I can make this even more horn related. Orihon is what happens when balancing your horn on your lap while using both hands to replace the orihon music on your stand as fast as possible and the horn slips off your lap onto the floor. Dennis Houghton, Bob Osmun, Ken Pope, Jim Patterson et al love it when this happens; fixing orihoned bells and horns is a good way to make a living.

This is horn-related in two tortured ways - first, the letters of the word 'orihon' contain the word 'horn'. =================================================================== orihon (OR-ee-hon) noun A book or manuscript folded like an accordion: a roll of paper inscribed on one side only, folded backwards and forwards. [From Japanese, ori (fold), + hon (book).] Here's a picture of an orihon: http://www2.odn.ne.jp/reliure/imgs3/k_orihon.jpg The word origami is from the same root, from Japanese ori (fold) + -gami, kami (paper), the art of paper folding that can coax a whole menagerie from a few sheets of paper. =================================================================== The 2nd way that this word relates to horn is that on rare occasions, I have seen the horn part of orchestral music folded in orihon fashion. I remember an incident long ago when I had a fast page turn, and turned the page too roughly so that the accordion trickled off the music stand onto the floor, not unlike a Slinky. { David Goldberg: [EMAIL PROTECTED] } { Math Dept, Washtenaw Community College } { Ann Arbor Michigan } _______________________________________________ post: horn@music.memphis.edu unsubscribe or set options at http://music2.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/loren%40mayhews.us _______________________________________________ post: horn@music.memphis.edu unsubscribe or set options at http://music2.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org
