VMI 3301 owners, how are you emptying the water out of your horn during a performance? On mine, with all those water keys the only one that ever has anything to drain is the one in the slide that comes off the lead pipe. Nothing in any of the others, yet there is water gurgling away inside the horn. The only way I can drain it is to pull the upper slides and tip it over. That's fine, but it's tough to do during a performance. I'm a new 3301 player, would be interested in knowing if you veterans have found this to be a problem.
