If a post gets knocked off, you replace it. This is for the Bb side key. It's been that way since I bought the horn, never any problem.

When I bought the horn it had cork risers on all 3 side keys, I took them off but I wanted the high E key a little lower down so I just carved its piece of cork to this strange shape. The key was super spongy because its stopper bore on a key rod of another key, so I put the little curved brass part on, like one I saw on a Selmer BA (I think).

Bell keys, one with the correct green felt bumper, the other with a piece of cork. Works fine, I think it's been on there since I bought the horn.

This little leather zippy bag is what I keep my mouthpiece, reeds, reed tools in. I've had it since before I had the horn.

It occurs to me that you could just argue a lot of these pictures are just lousy repairs, but the repairs are all sound and solid and work dandy, so I think of them as accumulated history. No question but that this horn's been around the block once or twice. Amazingly for a horn with so many keyguards having been resoldered, the body tube has almost no dents at all, nor evidence of them having been removed.
