Much as cryo isn't proven but is deemed worthwhile by some, I have also heard that the same thing happens to a horn when it's been played regularly for a few decades. In fact, more than one person has said the effects are comparable, and that the cryo treatment is, in effect, a way to speed up the break-in process. -S- _______________________________________________ post: horn@music.memphis.edu unsubscribe or set options at http://music2.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org
