It just made ALL the pads sound like a side trill key with mositure bubbling
out...good thing it wasn't soapy water.
Didn't really help, but gave new meaning when I played "Stranger on the
Shore" and "Three Coins in the Fountain." It happened thanks to a long,
tiring day, concerts in the Mexico heat, and a sixteen-year-old American boy
watching a very lovely young Mexican lady walk by just as a friend bumped
into me and knocked it from my hands. Thank goodness the water cushioned the
blow.
Actually my old Bundy (circa 1966) was a pretty good one, played a little
more like a good Selmer Signet than a Bundy.

Is the Pourcelle composite or wood?

> Never tried submersing it, though, does that help?? :o)
