I don't have that edition though, so I'm not even sure where I'd get a back 
issue - unless it's available online as an IHS member?

In other news, I took several photos online of the Clebsch strap - and took 
about 3 feet of velcro. I modeled a few velcro straps almost identical to the 
Clebsch and it seems to help. I'm sure with a few more modifications I could 
get it right. 

It seems to help immensely, but it's not perfect yet. I do know I've played 
about 2 hours on the horn today with that strap and didn't have much discomfort 
in my hand compared to yesterday.

So, thanks to everyone for the ideas! 

I also like the shelf idea someone else posted, and if there was a little more 
plumbing my palm could almost rest around the bottom of the two exit pipes from 
the change valve. Judging by the lacquer wear, it's been done quite a bit 
before. 

With all the leather working people around here (boots and saddles are common 
items here), I could also just get something made for it.

The sound is the most important thing in a horn, so somehow I want to make this 
work.

Robert Osmun recently mentioned Michelle Stebleton’s article in The Horn Call 
about the modification she made to here Schmidt wrap horn. A quick look at my 
past issue collection found the article in the February 1997 issue, Vol. XXVII, 
No.2, page 69. It is quite explicit, with five photos. The work was done by 
Karl 
Hill.
