My Max Enders compensator was probably made concurrent with the
earliest Kruspe horns based on the fact that Max Enders was pretty
much retired before the 20th century.
Bill, the horn must postdate the earliest Kruspe compensating doubles
by at least a few years, as our best sources put Max

Dear list,
I am currently at a music camp in Saratoga, NY. I was in brass quintet practice
yesterday, and my first valve freezes up just like that. I had oiled it earlier
that day, and I vastly depleted my stock trying to get it back up to an
adequate speed. It is still a bit sluggish, and I'm
Sounds like a piece of gunk found the 1st valve--possibly food if you didn't
thoroughly clean your mouth before playing. I would try flushing with water.
Don't wiggle the other valves--you don't want the gunk to find the other
valves. You will have to flush both sides, though. Then oil thoroughly.

Hi, Nicholas -
While it could be food, corrosion, metal shavings, or the like, another
possibility is that the pressure
plate has become misalligned.
What I'd do is to loosen the retaining screw a half revolution and loosen

Sometimes the top bushing gets a smidgeon out of alignment. Try
tapping the bottom screw for that valve very gently with a small mallet
or hammer. TAP it; do not HIT it! Sometimes that solves the problem
for a while.

Is there anything wrong with flushing valves with drug store alcohol?

Nick,
Im not a specialist in the area, but Ive been fixing up an old Conn 6D
recently and I successfully did this without damaging anything. My friend, who
works at an instrument repair shop, has been teaching me. As others have
pointed out, you probably have some kind of gunk or corrosion
Hello Horn List,
It is with sadness and celebration that I tell you of the death of our
Redneck Horn player, Doc Robby. Commander Robinson's funeral will be held
with Military Honors (USN) on Monday afternoon in Pensacola, Florida.
As Robby often said, "If you are traveling down the leadpipe
The source that gave me this same information was more of the opinion that Max
Enders, as a maker, was pretty well established prior to taking over from
Mueller, and probably didn't build a lot of complete instruments with his name
on them after 1900. The only other Max Enders instrument I've h

Please send the cl./hn. duets. Thank you.
Your advise about hammering on the stop arm retaining screw will result in
bending the screw or breaking the threaded portion off. The safest method is
to remove it completely and use a pin punch bottomed in the empty screw hole.
Nice if you have the parts. If you at least are using a properl
