Re: On Fixing Your Own Horn

Got to study with Hans Moennig and I learned so much. So many stories about him to share. It is best to not mess with your horns. But we should all know some basics, such as replacing a pad, replacing a cork, things like that which take about 10 minutes or so. When the need to start making cork pads for the upper register this now becomes an art. Bending keys, spring tension, key height, all of this comes with experience. Tuning the horn is probably one of the hardest things to do, because of the 12ths. This is when barrels can make a huge difference in solving some of these tuning issues.
