Hey guys!
Yay or nay on a counter for a straight Bach 42?
I try not to use a counterweight if I don't have to but this guy is a little awkward. Different point of balance then I'm used to...

On a straight horn? No choice for me, weight every time.

Yes. No choice also.
I have tried a 42C with straight gooseneck and no counterweight. Very front-heavy to the point of uncomfortable. A straight 42 should be pretty much the same.

On my straight goose neck for my Edwards I put the counterweight on the horn brace rather then the tuning slide brace.
I had recently played with my CR valve with the studs and noticed the difference in each stud. So I tried several different placements. I found putting the counterweight closer to the neck pipe played better.
I would imagine that if one had different size counterweights to try, we would all be more familiar with the differences.
