Re: buying a brand new horn......and playing it in

Posted by G.Uru on April 21, 2008 in reply to buying a brand new horn......and playing it in.:

AS the late lamented Enoch Powell once infamously said, its' all a matter of 'numbers':
The number of hours you play it every day.

2-3 hours a day and it will take 2 to 3 months to blow in.
1-1.5 hours a day means a 4 to 6 months to blow in.
6 hours a day and about 1 month will see it (hear it) blown in.
Blowing in means resonating the metals' molecules at every frequency (pitch) that the horn is capable of sounding.
( OK all you grammatical to##ers, 'every pitch at which the horn is capable of sounding').
if I won the lottery I would have built a vibrating 'resonance machine' so that this could be done to a new horn without all the hard work!
