Well it's happened on my horn due to a minor solder break and it's happened on other horns due to small leakages that pop up from time to time in certain places. Unless my ears were deceiving me? I heard from both cases a small sharp buzz. -William In a message dated 1/7/2006 2:02:57 P.M. Central Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:
Hi William, I do not believe that this is true in relation to valve leakage- or even other leakage sometimes- such as solder breaks in tube connections. Leakage in the valves will cause some deterioration in the sound quality (generally as a lack of resonance-see my original post) or the intonation and response, but not a buzz. The problems caused by valve leaking can go unnoticed by many players because the changes in the way the instrument reacts because of the leakage can be very subtle.
