Steve, both the 6D and the 567 are great high school level horns and could be played beyond that. I started on a Conn single F horn but was moved up to a 6D as a sophomore and junior. As a senior I got an 8D but sfter high school graduation I had to take a college horn, which put me back on a 6D. Good horn, though, and I progressed well on it. I even bought my daughter a used 6D when she was in high school. I now play an 8D and in our horn section we have two 8D's, a Holton 187, and a 6D. The holton is the one which has trouble blending in.
The only time I ever played a 567 was after I had not played for 10 years, and I would have sounded bad on just about any horn then. :-) Jim McDermott Lake Area Community Orchestra message: 9 date: Wed, 27 Oct 2004 21:46:47 -0400 from: "Steve Freides" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Any education is most welcomed. At the very least, I can see why a beginner would prefer the 6D to the 567 - it is, overall, more forgiving. Many thanks in advance. -S- _______________________________________________ post: [EMAIL PROTECTED] unsubscribe or set options at http://music.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org
