I have a Bach 18 that's almost 20 years old. Also, I haven't used in perhaps 16 years. Well, I tried it out yesterday on a new horn (Yamaha 621) and the shank taper isn't right. It's not tapered enough, so it wiggles. Jamming it in doesn't really help. Of course, my new Helleberg works fine. Has the standard taper changed sometime in the past 20 years? Thanks. Marc
