I did that once, buy a Lawson-threaded rim from Tom at Moosewood. A few years back, but as I dimly recall it didn't cost a whole lot more than his other rims and was done in a reasaonable time frame. Fred - Original Message - From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Sent: Tuesday, May 09, 200

hello- someone already beat me to it, but yes indeen the lawson rims do not fit the Giardinelli C8/10. Lawson does make a rim very similar, called the "reverse peak" or B23 model. He offers it four inner-diameter sizes sizes 600, 650 for the s660; 700 and 750 for the s670. I play the 700, which

Not necessarily a FIX, but I'd try some other mouthpieces. Sounds like you have a medium throat horn but you are using a rather large mpce. Try a copy of a Geyer type or a Farkas MDC, MC, or any of several others. All else being equal a Giardinelli S-14 might be a good starting point. Best

Hello Ben, first check your horn if it is leak somewhere. Pull out third slide close it with one finger & blow into the horn. You should hear & feel it if there is some leakness.

If professional hornists are having the same trouble playing your horn as you are, it probably is an equipment issue. You might try fooling around with leadpipes. Although not "cheap", it is probably what you should try before looking for a new horn. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTEC
