Incredible images ........thanks for sharing.

As for Greenlines, I have been personally responsible for two! That was circa 2008 through 2013. The first was a horn placed on its bell during rehearsal that had a the lyre attachment on it. Naturally just after I was warned that the horn could tip over without a stand......it did, right on its face. It was a thin rubber flooring over a concrete floor and the impact hit the stubby end of the lyre attachment.......snapped the center tenon right off.

The second was really stupid. I was in a boring rehearsal that I probably didn't want to play in the first place. I half heartedly tried to rest the bell of the horn on the edge of a folding chair. It slipped and the clarinet hit the floor bell end as I caught it by the barrel. Being linoleum over (yet another) concrete floor), the bell snapped clean off.

And with this history, I have ordered a Greenline horn for myself. I think I will only play in venues with shag carpets over wooden flooring!
