Sorry, there is a much better solution if you modify
position no 3) as follows:
Just stand up, hold your horn as usual but remove the hand
from the bell. The bell is pointing to the director. You
have no difficulty following the conductor if the orchestra
has a big mirror at the back. This positio

I don't think women are "taking over" brass sections

Lubricants are also like religion - either you believe or you don't. I have
a history of this with bicycles, not with horns, but the religious fervor is
no different there. Some folks lube their bike chains with kerosene, others
WD40, others dip their chains in melted wax and let it dry on a clot
Talking about beer is like talking about BBQ and they are both closely

I disagree.
The Scotch-brite (which is an abrasive material) pad will leave fine
particles behind, which are abrasive. Then you have to clean the
threads of the small abrasive particles that remain, or else they get
ground up in the threads. I would never use Scotch-brite on the soft

Lubricants will make a mess and attract grit like a magnet. Get an
