Re: A question of balance

Thanks for everyone's comments. I guess I will get used to it. I really want to keep this horn.

I just took a look at the two of them sitting next to each other on their stands and the Martin 3rd valve starts where my Olds 1st valve is. That puts the valves at least a couple of inches closer to the mouthpiece on the Martin.

I guess that's why my Olds doesn't fit so well in my travel case..
