Hey All!
i have a late model MKVI that I have been playing for about 22 years. I love the horn. however, over the years the neck has pulled down. Not from putting the mouthpiece on the horn...I put that on before I put the neck on. When I play, I move so much that the movement and weight of my head against the horn has bent the neck down. I have moved the neck back into round several times, but am afraid the metal in the neck is weakening. I am considering looking for a new neck, but i was wondering if there is anyone out there who does like a decorative brace that can fit in the curve of the neck and provide some stability for the neck. When in round, the neck sounds and feels killer. But if it is pulled down just a little bit it is stuffy and hard to blow through. Any recommendations?
Thanks,
Eric
