Hello all,
I am having difficulty trying to move some very very stiff valves on a horn
that hasn't been played in about 2 years.
I managed to get someone to move one of them with pliers a few months ago, and
I got another moving with force.
Currently the horn is in the bath being blitzed w
I am trying to locate an old teacher and friend of mine: Ralph Pottle, who
used to live in Hammond, LA. If anyone has his phone number or address
would they kindly send it to me off list?
Many thanks

OK, below is what I got from the Fines' son. I'm posting it in the
interest of not spreading further urban legends.

It's interesting that the schedule of repair surcharges is in no way
