"Fast" keywork
With proper setup and springs, is there any horn not capable of "fast keywork"? I've never come across any horn designs that are inherently "slow", yet I notice this characteristic brought up in discussion on occasion.
Sure, if the rods get rusty or the pivot screws are too tight, the response suffers, but these are (for the most part) addressable issues.
I think "fast" and "slow" horns are so due to their specific circumstance - not because of a general design characteristic. The only thing I can think of making a difference is pivot screws vs. a full rod. Keys on pivot screws can end up a little noisy unless they are set just right, but I find them to be faster and, of course, more forgiving to work on.
Anyone have a specific opinion on this?
