As you are a victim of your horn, you must be a victimized retired horn player, even you did not retire because of that ?????? I have educated my horns to follow my orders (with exceptions from the rule) & eventually go to the office & ask in my name for the pay check ! Unfortunately I do not play for money any more since I retired from the orchestra. I do not want to steal the gigs from my much younger colleagues ......
