I have a few Classic Rock Discs from the London Symphony Orchestra. But
I can't find anything more about this. Are these discs a part of a show
- like the night of the proms - or just a record? Does anybody know
more about the why/what of this project?
The Vienna Symphony Orchestra did also
My thanks to Hans for the information about the correct way to install and
adjust the bumpers.
I did not know that in is nolonger proper to shave the bumpers to get
alignment - according to Hans, using the correct size of bumper material
allows alignment without need to shave.

A good place to get neoprene is a hardware store that carries O-rings. We
have a supplier for industry in our town called Industrial Rubber Supply.
I tried out sizes until I found one to fit and bought a lifetime supply.
All I need to do is cut to length.

All. Cork vice rubber-vinyl compounds. I dunno. While still working as a
Toolmaker early 60s, I made up a more than lifetime batch. We were working

The first time I fitted (or had fitted) new bumpers, they were cork. I was
advised that rubber was too hard and could cause some kind of wear in the
long term due to the non-shock absorbing properties - it is too abrupt a
stop at the end of travel for the rotor or lever mechanism.

Do your colleagues a big favor and don't use scented oils. It's just
like perfume - there is nothing worse than trying to take a big breath
and inhaling vanilla or grape or whatever. Just say no to scented
oils. They are obnoxious.

The best stops for horn rotors are made of avaition grade ORing material.
The problem is that it is sold in quantities much too large for any horn player
to use in a dozen lifetimes. The material has a high degree of chemical
resistance so it's not affected by oxygen, water, valve oil etc.
Here is what I have in my kit:
Valve oil (2 kinds)
Slide Grease
Extra string (nylon fishing line)
Lighter for string
Small screwdriver
Polishing cloth
Anbesol--for sore teeth, not for regular use as it with kill your chops
Several mouthpieces
I found the right size pouch for all this: an old
