Shorter instruments require different solutions which would appear strange to somebody who never thought about this solution. I got a fine descant (high F with harmonics for sopranino Bb) built with an original baroque bell shape. But the tube was too short to be bent into the first valve. So we entered the valve stock at a different place. If you look at the first Perinet instruments, it was also different then. ============================================================ =================================================

I've owned various examples, but they've all been a more conventional wrap. I haven't seen one that bypasses the second valve on the way in, then connects the bell to it. Anyone recognize the manufacturer? _______________________________________________ post: horn@music.memphis.edu unsubscribe or set options at http://music2.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/hans%40pizka. de _______________________________________________ post: horn@music.memphis.edu unsubscribe or set options at http://music2.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org
