Re: [Hornlist] San Fran horn question
Carl: Try Oakland, across the Bay. Dick Akwright is the man. It's been a few years, but I believe the listing is under A G Music. (If I got this wrong, then someone in the Bay Area will certainly correct me.) Richard in Seattle Carl Ek wrote: Dear Hornlisters. Would anyone have a recommendation in the SF area for cleaning/etc my horn ? It's an early 90's Berg and I'd like to get it overhauled. Since there's a few Bergs in this neck of the woods, I asked at the local Minute Lube, but I didn't get a good vibe there.

[Hornlist] Blue Juice vs. Lamp Oil
My apologies in advance if this comes across with imbedded html code as I am repsonding via web mail. The odorless lamp oil that is sold today is liquid paraffin which is simply what we in the US call kerosene. It is not the same as the family of alkane hydrocarbons which includes paraffin wax and methane, nor is it the same as the medicianl form of liquid paraffin that is commonly known as mineral oil. Just my two cents from the FWIW department.
