Re: Surface craks in bore + Dry weather woes

Really sorry to hear your bad luck. But...it just goes to show that having a hydrometer doesn't guarantee you have enough humidity where you need it. It seems obvious your horns are drying out. Personally I use the "hand test" to determine when I need more humidity. The hand test involves attempting to revolve all the rings every time you assemble the horn. If they revolve....the horn is too dry. When I get a new horn with loose rings I put the sections in a plastic box along with a damp sponge and check often.
