Tunning bell sucks

trumpetnick · 01-27-2007, 05:41 AM

Though I like very much my Spada horn which is excellent as far as playing is concerned (sound, intonation, valves etc) the tunning bell makes me crazy...Let me explain:

Often (3 times till now) when I leave my trumpet on the stand if the bell holder is not screwed up to the limit the valve body is falling down and hurting wether the bell or the tunning slide.

Er........Don't use the stand, place the horn on your chair.

Curiously,

I never had this problem with the C trumpet, but this is probably because I use it less often on the orchestra than the B flat...I have an older colleague who is saying that this is coming of too much care for the horn

I took it as a joke than, but maybe he is right. If I was somewhere near Burgdorf I would go to Rene to fix the problem but Bulgaria where I am living and working at the moment is quite far away. Probably I should get an additional holder/stop as some schilke horn have (I think in particular about the schilke tunning bell horn in f which has that

I used to to hold the horn (cause I had lost my stand) but when I decide to play two horns on the same concert this is starting to present a problem...Probably I should use the stand only when playing 2 horns...ot loose my stand again

put a towel on the floor beside your chair and lay your horn on that, use your stand for the other horn. Take care. Dave

One time should have been enough to let you realize that it is not smart to use this horn on a stand.

I have never had that problem with my Schilke B3L, but I was worried about it for a bit when I first got the horn.

I like dave's towel idea. if that doesn't work and you are allowed to I would bring my case with me to where I was playing either in a pit or off stage somewhere. If that isn't possible then I would agree with Manny, Ouch.

Tom, probably you are right...I used to bring the trumpet case (MB 4 trumpet case, which is quite big, but nevermind) on stage in order to put the horn on it. I will probably start doing it again as it seems the best possible solution, though it probably does not look very well. Towell is a good idea, but the stage is quite old and dusty, so I will have to bring a new towell every working day
