This is awesome! I know it's a Classic Conn American horn so it doesn't really matter, but If you want, You can use the 4rd valve for any 1&3 combination! This is an Awesome horn!
@@Markworth I guess I don't understand why people like rock solid slots. I've played around with my dad's heavy weight trumpet mouthpieces and my clear favorite is still his '30s Conn bugle with a mouthpiece that is very nearly sheet metal.
@@seth094978 For most "normal" instruments, you don't notice it so much until you start getting into really tough music with lots of big interval jumps. Even more so if you're sight reading. Where it's most problematic is instruments like French Horn where you're always playing upper partials. A bad light weight Horn is very limiting. As far as the 30I, the advantage is that it doesn't feel as unstable when pushing the cup depth so much. Admittedly, this also limits the barky tone when using the big mouthpieces, so that's not entirely ideal.

Yeah, I'm not so great at that trick. This is only my third instrument with a 4th valve, but doing that is helpful for the Washington Post lick.
I honestly don't understand why people like heavy instruments. My tuba is like 14 lbs and I vastly prefer it over all the heavier ones I've played.
More weight improves the slotting, and other neat stuff. It actually can be a detriment, and is certainly a matter of preference.
