      Hi Geoff

      It’s to attach a sheet music holder called a Lyre for marching bands. See links below for examples.

        Of course. Thanks Jeff. I’ve been out of the horn world for so long I’d forgotten.

            Hi Wayne
            Hope you are ok, you have a larger tip opening now
            so you need to push more air through and also it
            will take time to get use to the metal piece after.

            having a hard rubber. Try a softer reed also if I were you
            I have just purchased HEMP reed and found so responsive and easy
            to blow straight away.
