Well, this horn seems to have passed some years. Look at the linkage, if there is some "mobility" at the connections of the arms, where metal "clonks" metal, perhaps. If you hold both arms & they seem to allow a bit of movement at the connections, bring the horn to a repairman to get it fixed. What kind of linkage does it have ? Is it a cross-joint ? (mostly) This can be fixed.

Thankyou, I did check the linkage and it seemed OK although I wasn't 100% certain to know what to look for. There is a brass repairman in town so perhaps I'll ask him to take a look too. My horn is a Gerhard Schneider B&H sponsored Master Model. I don't know how old it is, it only has 131205M stamped on the leadpipe but no other markings. I suspect it has been around for a while but it is a bit of a mystery instrument! You were actually the only person able to provide me with any information on G. Schneider a year or so ago. Thankyou again for your suggestions. As it is my only instrument (and the only one I'm ever likely to have) and I value it dearly I want to take the best care of it that I can. Have a Happy Easter break!
