Larry,

Cotton diapers? I hope you took them off your kids first (hahaha).

Lars,

Larry is 100% correct. And you might want to ask Dave if he had just eaten "Oscars" or a "Prime Rib Sandwich from Pzazz" right before play testing your horn. :wink:

But seriously, Larrys advice about the valve care, even on a horn that will be as well made as your new Calicchio, is absolute! I personally submerged my valves in a glass of Jack Daniels, straight up, played as long as I could before the valves started to feel a little ugly, then would wash them with regular Dawn dishwashing liquid, rinse the valve & the valve casings in hot water (from the sink tap) then re-oil and repeat.
