That's what happens often when you buy a cheap grip! The best grip I've seen
floating around is the one made by leather specialties. Treated velvet (or
something like that) touches the horn, with plastic between the velvet and the
leather to prevent nastiness. www.brassarts.com has the best

I play off the leg--it's more flexible and helps breathing. However,one
disadvantage of playing off the leg is that it changes the balance point of the
horn, and the left hand has to pull the horn towards the face. Thus, I need
something to keep my fingers aligned with the keys. When I play on the

I play off the leg all the time, and I never needed a pinky hook or flipper
or strap. I always found that if your left hand is at the proper angle and your
left hand is naturally 'grippy' enough so that you can pull the desired
amount.
But as a side note,

A lot of funny boozings. But what do to prevent valves getting sluggish

Oil them with care. Use a clean thin acid free synthetic oil. Do not

Very important: water empty the horn carefully after playing oil the
horn then before laying it down for a while.
Rinse the horn
I'm so glad you mentioned that Hans. I never understood the point of a
grip. I have had the misfortune of cleaning certain horns belonging to other
people only to remove the hand grip to find gobs of nasty green corrosion or
mildew. And then I was the one who had to clean that crap off and find
