    That would be my guess too. I've solved this on a couple of my instruments over the years by taking the slide out and very gently using the strength of one hand to push the slide legs (very) slightly...

    I replaced my ancient Boosey & Hawkes case with a JP Pro a couple of years ago and it is excellent at less than half the price of the Bona case it is clearly based upon. It's essentially a hard shell...

    I find the strap less useful to me personally than the lap pad if I'm honest, but like to use it every so often as a 'cue' when I'm working on relaxation and getting rid of unnecessary tension as it...

    Only used the German branch for delivery to UK, but never any issues and they have a no quibble return policy which may be good for you as you are buying without trying. Use them less since the £...

    Great description, pretty much exactly how I remember and the comparison with the imperial is good. How do you find it in a full band? I thought it was a little restrictive in dynamic range, but that...

    From what you've said I think you will love the neo. The short time I spent on it it seemed to be similar, but just 'better' all round than the maestro. It seems a little less direct and more...

    I'm a big fan of Bill's lap pad. You certainly could make something similar yourself for less cost, but I think it's worth the money for the fact that it does the job as well as possible - the...

    Boosey & Hawkes Lead pipes

    I recently compared three older (73-82) B&H Euphs and was surprised at how different they were. Granted, one is a 73 imperial (large shank), but the other two are early 80's globe sovereigns which I...

    I think you are absolutely spot on with the feel, comfort, and the concept in your head. None of the equipment choices we are discussing are that far apart and it ultimately comes down to the 'man...
