Check out the Lawson Brass website http://www.lawsonhorns.com/. If you see stuff that you like, give the folks there a call. They may be willing to talk to you, that or a written letter. E-mail may be problematic, some times they answer, some times they don't.
-----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Adam Watts Sent: Sunday, October 22, 2006 12:13 PM To: horn@music.memphis.edu Subject: [Hornlist] Music Physics Seeing as the board lacks traffic at the moment, I thought it may be more prudent to ask this slightly odd question now. I am a freshman physics student at UIUC, and I am working with an adviser to create an option for my major (Engineering Physics) in Acoustics. My ultimate goal is to use physics in the realm of the French Horn, either by working in a design team for a company like Conn-Selmer, or in a private shop designing mouthpieces, or something similar; I used to make my own mouthpieces in my high school's metal shop, and it fascinated me. However, I'm not too sure what classes I should look for, or to whom I should speak about entering this sort of field. I am currently in a Physics of Music class, and am preparing to do a research project on the horn (the link to which I'll post here if anyone is interested), and am currently reading Backus' /The Acoustical Foundations of Music/ and Benade's /Fundamentals of Musical Acoustics/. Does anyone on this list have any suggestions as to people I should contact for advice/information, internship opportunities in the Champaign IL area, career possibilities, books to read, or anything I would find useful? I would greatly appreciate any advice. Thanks in advance, Adam Watts _______________________________________________ post: horn@music.memphis.edu unsubscribe or set options at http://music2.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/bgross%40airmail.net _______________________________________________ post: horn@music.memphis.edu unsubscribe or set options at http://music2.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org
