Popcorn & Bees in Brass Trumpet Organs
By Andy Park

Hi Guys,  I've emailed to Joe Hilferty about brass trumpets and the
vulnerabilities of bees trying to creep into the horns.  The result?
The trombones and trumpets quit playing until they are cleaned and
polished!

Have you had any stories about the bees and the brass horns?  One time
while reading the COAA journal about the Wurlitzer 148, bits of popcorn
got into the brass horns while restoring that organ!

Let us know.  Not just me, but we like to hear your stories or answers.

Best,
Andy Park
