Option 2. INSIDE the LOWER portion ofthe TUNING SLIDE.
Placement here will achieve improved response with the least amount
of resistance.
Since all instruments respond in varying degrees according to their inherent design, the AcousticCoil can provide a measure of response adjustment by using the indicated placements for your instrument to determine your preference.
In any case, be careful to closely follow the installation instructions on the AcoustiCoil container's label card... matching the coil side with the retriever/guage so that it is positioned at the prescribed distance in from the tubing edge (at the mark), coiled within itself and straight (with the overlapping edges matching).
Since it is necessary to see inside the instrument for the recommended placements and critical adjustments with the retriever/guage/adjustment too provided, it is desireable to hold that portion of the trumpet or bugle under a bright light during the installation process.
Option 1. Placement inside of the main tuning slide (either top or bottom portion/lead-pipe) of the horn will achieve improved response in that mode... with the least amount of resistance created at the placement farthest from the mouthpiece, and vice-versa. thus placed, the AcoustiCoil will affect all F or Bb notes.
Option 2.Place the Acoustical inside one of the 1st, 2nd, or 3rd valve slides (F or Bb sides). This can achieve improved response on only selected notes played with that fingering. this placement can be used to improve 1 or 2 "problem" pitches. However, DO NOT combine 1 and 2! More than one AcoustiCoil affecting the same pitch creates increased resistance and is not recommended.
Since all instruments respond in varying degrees according to their inherent design, the AcoustiCoil can provide a measure of response adjustment by using the indicated placements for your horn to determine your preference.
In any case, be careful to closely follow the installation instructions on the AcoustiCoil container's label card... matching the coil side with the retriever/guage so that is is positioned atthe presecribed distance in from the tubing edge (at the mark), coiled within itself and straight (with the overlapping edges matching).
Since it is necessary to see inside the instrument for the reecommended placements and critical adjustments with the retriever/guage/adjustment tool provided, it is also desirable to hold that portion of the horn under a bright light during the installation process.
2. Placement inside the bell taper section (other side of truning slide on instruments with an inside fit at this place) will achieve improved response with more resistance.
3. Placement inside the bell lock receiver will achieve improved response with the most resistance.
1. Placement inside the F tuning slide will achieve improved response in that mode with the least amount of resistance.
2. Placement inside the bell lock receiver will achieve improved response for the total range with more resistance.
Since all instruments respond in varying degrees according to their inherent design, the AcoustiCoil can provide a measure of response adjustment by using the indicated placements for your trombone to determine your preference.
In any case, be careful to closely follow the installation instructions on the AcoustiCoil container's label card... matching the coil side with the retriever/guage so that is is positioned atthe presecribed distance in from the tubing edge (at the mark), coiled within itself and straight (with the overlapping edges matching).
Since it is necessary to see inside the instrument for the reecommended placements and critical adjustments with the retriever/guage/adjustment tool provided, it is also desirable to hold that portion ofthe trombone under a bright light during the installation process.
1. Placement inside the main tuning slide (on either side) will achieve improved response... with the least amount of resistance created at the side farthest from the mouthpiece, and vice-versa.
2. Placement inside one of the "branch" slides can achieve improved response on only selected notes playedwith that fingering; to improve one or two "problem" pitches. However, more than one AcoustiCoil affecting the same pitch is not recommended due to increased resistance which results... DO NOT combine numbers 1 and 2.
Since all instruments respond in varying degrees according to their inherent design, the AcoustiCoil can provide a measure of response adjustment by using the indicated placements for your euphonium or tuba to determine your preference.
In any case, be careful to closely follow the installation instructions on the AcoustiCoil container's label card... matching the coil side with the retriever/guage so that is is positioned atthe presecribed distance in from the tubing edge (at the mark), coiled within itself and straight (with the overlapping edges matching).
Since it is necessary to see inside the instrument for the reecommended
placements and critical adjustments with the retriever/guage/adjustment
tool provided, it is also desirable to hold that portion of the tuba or
euphonium under a bright light during the installation process.
