Bruce,
That's a great idea. I'll try it if I ever replace my

bother to disasemble the horn assy. for any reason,
after 20 years or so it's not a bad idea to clean it.
inside and out. (maybe just because I'm the "Anal
Retentive Keyboard Player). There's a little thin
foam mesh dust protector down in the throat. If it's
missing or disintegrates or you wash it down the
drain, I have replaced it with a piece of speaker
grille type foam cut into a little circle and about
1/4" thick or so. PVC-E glue (not the cement for PVC
pipes) works like magic.

Ryan,

How could you ever get them (and keep them) spinning
in sync? : )
