It would really help out for my dodecatuple horn. I bought it from a British fellow. I asked him "How much?" and he replied "Oh about 450 pounds."
"That's a steal!" I said. "I can get that much money to you right away." He sighed, and then said, "No, sir, that's not the price, that's the weight" -William In a message dated 4/15/2004 10:22:38 AM Pacific Daylight Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: The trombone version is wonderful for some extremely heavy bass trombones and for trombones requiring an awkward left hand position, such as the Holton Superbone. I can't even hold a Superbone in playing position for more than five minutes without it. For the horn, though, I find it difficult to see the value of this device, except for players with a physical handicap. There have sometimes been complaints about very heavy triple horns; would it help with that? _______________________________________________ post: [EMAIL PROTECTED] set your options at http://music.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org
