Hi all,
I see a lot of used horns with various stuff wrapped around the gooseneck. I've never played one that had such a treatment. I wonder why so many folks do that.
Maybe skin sensitivities? Does it have any sonic effects? Comfort?
Just curious

I have a lot of horns with no lacquer. And a lot of white shirts with black/green collars.

And, sometimes laundry can't fix green collar on white shirt...

I put a wrap on my XO 1032 to avoid lacquer damage from skin oils when I had it…played the same with or without it. Now I just keep up on wiping the horn down after each use and just don’t worry about the wrap anymore.

Because they want their neckpipe to look like this.

I'm just going to start wearing green shirts. Why didn't I think of that before?

What is that it was wrapped with? Looks like maybe Kraft paper?
