out any new instruments: my fingers are too big to play an Eb

down (right hand) to keep from bumping them all the time. How am I
going to try out horns?>>

Bill, cut small pieces of cork, and place them as wedges under the sliver
keys, so they can't open if you brush against them. That way you will be able
to try out the horn enough to see if you like it enough to buy it.
