RunnyBunny Dec 2020 4:31pm, 11 Dec 2020 1174 posts	0 RunnyBunny We have a tenor horn I got a rental instrument rather than spending hundreds of quid on something I might not get on with, but I can get some notes out of it which is a start. Initially it felt blocked and I could only get a note by pressing a valve half down, but I twiddled the valve and it resolved the problem, so I guess all the bits where the tubes get changed by the valves had got out of whack. I have found some YouTubes. Mr RB sounds better than I do, but I think that's because I need to relax my embouchure more (probably too tight due to oboeing). It can't be heard outside the house, so my worries about annoying the neighbours are hopefully unfounded.
