Our associate principal Duane Saetveit has always played a 8d with a Atkinson lead pipe. I also have one of the original Atkinson lead pipes on my 8d. In all the years I have heard Duane play and no matter what horn he was playing... even a hose pipe... he always had the same beautiful sound.
I think the sound we get is the sound in our head. I have really never had any trouble blending in with the section on my 103. However, when I auditioned for the San Antonio symphony many many many years ago :) I was told if I showed up with a horn that was "silver" Allessandro would not even listen to me. So, who knows??

I played a Schmid double for a long time and got a little negativity sometimes due to my sound not blending in well with 8D sections. I didn't win a recent audition because of it - and I was in the final round, too. I sometimes wonder if it was more of a visual thing than auditory - but I'm probably changing to a Geyer now anyway. Sometimes I think if we were all blind we might not even tell much of a difference in sound. I think Ken Pope even showed something to that effect at a symposium one year. -William -----Original Message----- From: Reicher, Tom <[email protected]> To: The Horn List <[email protected]> Sent: Thu, Jun 9, 2011 11:07 am Subject: Re: [Hornlist] LA Phil picks Aussie for Principal Horn Good to hear that the Alex 103 may have established a beach head in LA. Adding further variety to horn sound in the US is to be welcomed, though Milton's post suggests that the Kruspe/Conn sound world may be too strong to resist.

It was later that he changed to the Conn 8d. Milton Milton Kicklighter 4th Horn Buffalo Philharmonic Retired ________________________________ From: Robert N.

I had not heard that (some Googling confirmed it), so congrats to Mr. Bain! My friend also told me that Mr. Bain plays on an Alex 103, which would seem to mark a different direction for the LA horn section. Interesting news, I thought, so I figured I'd pass it on.
