Hello Michael. The "detachable bell has not a will of its own", you must get a feeling how to attach the bell to the horn, how to find "the bite" of the screw.
Screw backwards until it clicks, then screw, but carefully. Yeah, these thin screws ...... They cost just a fraction of my screws, which are big & trapezoid, but just fitting for my own horns, sorry. All improvements are a cost factor. Michael, again, it is not the hard ware (instrument), but the soft ware (our brain). Even waking up an already dead horse: Yamaha & other factories use ultrasonic cleaning before lacquering the horns. How should "factory dust" accumulate inside an already cleaned horn after the lacquering ?? I cannot imagine such. Do you believe, the factory environment is full of aggressive or abrasive dust, perhaps ? How about the rules for factory environment ? Michael, customers like you - I will not blame you, as you just had nobody next to you passing relevant information - to you - , customers like you are the cause of price increase, as these working time must be paid by someone. ========================================================== -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, March 26, 2004 3:12 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Hornlist] Factory Dust Hey everybody, I hope my cleaning quest is done, and the evil lord Buffing Dust was banished from the inside of my horn! I took it to the shop and had it disassembled and ultrasonically cleaned. Tomorrow (hopefully) I go to aquire it. For my roving eye has set its glimpse on it, and the detachable bell has a will of its own....Its searching for its master.....(except I didnt forge it in the hot firey chasms of the Yamaha Factory....just spent some money...quite abit.....to say I did.). MWOOHAHAHA! Lol, got a little carried away. Wish me luck that its all cleaned out. Mike PS: Thanks all, especially Mr. Mumford and Professor Hans Pizka, for all your help. _______________________________________________ post: [EMAIL PROTECTED] set your options at http://music.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/hans.pizka%40t-online.de _______________________________________________ post: [EMAIL PROTECTED] set your options at http://music.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org
