Hi Jill, There are two criteria to be addressed in estimating the value
of your instrument:
1, What would it cost to replace it with one of similar qualitiy?
Broadly speaking, Lechniuk horns fall into the same catagory as other
handmade instruments from small makers using outsourced parts.
Hi Jill,
If possible, contact the maker and ask what the replacement value would be. I
have my horns insured with a rider on my home owners policy. The insurance co.
asked for an appraisal on the horns which I was able to get from my local music
store. The company didn't ask for a written
Those are like the button accordions that most of the best players prefer.

any transcription you can think of but I don't think it's completely due to
this.

It sounds like you need a break - I'd cut practice back significantly, maybe
half the volume, maybe take a day or two off completely, and see how you
feel after a week or two. If you feel like you've lost a little, that's OK
because it will come right back.
Just my opinion.

It's fairly easy to hide a horn compared to a Sousaphone or a Steinway grand.

Nobody had a double horn in 1890, so to skip this question.
As a very simple piece, it could be written for any average
play. So to neglect this question. Why it was written ?
Nobody knows, but composers did write their pieces to make a

Hi all:
While eagerly awaiting the delivery of my new Reynolds Chambers for college
that fall and having lost the use of the school horn I was using, a friend (now
deceased)
loaned me his Linz to use in the interim. This was in 1960, so I am guessing
a post-war manufacture, probably in the
A photo would help me ask some pertinent questions. Linz somehow rings
a bell, but I can't find any clue in Langwill with the information
you've given. There were a lot of compensating doubles made in Italy.
Italian makers don't jump to my mind the way German, English, USA, and
Japanese do.
A bit of knowledge in geography might reveal, that something is wrong
with that obscure Linz horn made in Italy, as Linz has nothing to do
with Italy.
The producer of this instrument might have nothing to do with the
engravings either, but the dealer (s), who got it engraved (perhaps).
Such kind

First: throw the tuner out of your practice room use your ear to
correct pitches. If the slides are set once, they should stay so. Just
remember how far they have to be pulled out each. Remember that the
Bb-slides (the lower set) have to be pulled out just a bit less than the
F-slides.

Barbara,
Sounds like one or more of your valve rotors may be 90 degrees out of line.
Therefore, instead of pressing a valve to open it, instead you might be
closing it and getting the odd results. Try pulling each pair of tuning
slides off the horn and playing. Press the valve and see if any
