[Hornlist] Tuning slide locks
Does anyone KNOW where you can get tuning slide locks? Osmuns and Dillons aren't carrying them as a rule. Dillon's told me they only come to them from Alexander and only when an order of horns come in. I'm thinking there must be another avenue to pursue getting these. Any solid suggestions? thanks, Jim ___ post: [EMAIL PROTECTED] unsubscribe or set options at http://music.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org

If you just want something to keep your slides from pushing in too far, go to the hardware store and get some thin black rubber O-rings. Get ones that fit snugly over the legs of your tuning slides without sliding around *too* easily. Just slide them to the right spot. If your slides fall out, get a competent repair person to expand the slides so they will fit correctly.

One consideration about the slide locks - especially for the main tuning slide - is to verify that the horn will fit in its case with the slide(s) pulled. With my horn case, if I do not push-in the main tuning slide the horn does not go into the case properly - but I don't use that slide for emptying water anyway...

RE: [Hornlist] Tuning slide locks
The O rings are the cheapest solution, but they tend to move from where you put them as the slide is replaced. A better, but more expensive solution, is to purchase tuning ring locks from Osmun. He is out of stock at the moment, but I think he will be getting some more soon.
