The majority of the weight of the valve section on a Geyer Wrap horn is born by the tube tube that enters the 1st valve casing at the top, and the corresponding tube on the change valve. When the horn is dropped or jarred the valve casing will move, and either the soldering will break, or in a worst case scenario the ports push into the valve casing. I would NOT consider this a factor when buying a horn.... rather, just don't drop it!
