If you expect trouble when checking in for your flight, you can prevent this by informing the airline in advance, that you have to carry your valuable musical instrument on board. That is official and it works. ===

An interesting sidebar to the acid bath valve cleaning discussion is the question of whether corrosion is the actual cause of your horn's sluggish valves. Quite frequently, the cause of hang-ups and sluggishness, particularly in public school instruments, is misaligned slides that are putting some

I've played very few Yamaha student horns, but can say that the 862 custom Kruspe copy I played on for 5 - 6 years was a great hornsuperior to the student horns I've tried. On the other hand, when I sold this horn to a well known horn artist/repairman from the Chicago area, he told me that

One piece that should get more exposure than it does is the Berg Horn-Lokk. It's unaccompanied and recorded ridiculously well by Froydis. Others that come to mind immediately, while I would say are not obscure, but are often overlooked or overshadowed. En Foret is super-standard in the horn re

Some people notice a difference in the sound, good or bad. For those who think it's not as good as a cut bwll, I suppose to them that's the downside. Personally, I'm not sure. I had a 668V cut and it played BETTER. The ring rounded out the metal a bit, so maybe that's why. When you have such
