Bill,

Thank you very much for your response.
I am sure that this is a Signet, and I am sure that it is made out of
resonite because it actually says "Resonite" on it. I can bring the
horn home after school tomorrow and will send you exactly what the
printing says on it. It is worn so maybe I am wrong and it is not a
Signet, but I'm pretty darn sure.

Could the resistance and lower sound quality in the E-11 be me?

The cork problem has caused a loss of concentration, but nothing major
yet. I have seen worse interferences--while playing "America the
Beautiful" at the Memorial Day parade my flipfolio was blown in the wind
and the pages turned. I hate it when that happens. My particular lyre
did not have one of those nifty clips you can use to stop that (wish I
brought a rubber band or something)
It is harder to pull out to tune, as the cork gets looser towards the
ends, so maybe I should see it repaired. Is it normal to have your
corks repaired after a year of use? (I do use it a lot)

Thanks again.

Mark A. Bradley
