There may be enough interest in this info to justify posting here:

Now...I, myself, have never ruined a perfectly good instrument by working
on it myself. Gosh no. BUT! I'm told by people that have, that in the
blink of an eye, you can turn a good horn into the main ingredient for a
table lamp. We are in the "Don't try this at home...these are trained pro-
fessionals!" mode, here. To paraphrase Louie Armstrong: "If you don't know
what it is, don't fool with it!"
In the words of that famous philosopher, Burch Johnson, "I ain't respon-
sible if you follow my advice." 'Course, I'm not giving any advice.
But the Woodwind Quarterly IS a great addition to your library.
