What kind of problems can leaving the horn in the trunk cause?hakukani said:Dessicant in the case.
Don't leave your horn in the trunk.
Glue softening and anything attached with glue can fall off. Plus theft and damage from shifting cargo or an accident.Wailin' said:What kind of problems can leaving the horn in the trunk cause?
Gets too hot in the summer.Wailin' said:What kind of problems can leaving the horn in the trunk cause?
I practice in the same building in which I rehearse, but not the exact same room (not possible as it's locked). Air conditioning etc are similar enough. It's so frustrating, I dont know what to do.Carl H. said:Do you practice in the same environment you rehearse in?
Have you considered the possibility that the reeds are too hard? Try a slightly softer reed, or, if you think they're only slightly too hard, give them a light sanding.dstack79 said:Response is sluggish, sound is dead, and all the reeds feel too hard......
I did back down a strength, to a #3 (which usually feels a bit soft). I do sand them down when needed. They feel fine in one place, and feel awful in another.JL said:Have you considered the possibility that the reeds are too hard?

Coming from a place with seasons, it is the change which is worse than dry or humid. If you are set up for dry and it gets warm, that is a set of problems. Just like if it all of a sudden gets dry it is yet another set of problems. Heating and AC seasons are fine, it is spring and fall when things are changing that it gets interesting.Giganova said:Isn't low humidity more problematic than high humidity? :?
I am so happy that the winter is over and humidity is high and that the air in rooms is not as dry anymore. There is nothing worse than playing cane reeds in dry air in heated rooms.
