About

I'm an English teacher, with a Ph.D in literature. I find that one of the things that keeps me sane after reading too many essays is to recondition old horns. I don't make much, if anything, on these horns. I just like to see them playable again.

100 Reusable Fabric Fruit Protection Bags Insect Barrier 7" x 9 1/2"
Jun 29, 2019
Too thick. Don't let light in.
The idea behind these is that they need to be thin enough to allow photosynthesis. These aren't. I put them on my blackberries, and in every case, berries covered by the bags failed to ripen.
Bb Valve Flat Slide Trombone Gold with Case and Mouthpiece Gold Lacquer Gift
Feb 18, 2017
Looks great on the outside, but has a tragic flaw.
I've owned five Chinese trombones and this is one of the best. Unfortunately, it has a flaw that you wouldn't notice. All modern trombones have something called a "leadpipe." It's a brass tube that the mouthpiece slips into, which consists of a mouthpiece receiver, a choke point or "venturi," and a gradually expanding taper--all hidden inside of the upper slide tube. Leadpipes give feedback and useful resistance, and only the best players can work without one. This trombone might as well not have a leadpipe. I pulled the one installed in it--a task which requires a torch, specialized tools, and a lot of expertise. Instead of the .350 venturi I'd expect to find on a student horn, it had a .425 bore which extended the entire length of the leadpipe down to the last 1/4" where it expanded rapidly to .460. Most pros playing .500 bore horns would consider .415 or so to be very large, and expect a gradual taper up to .460. The way this one is set up, it's only suitable for a player with very well developed chops and very odd tastes. it's a bazooka!! For a student, this horn is not going to play in tune, it's going to be weak on attacks, and the tone will be poor. I'm a tech, so I can replace leadpipes. If you were to have this done, parts and labor would be around $150. That's just not a good deal.

Shower Head Filter Water Softener for Hard Water Chlorine Purifier Universal US

Poorly manufactured
The area that screws onto the existing threads is very thin and brittle. mine broke while I was installing it under moderate pressure. It's also very large, and moves the head of the shower to an uncomfortable position.
