| Could I have red rot on my horn?
I have a fairly new Besson International, I bought it used, so I'm not sure exactly how old it is. Soon after I bought it, I noticed bubbles in the finish all the way down the leadpipe, and in the tuning slide that goes to the leadpipe. Could this possibly be red rot in such a new horn (I'm guessing 5-10 years old)? Could it possibly be just a finish problem, and is it usually characteristic of Internationals? It hasn't effected the way the horn plays, but I'm just wondering. It SEEMED to appear all at once, but I'm not entirely sure, it could be that I just didn't notice it at first.
