What is so hard to understand about this concept? someone has to play test the factory horns to make sure there are no defects...

I would rather say, you test-toot every horn, just checking if anything was leak, the slides & valves assembled right, no bugs inside the tube. Playing a horn means more than few minutes, half hour to one hour. Multiply that by 4.000 (1 year), means between 2.000 to 4.000 hours working time or between 50 to 100 weeks at 40 working hours every year, continuous playing. Even playing every horn for just ten minutes, would result in 40.000 minutes equal to roughly 666 hours or 15 1/2 weeks continuous playing, to test play 4.000 horns for ten minutes each. Quite boring ? Do you know, horns getting better, if played a few times before being sold ? Really played !! Several hours !! Sounds like mere nonsense, right, but it is the truth. I proved it many times, and I still prove it. ========================================================== -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, July 23, 2003 3:01 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Hornlist] error I think it says less for the quality and more for the qualities of a Holton horn.I have played about 4000 Holton horns. Actually, that should have read 40,000. I forgot to multiply by 10 years.
