I am very sorry, that I forgot to remember you all, that we just passed the 200th
anniversary of Punto´s death on February 16th, 1803 in Prague.
He was the most famous exponent of horn playing, travelling by his own coach with four

Mike, the clanking does not come from missing oil, it comes from the lose bearing
plate so the valve cylinder can move up & down.

All I know is what not to get. My school has generously supplied us with
Olds horns (I know!) they are, to say the least, awful. On average, I get
the sound of a cow on its last straw. Today, out of nowhere, my third valve

Doesn't work for my Schmid. Where a lot of the water collects is already past
the Valves even and the only magic tilt you could do to get it back to the
Spit Valve would be a full reverse rotation or something.
Is this what you're refering to? You see 50% of my water is spitvalve-worthy

I have a Yamaha 862 which is a Kruspe wrap like the 668. I bought this horn
second-hand, and it came with extra water-keys installed on both of the 3rd
valve slides. This seems to have been well thought-out...between the three
water-keys, along with an occasional pull of the main F slide, you can

I'm sure your can't get them new at that price - but there is always a
plethora of them used in excellent condition - the same goes for the
Holtons. I usually suggest that this level of horns (the starter
doubles) should be purchased used - because you can get them at very
discounted price
I never played Yamahas but I play an Englebert Shmid and that horn has more
nooks and crannies for water to creep into than I've ever seen :)
I used to play a Holton 280 (screw-bell 180) and it was so easy getting the

Hi Scott!
First of all, the Getzen horn is in the same price league (@$2000) as the
Yamaha YHR567 or the 6D, almost $1000 less than a YHR667. The people who
have played it in our shop have preferred it to the 567, both for sound and
pitch. It's quite quick in response and the sound is sort of Ale

It's no problem to drill an oiling-holes in any horn. As Walt Lawson says,
it has to be properly and carefully done. I'm not sure whether it's an
advantage or not. It makes it marginally easier to get oil onto the bearing
but creates an opening for foreign material to enter the valve.
