Whoa, that's my drink, although I'm satisfied with 1 or 2 cherries.
I have to admit though, a Maker's Mark mannhatty is pretty smooth too.

While I do not know your circumstances, they must be pretty dire to
consider selling your horn. It was with great relief that I just read that
you are going to keep her (or him). I am one of the usually silent members

Hmm... what horn do you have? It always gums up on me...

Cum grano salis!
I've used it with no problem for god knows how long. I'll admit it lasts less
longer than other oils, but i've never had it gum any valves.
In fact, any chance you'll give me a good deal on what's left of your bottle?

Couldn't you just use the other horn (the one you usually keep at school) for the

probably more secure with playing on the night.

It's very fine because The Grouse uses Macallan, Glenrothes and Highland

I too, think that you have gotten some good advice from the posters on how
to unstick your valves. One question though, if you have a horn that you
use at school and it plays okay, why not just use that one for the concert,
if you know it to be more reliable ? You have two horns and that i

The best way to fix the problem is really to have the rotors removed and the
