I just had my horn cleaned and a few minor dents removed on Friday.
When I took the horn out today to practice (first time since bringing
it home), I found I can't play it. The sound is oddly stuffy and the
notes are all in the wrong place. For example, when I try to play from
G to C, (open, T12, T2, T0) it comes out as a chromatic scale. The
slides all seem to have been replaced properly. I ran water through the
horn to see if there was a blockage somewhere; that didn't appear to be
the case. I've also run a snake through the lead pipe -- nothing odd
there, either.
The repair shop is three hours away. This is my only horn and I have an
important rehearsal on Wednesday night. I'm hoping that some of you
will have suggestions about what might be wrong that will save me
having to ship the horn out. (I called the repair shop and they were
stumped.)
Thanks in advance for any help you can lend me.
