There are no dropouts on the masters and for three dropouts to occur on the 
French Horn at 42 foot distance from each other during the recording process 
is an amazing coincidence.  It would have to be the most precise bit of bad 
luck in the history of bad luck.  We've issued several sets of this wonderful 
sound and it has only ever met with lust filled passion for Mr Blechta.

We have just listened to this and all three of us agree that it sounds 
perfectly fine.  It is not looped, it just is.  Checkout the waveform and 
you'll see it isn't.

As a conclusion, there are no fixes that need to be done apart from note 25 
of the French Horn which is now cured.

Byeeee,
