A Cabbage Patch: Bill F is having a problem >Hello. I am having a problem with the valves of my new >Holton 281. They are stiff when I get the horn out of the >case to play the valves are stiff and slow.
Jim suggested I agree with getting a good horn person to go through the valves ... *************** I can remember when Bob Osmun was a tall, skinny fellow, and even then, he sometimes got stuck going through my valves, so I had to push him really hard to get him out. I think you will have better results if you try to clean out your valves with an object which is smaller, more flexible, and less noisy than a good horn person. Gotta go, Cabbage ------------------------------- With a little research you may find some freelancing Olympic Gymnasts that may do the work for a low price. Make sure you ask them what kind of rosin they use with their hands, however. Later..... Scott H.
