Re: Padding Woes

Armed with knowledge and confidence bolstered by this thread I successfully dressed the tone holes of the E-11. I basically used the same methods I have used on plastic horns, a hard small plastic cylinder with a flat end and a piece of 400 paper double stick taped to it for the top of the hole and a pencil point covered with 400 paper for inside. The major hurdle for me was my concern with the thin inner bevel which was alleviated by Chris. Given the slight degree of imperfection in the holes I decided not to put any super glue on them and this turned out to be the right decision. I took a little more care with the sanding than with my previous horns and ended up with a much improved seal and the horn now plays about as well as my 9* which was my goal. So thanks everyone for guiding me along and I'll think of you when I'm having fun tooting on this baby.
