All you can do is try and buy the best you can and leave it in a press until it is time to use it
A press can be as simple as two-three $3 C-Clamps and two pieces of straight Hardwood leave the Horn in there until it is time to use.. Honestly this might not be the news that many want to hear because many of you don't buy ahead...
Thanks Glen, I been doing that! Maybe using cut off and reduced to using thickness blanks in the press would be better? Hate to have to buy a Paninni grill just for horn scales!
Thanks again!
