Larry Jellison states: I quit playing Kopprasch several years ago because I thought the sounds coming out of my horn were annoying, too. Never thought of blaming the bumpers.
More somberly, has there ever been a discussion on this list of bumpers? Bumpers need to allow quiet valve action, not cause a bounce, yet consistently stop at the same location over a long period of time (years, hopefully). I have been thinking of trying glue from a hot glue gun, applying the hot glue directly to the bumper location-- should make a perfect fit, then the excess would be trimmed with a razor blade. The hot glue comes in varying grades of hardness Larry -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I observe - Interesting, though somewhat eyebrow raising. My 13 year old daughter has a glue stick gun for various hobby related purposes and it would not be something I'd be eager to wrestle with in the tight confines of the underside of my horn. What I most wanted to say was somewhat obliquely related to the topic, which is to say that I expect to hear some response from our British correspondents about our misuse of the term that they use for what we benighted New Worlders call "subs" (no, not hero sandwiches or underwater boats, but those deputized by contracted players to fill in for them at services). I leave it to the satirical stylings of others to extract any potential humor in this.
