterious.

    This describes the construction of my Gautier as well. I have only one bit, which is exactly the dimensions you note. I assumed that since the "crossover" allowed for the appropriate reduction in tubing length when
    the horn was in B-flat that no other bit was necessary. Does your horn carry a serial number? Mine does not. Also, have you figured out what
    the "B & F" inscription on the middle valve casing means?

    Hi Guys, I have a Gautier as well. The B and F refers to Bohland and Fuchs, made in Czechslovakia. http://www.horn-u-copia.net/Reference/display.php

    I have a Gaulier Virtuoso tenor trombone in B Flat, with tuning slide extension pieces to put it in A. I'd be interested in selling it if anyone is interested. Slide is in good shape. Usual dents. W3WAG@ARRL.net
