Thanks, Bill. I will definitely break it in carefully. I have a friend
who plays in the Rogue Valley Symphony who recently
purchased a Howarth set. She keeps orange peels in her
case. Even so, her Bb horn cracked terribly (I am the one
who first noticed it, I almost felt guilty) but her A is fine....
I am assuming this is because the Bb gets played more???
