Thankyou for your advice, I have manipulated every movable part of the horn and all seems tight and sound. I have checked all strings, screws and fittings and they seem equally OK. In fact for a possibly elderly instrument that has travelled around the countryside quite a deal it seems to me to be in pretty good shape all round! I'm going to try a change of oil (also perhaps get something a little thicker as the valves may not be quite so snug anymore -is this a good idea?) and I can't help wondering about the weather aspect as it has been quite extreme recently. Maybe it will even resolve itself with a change of season in a few weeks time! > What kind of linkage does it have ? Is it a cross-joint ? > (mostly) This can be fixed. Sorry, I'm not quite sure what you mean... maybe I'll have a talk to the brass repairman (even though he very seldom works on horns, mostly brass band instruments, he should hopefully know what to look for) > My Easter break is La Tosca tomorrow & Parsifal on Sunday > ============================================================ > ================================================= Thankyou very much again for your time and I am envious of your Easter *break*!! I hope you get some time to relax too :) Chris W -- ___________________________________________ Graffiti.net free e-mail @ www.graffiti.net Play 100s of games for FREE! http://games.graffiti.net/ Powered By Outblaze _______________________________________________ post: horn@music.memphis.edu unsubscribe or set options at http://music2.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org
