Hello, more important than all the outside packing is it, to prevent the heavier valve section to rip off the body of the horn. To do so, you place a 4 x 2" piece of 0,5" thick moss rubber or other semi-hard & semi-soft piece between lower side of the valve section & the tuning slide on the back of the horn, some other wrapping material (airbubble sheet = usual packing mterial for fragile things) where you can squeeze it between horn & case inside & on top of the horn & the sides of the bell. A box slightly bigger than the horn case, the box filled with cushion material (paper, peanuts, etc.). But most important: get it declared as FRAGILE ITEM. It helps.
BUT : CARE THAT THE HORN CANNOT MOVE WITHIN THE CASE & CANNOT MOVE IN PARTS so to lose solders etc. ============================================================ ================================================ -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of sirgallihad Sent: Saturday, June 30, 2007 12:37 AM To: The Horn List Subject: Re: [Hornlist] overseas transport well, it turns out that because we're traveling as a group, I'm limited to the size of the horn case for storing it. so are there any other possibilities for arranging it so that I don't need a big box?
