You've got it the wrong way round!
Oil is sold in barrels so you can put your horn IN one before shipping
it.
Even if the ship sinks the oil will keep it afloat and rust-free.
Indeed so. Not only was this good advice known to the ancients, but it
comes from a reliable source.
1 Samuel 16:1 sez:
The LORD said to Samuel: "How long will you grieve for Saul, whom I have
rejected as king of Israel? Fill your horn with oil, and be on your way. ...

Last gallon of it I bought was about $10 at Target, if I remember right. I still have more than half of it left. No, it doesn't fit in my Thompson Edition cases, either, but that's what little bottles are for. And tiny funnels. ___ post: horn@music.memphis.edu unsubscribe or set options at http://music2.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org

Fred wrote Also re oil, it is worth considering that while oil sells currently for around $96/barrel, that is equivalent to around 66 euros - back in January 2001 there was rough parity between the two currencies (1 euro = 0.94 dollars), so the rapid price rise of oil in US dollars since that time is to a large degree a function of the declining international value of the dollar. The situation is even worse for valve oil. I spent $4.95 on my most recent purchase. This is over $12,000 a barrel! Luckily, a barrel of valve oil will last a long time, even though it doesn't fit very easily in the little compartment of my MB case.

I have opne of these bags. It's given me good service for 5 years or so. Its a soft gig bag so it's not going to give any protection from hard knocks but it is reasonably well padded and certainly better than some of the other bags I looked at. Space is limited but the compartment at the front has room for my metronome/tuner, Dennis Wick straight mute, 2 mouthpeices, and 2 valve oil bottles and slide wax. There is a side container with room for music - not a thick wad but more than just a4 sixe. The straps are robust (though I've had to adjust the clips which had a tendency to come loose - a quick squeeze with a pair of pliers did the trick. And the case is comfortable enough as a back-pack. I wouldn't let my horn out of my sight (or reach) in this (or any other soft bag) but it lets me cycle to rehearsals which means I can do my bit for the environment. Hope that's some use.
