I sure hope the Prof. decides to use Ovonic Amorophis Solar Cells (made in

I once came across an antique horn that smelled like a dead thing, and
I've tried a few other older horns that are a bit whiffy. Would I be right
in guessing this is probably the cause?

Ken and listers,
I agree with Hans on the dezinc. issue. Early Yamaha student
instruments had a terrible problem with this, especiall the outer slide of
the student trombones. I have noticed this with other off brand, cheap
student trombones and trumpets.
What is very important is to k
Sorry, Ken, these "red rot" story is a bit different. It does occur on
unlacquered instruments rarely, but it does occur a lot on lacquered
instruments. Why ? Because many makers, even famous, do not remove the
excess solder by hand (scratching it away; enormous extra costs because
time consuming),
Yes and no, I agree and disagree completely with what everyone has said.
Seriously, if you value your instrument, you should keep it properly
lubricated including the rotors. What you use is not as important as how often
you
use it. I recommend petroleum based products including the recen
Folks, take your politics elsewhere as it's off-topic and unwanted by
the overwhelming majority of those of us who read the list. Left,
Right, or Center, it doesn't matter, it's out of place here.

I've seen everything from 2 to 36 mics on symphonic recording sessions.
I've done them in concert halls, ballrooms, small and large studios. The most
realistic sound as to what was going on came from the engineers/producers who
used less mics.

Random thoughts based on this thread:
I couldn't agree with Steve Mumford more. Repair techs who insist that
every tube must be polished are not doing your horn a favor.
As for the grease with the 1-800-PRO-OILS phone number, PRO OILS is the
brand name and the maker is Musichem. They're widely

If you have very loose slides or play in hot places you may find
motorcycle chain grease suitable. A short squirt from a spray can
produces a foam which spreads out and then "sets" in a film. It's
pretty sticky and doesn't "melt" like slide grease does. And you can
use the rest of the can o
