Sounds like that's more bore surgery than I want to deal with. Besides, I'm happy with the openness and sound of the horn from low C on up, except for the 4th valve responsiveness. It's just that lower register, especially those notes involving the 4th valve that are a lot of work. My pedal CC is very open and easy (when I'm warmed up), and it just pops right out. And as usual, it gets stuffier the more valves I add. But this horn seems extreme. For a low D with all 4 valves, I have about 5 seconds max at forte before the air runs out. I get 15 or so secs. with my pedal CC at the same general dynamic level. As soon as I get into that low register, I have to REALLY blow to get a good sound.
