Just getting ready to go to orchestra rehearsal,so was going to warm up a
bit on my Merker horn (which I like alot) and good thing I did,as the thumb
valve appears frozen in place. Never a problem before, and it is greased and

really the valve that is stuck, or the key mechanism. I suggest that you
check in this way -
1) With your finger tips, gently grasp the 'swing arm' on the valve and try

There is a Carl Beyer, Chicago single horn on Ebay. This worries me. I trust the
current sellers but over the last few years I have seen several CARL BEYER horns
listed for sale. Are they all just misreading the logo or did someone in the 40s or

OK, presuming the horn on ebay is a real Geyer, I
