Bobby Pirtle Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 I was able to score a prototype F Meehaphone (three piston) from Kanstul when the factory closed down. The Meehaphones were peculiar instruments and their pilots played them well beyond their capabilities!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
