Yes, I heard the same about Wayne and that was who I was considering. I thank you for the other recommendations. Do you think a valve alignment is in order here? I honestly don't know much about it. My main horn already had it done before I played it and I have not felt it necessary to do with my other horns. Sorry to be a pest.....

I play quite a bit of piccolo and after playing someone else's, I got "the bug". I want to improve my horn instead of buying another because I have always sounded good on this one.
