I agree, it's no way to handle a horn that's not stable on its bell. I have a new King (which is short with an extremely wide bell) so it's plenty stable, but there's no way I would do that with a horn like your wonderful Holton, a horn with a very narrow bell, or one with a thin brass bell. I would rather have a side-opener, to be honest, but my Altieri works well enough for me. I have to admit, sometimes it's a real pain to go through all of these steps. Price and availability were the key when I bought the bag, not ease of use.
