Chris T wrote In all seriousness, I bet most of us never heard of "factory dust" or lapping compound in new horns until the recent hornlist posts. If it were really a problem, wouldn't it have been brought to the general horn-public's attention much earlier?
************ As it happens, Chris, I have several bags of factory dust* here in my office. Send me your address, and I'll be glad to send you some so that you can get caught up on this problem. Each bag comes with a special reusable baster-style applicator so that you can easily reach those hard-to-get spots in your new horn. Gotta go, Cabbage *Actually, it's academic dust, not factory dust, but the principle is pretty much the same. _______________________________________________ post: [EMAIL PROTECTED] set your options at http://music.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org
