And there would be the question, if the slides & valves would work properly ? What would happen, if a player/user would apply too much pressure. Would the slides hold, would the lead pipe withstand the mouthpiece pressure ? What would happen, if you hit a music stand by accident ? Wouldn´t the hit part break into powder, perhaps ? How to fix things then, using an adhesive tape perhaps. Ooops, we had that in the past with real horns ……, but plumbing would become obsolete.
