Reminds me of the old trick of 'half-valving' to get the c3 on an 8D we messed with way back in college. I haven't tried that for many years....anyone remember the technique?

I listened to a Concertgebouw recording (Harnoncourt), and I'm sure that their 1st horn is not playing that note. How to manage it?< Dear All This one is naughty but nice! An old dodge in this country is to play the note 1st valve on the F horn WITH THE 1ST VALVE SLIDE REMOVED! I once played 2nd in a BBC recording of this symphony with a player who has been very well known in London for nearly 30 years (this was in his and my early days in Manchester) and he played it this way (you have to do it three times bearing in mind the repeat and da capo of the minuet). He got a thumbs up from the production 'box' after the third time. Cheers Paul A.
