The development of each model of Finke horns was based on the desire to address a particular style and to provide the player with an instrument that frees the player from the common limitations of that style.
A particular feature of the Finke horns is the advanced composite valve construction, using a stainless steel spindle and a high-tech plastic rotor for light weight and exceptionally free and smooth movement.

But Nikki Finke's LA Weekly article on Hollywood-style dealmaking supposedly poisoning the art world is such a raw-yet-feeble Ovitz takedown attempt, I can't see why it even exists.
Rather than even update the story or provide any la plus ca change context, it reads like Finke handed in an old floppy disk she found while cleaning out a storage unit in the Valley, and her editors published whatever killed story or chapter of an abandoned book happened to be on it.
Lest you think the cluelessness is confined to alt-freebies on the West Coast, Artforum linked to Finke's story with a headline and a blurb so inaccurate ["For Hollywood Moguls, Collecting Is Increasingly De Rigueur"] it's obvious they didn't even read the piece.

 Reporter Finke's suit vs. Disney proceeds   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-11)
The state appeals court in Los Angeles ruled Monday that Nikki Finke, a New York Post reporter who lost her job after writing articles about the fight over merchandising rights to the honey-loving bear, could pursue some of the charges against Disney, which had appealed a lower court ruling.
Disney prevailed, however, on one major issue, when the panel of three judges ruled there was no evidence to show an "unholy alliance" between Disney and News Corp. Ltd., owner of the Post, that would constitute an illegal business practice.
Though Finke was not the only journalist to report on the sanctions -- or even the first -- the lawsuit claims that her stories enraged Disney's top executives, including chief executive and chairman Michael Eisner.
