William, why should it be "a very rare ability to play very loud in the low register and I've only known a handful of people that can do it " ? There are many good low horn players in the professional field, many, but they don't "fart around".
If you are not sure, what I meant with this term "farting", listen to the playing & listen to a real great fart & compare. Then you will know, what I meant. Very simple. And most of these "farters" have to small mouth pieces & never CULTIVATED the low range. Many of them have neglected the fact, that "the lower you can dive down the higher you can climb up", and advantage for those who observed this rule. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, January 27, 2004 11:35 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Hornlist] Horn Pfarting Horn farting eh?
