Atbsolutely. That way, you hold the horn so the mouthpiece reaches your
mouth -- instead of scrunching about so that your mouth has to reach the
mouthpiece. It's much more comfortable playing that way -- if you remember

Sounds like good advice, especially the part about having my son's teacher
look it over. How would I check for valve compression?
Thanks in advance.

Check valve compression and ask for a trial period in which you can return it
and get your money back. Take it to your son's teacher and have him take a
look.
